What if You Already Had the Power to Overcome Anything?


If you want to walk in victory, you have to get your mind around the fact that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is living inside you right now. Have you ever thought about that?

The Spirit of God doesn’t live in you passively. The Spirit has a purpose in your life. Nothing rivals it. Nothing can stand against it. Galatians 5:16 tells us that if we walk by the Spirit, we will not gratify the desires of our flesh.

Timothy AteekAfter graduating from Texas A&M University (’03), I earned a master’s degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. I then served as the Student Ministry Pastor of Austin Ridge Bible Church in Austin for five years, the Executive Director of Vertical Ministries in Waco for four years, and the Executive Director of Breakaway Ministries in College Station for five and a half years. Along the way, I earned a Doctor of Educational Ministry degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
The best decision I have made in life (next to following Jesus) was marrying my wife Kathryn. We are raising three future Aggies: Noah, Andrew, and Jake. I spend my free time training to become the G.O.A.T in tennis in the “born in 1981, works at Watermark, and is half-Palestinian” bracket.
I love teaching the Word of God and consider it an amazing privilege to teach it to the people of Watermark who treasure it and seek to live it out!
