• To Sing a song of Victory (Psalm 20:1-9)
• 20 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of
Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up
our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy
heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of
the LORD our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Victory is one of the fascinating words. Nowadays people make victory sign by
using index and middle finger but originally it was thumb and index finger.
October, 1415 England and France were in war at Agincourt. In this war England
have only 6000 archers, and France had 25000 cavalry. Even though the England
started war, they were not good in shape through few months, so the king of
England Henry V ask France General to stop fighting but France declined. So
they fought again and England won the battle. After the battle the archers
check their thumb and middle finger which are most important body part in order
to shoot the arrows. This is the origin of V-sign.
Why I’m telling you this? When we won the battle with Satan, and when we
leave this world. In front of Heaven’s door I hope you can make V-sign and enter the Heaven!
So How can we sing a song of victory in heaven? Today’s texts tells this.
1. We have to relaying on God’s name.
Let us read Verse one again “The LORD hear thee
in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;”
The God’s name is the first secret. God’s name is Yahew which means mighty.
But our God is not just mighty his the all mighty.
Let us read verse 6-7
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy
heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of
the LORD our God.
Nowadays people use cannons, missile, tank, and jets in war. However, big
number of soldiers doesn’t guarantee winning
a battle. War is belongs to God. Whoever God wants to wind will win the battle.
In June 5th 1967 there was a war between Israel and Arab union the 6days war.
This war was end in shortest time in war history. There are 3 reasons behind
Israel’s victory. A. Monotheism. B. Unification
of public opinions. C. Air Superiority. At the beginning of the War Israel said
“We have secret weapon and we will win the battle because of it.” But no one reveal what was the secret weapon, what do you think is
was? It was faith that God is with them.
We are in war against Satan now. Satan is trying to corrupting people in every
ways.
We have to win this spiritual war. To do so we need faith like writer of Psalm.
We have to believe God will be the winner. We have to call out God’s name every day.
2.We have to praise God in the Holy place. Verse 2-4
“2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
These verses say the power if winning is come from people who praise the lord.
Praise and Worshiping is the act that admits God as God.
God bless worshipers to win all the battle against evil and enemy.
The Sanctuary of God is Head Quarter.
Where the knowledge and strategy to win the battle against Satan coming from.
The service time is most precious time, the time actually you can meet God and
tell him about you. There are no better place and time.
3. Pray
Let’s see the verse 5 “5 We will rejoice in
thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD
fulfill all thy petitions.”
In Korea 1978 five strangers break in to Mr.Ha’s house who was the C.E.O of Aria Music Instruments. The five mans
were the employees of the company, and they ask Mr. Ha to raise their paycheck
by 50%. After the accident happen Aria company was about to close their
factory. only thing the Mr. Ha can do was praying. However this situation was
on the newspaper and eventually the president Park saw the news. President
Park, gave order to his people to take a look at the case. What they found out
was Mr. Ha was helping people who just got out of prison to find job he gave
them chance and help them to rehab, but they betrayed him.
After receive report from agent, President Park decided to help Mr. Ha and he
gave land for factory in Gu-mi, and support from government. Few years later
the company made a lot of money and Mr.Ha built a church in his hometown.
This is the victory from pray; God listened to Mr. Ha’s pray.
In 2000, Pastor Bruce Wilkinson published The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through
to the Blessed Life and in 3 months the book named on Best seller, and sold
4100000 books.
Pastor Wilkinson said If our wish matches with God’s will. We should ask for it and God will give the blessing or
talent to those who asked for. In his book, guy name Jones went to heaven. He
found big storage while Peter introduces the Heaven. The building had no window
but only one door. So he asked Peter to go inside. There were white boxed from
bottom to top of the building, and all the boxes has name tags. So Mr. Jones
found his box. Peter didn’t recommend to open
it but he did anyways. Inside of box, there was a gifts and blessing God wanted
to give to him while he was alive. According to Wilkins, In Matthew 7:7 “ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you: “ but we didn’t ask God a lot and that’s why we didn’t got enough blessing from God.
[James] 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all
men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
[Ezekiel] 36:37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by
the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a
flock.
. [Luke] 11:9-10 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.
• When we ask to God, God wants to give us, If we didn’t ask God, God thinks “They might not need
this.” When you need God’s help ask for it!
Ask you to win!
Moses, David, and Daniel won the countless battles because they prayed. When
you pray you will win you will survive.
Conclusion) what is the Key point of the victory in our life against the world?
Relying on God and receive his power by praise and worship him! And pray harder
in order to receive God’s amazing blessings
and gifts! Still, Satan wants and tries to destroy our family, so being awaken
all the time and win the battle and challenges in your life Amen!
