Bible
The Word of the Lord declares:

For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he – Proverbs 23:7.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus – Philippians 2:5.

So, if you think you dare not, you don’t. If you would like to win and you think you can’t, it’s almost a cinch you won’t. Life’s battles do not always go to the swifter man. The man who wins is the man who thinks he can!

The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me – John 14:30.

There was in Him nothing that responded to Satan's sophistry. He did not consent to sin. Not even by a thought did He yield to temptation. So it may be with us. Christ's humanity was united with divinity; He was fitted for the conflict by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. And He came to make us partakers of the divine nature. So long as we are united to Him by faith, sin has no more dominion over us. God reaches for the hand of faith in us to direct it to lay fast hold upon the divinity of Christ, that we may attain to perfection of character – Desire of Ages, p. 123.

For with God nothing shall be impossible – Luke 1:37.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth – Mark 9:23.

According to your faith be it unto you – Matthew 9:29.


Q1: WHAT IS IT THAT YOU BELIEVE?

_________________________________________________________

Q2: BY WHAT MEANS DID JESUS OVERCOME IN THE CONFLICT WITH SATAN?

Desire of Ages, p. 123: By the word of God. Only by the word could He resist temptation. "It is written," He said. And unto us are given "exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1:4. Every promise in God's word is ours. "By every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" are we to live. When assailed by temptation, look not to circumstances or to the weakness of self, but to the power of the word. All its strength is yours. "Thy word," says the psalmist, "have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." "By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer." Ps. 119:11; 17:4.


Q3: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD BY FAITH?

Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 38: In every command and in every promise of the word of God is the power, the very life of God, by which the command may be fulfilled and the promise realised. He who by faith receives the word is receiving the very life and character of God.

What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve by the grace of God!

2 Corinthians 12:9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.


Q4: WHAT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS?

Colporteur Ministry, p. 106: The secret of success is the union of divine power with human effort. Those who achieve the greatest results are those who rely most implicitly upon the Almighty Arm.

If man is willing, God is able!
