Week 20: 1 John 5:5

"Who is the one who overcome the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"
1 John 5:5
 
Hello there promise movers!  Pretty simple promise this week, but sometimes in the kingdom of God, the simplest things are the most powerful.  Would you like to overcome the world?  I sure would!  According to this promise, the only thing we have to do to have victory over the world is believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God!
 
Verse 4 tells us that "whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world -- our faith."  It doesn't matter what part of the world you're looking for victory over; sickness, fatigue, lusts, addictions, relationships, finances, career - faith in Jesus Christ grants you victory over every single aspect of the world.  Not just slight victories either, but complete and total victory!
 
So exercise your faith this week.  If things are getting hard and it's looking like the world is starting to get the upper hand, cling to this promise, along with the countless other promises that God gives us in His Word.  YOU ARE VICTORIOUS OVER THE WORLD!  Not because of anything that you did or didn't do, but because you have put your faith, hope and love in the One who first conquered the world: Jesus Christ!
 
That's it!  Told you it was pretty simple.  Now go and walk in victory my friends!  Move on this AWESOME promise the Lord has granted us!
