| “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” – I John 5:4 |

| One of the areas that we must be victorious over is the world. Breaking the power of the world in our lives is our FAITH. As believers, we do not walk by sight but by faith! We see the one who is invisible! We see life from an eternal perspective, not a temporal perspective. When we think about the temptations of the world we must remember that the things of the world and its lust will PASS AWAY. Recall that earlier John wrote this admonition in 1 John 2:15 writing, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” The transformed life that is conforming to the image of Christ rather than the world happens as we activate FAITH. We take the step of faith to do, yes to obey, the will of God! When we obey God’s will by faith we will experience victory over the world! It comes back to the question of whether you are walking by sight or by faith? Faith believes God is right! Verse for May 4 (5/4) is 1 John 5:4. It says, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” Continue Strong walking by FAITH! And remember to DATE The Word |
