Discover how to Take Your Place … today on Bold Steps with Mark Jobe. At some points in our life, we have a lot, but we don’t know how much we have. So, we live like paupers, when we should be living in light of who we are, children of the Most-High King. And then there are other times when we already have everything we need, but we don’t know it!  We’re like a computer … loaded with software that can produce, create, and manufacture … but if we don’t know that the software is loaded onto the system, then we won’t be able to access it. It’s the same in our walk with God … Spiritually, as God’s children, we have access to all that we need, but we need to take advantage of it.

Notes:

Focus verse - 1 John 5

READ: 1 John 5 (NKJV)
 
#1 Marks of a True Believer
 
The Greek word John used here is “nikao.”
 
Conquering will not be proven by your arrogance, words, or feelings, it will be proven by your actions.
 
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 (NKJV)
 
READ: 1 John 5:1–2
  
• Faith that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is the Son of God 
• Love for God and His people 
• Obedience to the Word  
 
READ: 1 John 5:3 (NKJV)
 
How you know:

Faith, love, and obedience ... These are not prerequisites to being saved. They are products of being born again.
 
#2 The Evidence for Our Faith
1 John 5:6–12
 
The Water, the Blood, and the Spirit 
 
Incarnation is the doctrine that Jesus was fully God and fully man.
 
You don’t just know about the truth… you feel it, sense it, and live it.
 
Do you have the Son?
1 John 5:12
 
Jesus is not a step in the process.
He is the whole process.
 
#3 Standing in Victory
1 John 5:13–21
 
Confidence in salvation gives you confidence in prayer.
 
Prayer isn’t about getting what we want; it’s about aligning with what God wants.
 
READ: 1 John 5:16–17
 
If you are standing in victory, you need to help pull others out of defeat.
 
READ: 1 John 5:21
 
Whatever you do, don’t let anything take Jesus’ place in your heart.
