The Victorious Christian Life

STUDIES IN THE BOOK OF JOSHUA This guide to Victorious Christian Living is not about a theory to be admired but an experience to be enjoyed. The greatest need of the Christian Church is a revival of the New Testament standard of living. There seems to be a wide gulf between what we believe and how we live, a marked contrast between our position in Christ and our actual experience. Too often we claim to believe our Bible from cover to cover, but fail to live out its truths in daily conduct. The spiritual emphasis of the book of Joshua is to move the believer beyond conversion into the land of promise that awaits us here and now. This book is written with the fervent prayer that the Lord may use it for His glory to help many people face afresh the implications of the Cross and the pattern of God's redemption in personal life.

Many Christians don't experience purpose, victory, or overcoming in their lives. Instead there is emptiness and defeat. Tony Evans, in a down-to-earth, amusing-yet thoughtful-style that each of us has to gain-or regain the momentum necessary to sustain a lifelong drive toward triumphant spirituality.

The victorious Christian life is not based on what you do for God, but what Christ has done for you. In Christ, you were ordained to conquer weaknesses, rise above failures, and inherit all of God's promises. Jesus said, it is the Father's good pleasure to give you His kingdom. God wants you to inherit everything reserved for the believer. In fact, the Bible says that we have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness. This means that a life lived in Christ cannot fail. While Jesus promised freedom, many feel bound to their past, the requirements of religion, and the limitations of their abilities. This is because the promise isn't given to those who walk according to the flesh, but only to those who walk in the Spirit. So what does it mean to walk in the Spirit? How do you live according to the new creation and put the deeds of the old creation to death? Understanding these fundamental truths are essential for walking in victory. Victory has been given, but we must learn to live in the Spirit. Living by faith isn't complicated, but unless we know what has been given to us through Christ, the truth cannot set us free. Lay aside guilt, fear, and frustration. Take the hand of grace and enjoy your fellowship with God as you journey through a life of victory!

“For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV) “The Book Of Exhortations” will work as a mirror to the thoughts and intents of your heart. It will challenge you to go further with God in your faith-walk and acts of service. You will be challenged to reflect on your relationship with God, according to His perspective, while having your heart and mind stretched. The exhortations will also give you hope for healing, restoration, and deliverance from any kind of demonic stronghold that has held you captive. God's Word is like a refining fire. The more it burns in you, the more it will burn the chaff and dross out of you. “But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” (Romans 5:20 NKJV) This book is full of God's grace-filled Word. The grace of Jesus Christ is God's antidote for all of life's problems. The proclamation of the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all the nations, (Romans 1:16). And those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ, (Romans 5:17). Amen!!!

The beginnings of the Victorious Life Conference, which in the summer of 1918 grew into three gatherings in different parts of the country, may be placed in the years 1911 and 1912, when several young Christian workers in Philadelphia were led out into an experience in Christ which transformed their lives.

The Victorious Christian - Inheriting the Promises This book reveals the vital importance of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. It demonstrates why this Spirit of Christ is essential for anyone to understand the scriptures and to know the power of God. This book will show you how you can receive the Holy Spirit. It will demonstrate how this Spirit can teach you all things. It reveals how a Christian can be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a victorious life. It will also reveal to you how you can experience the power of God working in you through the Holy Spirit to enable you to endure to the end and inherit all the promises of God. Every chapter of this book focuses on at least one specific truth as presented in the scriptures concerning Jesus Christ our Lord and our lives as His followers. Some chapters also focus on exposing some of the more popular false teachings common in many churches today. To combat these false teachings, we proclaim Christ, the living Word of God. When we do, the light of His life will expose these false teachings as lies. Therefore, our goal in this book is simply to proclaim Christ, and the truth as it is in Christ. Our desire is to let the light of the Word shine through the words of this book. As you read through these books, you may experience the light of God's word shining on you and revealing things in your life that are displeasing to God. If you are uncomfortable with having the light of the Word shine upon you, upon your beliefs, and upon how you are living your life, perhaps you will not want to read any further. However, if you desire a fresh start to your life, if you desire a closer walk, a closer relationship with God, and are willing to be made a little uncomfortable, you may want to continue reading. If something is exposed in what you believe or in how you are living that is not pleasing to God, perhaps your desire for the truth will lead you to repent, turning back to God and drawing closer to Him. My goal is not to offend anyone, but to speak the truth as it is in Christ and to allow the light of the Word to shine through. My prayer is that the Word would bring every genuine believer into an intimate relationship with our Father in heaven, that we all might walk as Jesus walked, that we might follow in His steps! This book will show how the Christian, filled with the Spirit, can experience joy in the midst of trials, a peace that the world cannot take away, and a love for one another so great that they would gladly lay down their lives for their brothers, even loving their enemies. It examines our separation from God, and our reconciliation back to Him. It reveals the reality of remembering the Sabbath. It presents these truths in practical applications for our individual Christian lives and for our corporate church life. These truths are presented to encourage un believers to trust in Christ and come to a saving faith in Jesus, and to encourage believers to walk in faithful obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit, believing the truth as set forth in the scriptures. God is glorified as we demonstrate our love for Him through our obedience and through our love for one another. We do this by speaking the truth to one another and encouraging each other to gladly suffer for Christ and to endure faithfully to the end. This book has been designed as a resource for Bible study for both individuals and groups. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter. These questions are intended to stimulate thought and discussion concerning the truths covered in each chapter and how they apply to our lives. It is my hope that this book will help each reader and each listener come to a deeper understanding of our God and of His ways. I pray that every person that reads or listens to this book will become a victorious Christian and inherit all the promises. Jon von Ernst
