C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N.S--Whose Team are You On?

Jason ElkinsFeb 20, 2008

Christ has eliminated my guilt
His Spirit tells me I am his child
Awesome victory is mine
My mind is set on his Spirit
Power is made perfect in weakness
I have the intercession of the Holy Spirit and Jesus
Only God knows why bad things happen to good people
Nothing separates me from his love
Satan has been defeated!

The New England Patriots were 18-0 and were favored by two touchdowns to beat the New York Giants. However, Eli Manning and team were driven by determination to overcome all odds and win the Super Bowl.

The Catch The Giants took the lead with eleven minutes in the fourth quarter. The Patriots never blinked and put together a long drive to regain the lead and appeared to become the first team to go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl.

With less than three minutes to play Manning was in the grasp of two or three Patriot defenders and appeared to be sacked. Suddenly, Manning breaks from the clutches of the defenders and throws a desperation pass.

Thirty-two yards down field was David Tyree who leaped into the air with a defender glued to him. Surprisingly, Tyree was able to get one hand on the ball and hold it on his helmet while he tumbled to the ground with the defender trying to wrestle the ball from him. The miraculous catch was ruled complete, and the rest is history. New York pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NFL history.

Champions are driven by determination when all odds are against them. They break from the clutches of their circumstances and make impossible catches.

What are you facing today? Are you in the grasp of impossibility? Does the ball appear to be too high to catch?

The Giants are NFL Champions for the next twelve months. If you have repented of your sins, you are among a host of eternal champions! Don’t forget you are favored to win. Repeat our team slogan with me:

C hrist has eliminated my guilt
H is Spirit tells me I am his child
A wesome victory is mine
M ind is set on his Spirit
P power is made perfect in weakness
I have the intercession of the Holy Spirit and Jesus
O nly God knows why bad things happen to good people
N othing separates me from his love
S atan has been defeated!
