If there was ever a three-point strategy to live an overcoming life, this is it. 

1. Look at Jesus

2. Watch and pray

3. Fellowship

WHY LOOK AT JESUS?

1. Love like Him (John 13:34)

2. Have faith like His (Hebrews 12:2)

3. Overcome the world by the Spirit (Matthew 4)

4. He is our example to follow (1 Peter 2:21)

5. Put on His character of humility and lowliness of heart (Matthew 11:29)

WATCH AND PRAY

1. Watching means to see the world through the lens of God's Word (The Bible). Whatever the Bible says is happening now. Only those who do not read do not know. God's Word vs people's opinions, what should a believer choose? 

2. Pray with understanding and pray in the Spirit. Both are essential forms of praying to help us pray according to the will of God. Pray like Jesus (Hebrews 5:7)

FELLOWSHIP

Gather together according to the will of God (Hebrews 10:25). We are unique members of the body of Christ. When we pray together, we stay together. The Holy Spirit prepares us for the rapture as we continue to comfort one another. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

Of course, this is a crisp version of an otherwise larger and deeper topic. There is much for us to discover in the Word to live an overcoming life.  

Trust Jesus. The time is at hand. 

Maranatha, praise God and Amen.
