VICTORIOUS FAITH
By: Pastor Jerry A. Jabon
(A simple outline na pweding magamit sa PAG exhort)
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:4-5
Victorious faith is the belief that faith in Jesus Christ leads to victory over sin, sickness, and other forces that may hold people down. The Bible says that faith is the weapon of warfare against sin, and that believers are more than conquerors through Christ.
Here are some ways to live a victorious Christian life:
1. Surrender to God: Live a life of faith, surrendering to God moment by moment.
2. Read the Bible: Faith that leads to victory comes from the Word of God.
3. Fight sin: Be actively engaged in combat against sin, rather than passively accepting that it will eventually go away.
4. Look and act like Jesus: Victory comes when people look and act more like Jesus.
5. Praise and worship God: Praise and worship God for the answer to problems.
Some Bible verses that relate to victory include:
1 John 5:4, "For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith"
Deuteronomy 20:4, "For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory"
1 Corinthians 15:57, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ"
64 And faith is the victory that overcomes every curse of the devil. Faith is the victory. Faith in what? Not faith in your church, not faith in your creed, not faith in some man. But, faith in Jesus Christ Who made the promise, that’s the victory. What is it? It is the victory.

But he never excluded them, for he said this, “The faith is the victory that overcomes the world,” the whole thing. How is it? Get faith in it. Ride above it. When we have the written Word of God laying before us, and the Holy Spirit here performing and showing the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, with the Divine promises written here, that, “Whatsoever thing you desire when you pray, believe you receive it, and you shall have it.” What do you have to do then? Have faith. Not just floating faith, not just a make-believe faith, but a real faith.
62 Now, faith is a conqueror. Faith is an overcomer. It just isn’t a—a peace-maker. It overcomes. “Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.” What does it do? What is faith? What is, to “conqueror”? Conquer and victory is the same. To conquer, it means “to beat down; to over-ride; to handcuff; to throw into prison.” It means that the sin that once ruled you, you rule it now. It means that you have overcome it.

And believe that that faith will overcome any difficult that there is. You may be so burdened with sin until your soul is as smutty as it can be. You may have tried to get rid of that ill-temper, that slandering tongue, that gossip on the telephone. You might have tried every remedy you know how. But if you’ll just let Jesus Christ come into you tonight, He’ll operate on your faith, and give you a faith that will climb beyond anything that the world can produce. Why? Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
98 How could you doubt, when Jesus Christ the Son of the living God is present here now? His great Holy Spirit in this building. The Word promised, that, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” It was promised by the Lord. God has to keep His Word. Do you believe that? When He promised He would do these things, God is solemnly obligated to do such.
