For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scripture puts forth that those that are born of God have the faith to overcome the world...

Since this is scripture, it would therefore have to be true, so then it would be a matter of exercising this faith... Or more pointed, choosing to exercise this faith; for exercising one’s faith in God is a choice..

For seeing one can not make one hair black or white, so if changes are to come they must be done by another with the power to effect the change... Therefore faith calls on to another...

This is what the Gospel is, the bringing of the power of God into man to change his life from a sinner into a saint... For bringing one to victory through faith is saying as much as bringing one to growth through faith... For victory is the fruit of growth and that which is the cause, is one’s faith...

For to live by faith is to live looking off to Jesus in all things... This will not be a reality in life, till one has come to see they have no hope in themselves to effect a lasting change... Than as the eye of one’s life fixes itself on the hope promised in scripture.. It is this hope that does not disappoint... It is here that the heart lets go of itself to the hand of God... Trusts itself to a ever loving Creator...

This faith sees one victory after another, in both the small and the large... Than as the reckoning oneself dead is tasted and the freedom it brings is manifested, than being set free from sin becomes the norm.... It is then no longer the issue of not doing the wrong, but of doing the right, i.e. manifesting the fruit of the Spirit.... The good is sought after in life, this is the walking in righteousness in all one’s walk in life... In whatever thing one is involved in, righteousness is alone that thing that is sought after in that involvement... For one sees there can be an expression of righteousness in all things and it is bringing this expression to manifestation that is the will of God in all things....

Be blessed as we walk in His will...
