Verse: Isaiah 2:12

"See, God has come to save me. I will trust in Him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; He has given me victory."

For young men’s Vida Nueva #8 God has given us the theme of Victory in Jesus.  What image does the word victory bring to your mind?  Victory is one of those words that just to say it makes us feel good. Why? What does victory really mean? The dictionary defines it as, “the ultimate and decisive superiority in any battle or contest.” Every battle is defined by the Victor and the Enemy, by the field it transpires in and by the weapons we chose to use in the course of the battle.Young men your life is a battlefield. In your life you will have skirmishes and full scale battles. There are two strong opposing sides fighting to win these battles. On the one side we have God and on the other there is Satan.The bible says Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.  So first you must chose whose side you will be on. For me and this team who will serve you it will be God side.  We chose Him because He first chose us and we recognize that there is only one way, one man and one God,  who we are fully relying on, and that is Jesus Christ our Lord.In this battle we will face many giants, we will grasp on to him for he is our anchor, we will hold fast and we will stand strong in Christ.I am here to tell you our leader in this battle is Jesus.He has provided all the ammo we need and all the gear we are to wear as we go out to fight. He is the one who has come to save you. He did that on the cross when He died and was buried and resurrected to pay for our sins.  We have no reason to fear because He is trustworthy and has proclaimed our Victory. He is our strength. He has given us a new song to sing and He has given us the Victory.
