This is a very important study; Jesus not only uses it to deal with the instructions for HOW to get His power in your life, He uses it to take you step by step into actually GETTING that power. Many people have been given training on Christianity; but, they haven’t been given the steps into EXPERIENCING a new BIRTH into salvation that produces Christianity. We can all learn how to “act” like a Christian; we can even learn how to talk “like” a Christian; but, acting like and talking like a Christian doesn’t make us a Christian; only Jesus and His power can do that.

Jesus, through “The Power Introduction” courses INTRODUCED you into information “about” Christianity; that made you knowledgeable and informed; but, it didn’t make you transformed. You met Nicodemus, as Jesus explained being born again in the “Importance Of The Power Life” course. Nicodemus was VERY knowledgeable ABOUT God and the things of God; but, Jesus knew he had not yet been BORN again.

The thing we ALL have to realize is, only those who have taken the steps with Jesus into the new birth EXPERIENCE, get born into God’s family, get the new life, and get Jesus’ power to live life. Being born again is an experience that Jesus gives us; it happens in a moment of time, NOT over a long period of training; it is an actual, supernatural, spiritual BIRTH.

Just like there is a moment when a baby is born into this world, there is an exact second when a person is BORN AGAIN into the family of God. Jesus will use this study to take you right up to and through the MOMENT when you are BORN as a child in the family of God. If you have never experienced a moment where Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, told you that you ARE a child of God, then you need to take a look at this study.

Just like there are diseases and dangers that try to kill us humans, there are spiritual diseases and dangers that try to destroy the power Jesus gives us when we are born again into salvation. There are three major areas where you can be attacked and damaged in your power source. If you react in the wrong way to these attacks, it will hurt you. However, Jesus wants to give you one reaction you can have to all the events of life; He and it will help you KEEP the power flowing in and through you.

Jesus will be using this study to help you be aware of all the pitfalls and traps that will come your way; and, He will teach you how to have the right power-reaction to them. If you know ahead of time exactly what to expect from life, then you can be ready to win over those issues. The three possible “reactions” Jesus will be showing you in this study have to do with understanding, receptivity, and distraction.

In this study, Jesus is going to give you a chance to experience His power so you can UNDERSTAND His principles. After you have adequate time to experience what being born again can do for you, you can then decide if you are willing to be RECEPTIVE to an eternity with Him. You have a God-given free will that allows you to decide whether or not you will be DISTRACTED and not KEEP this power in Jesus’ salvation experience.

The three areas of pressure that will be coming against you will be temptations or invitations to “trade” the power you have received through Jesus’ salvation and go back to things of this world. These invitations (temptations) will be traps that pull you back into your old life of powerlessness. Jesus will use this study to help you be able to resist these temptations and REACT by using the fourth reaction; The fourth reaction will have understanding, receptivity, and freedom from distractions. He and this study will help you win by helping you UNDERSTAND His principles, be RECEPTIVE to Him, and not be DISTRACTED by the offers of the world.

The fourth reaction is a process of defeating your old life, the world, and the devil. Through UNDERSTANDING the Bible and its principles, being RECEPTIVE to a whole new and powerful way of life, and not allowing your old life, the world, and the devil to DISTRACT you. You will be empowered to keep from being lured back into slavery to extreme pleasure, addictions, habits, and lifestyles that hurt you and those around you. And, not only that, you will discover a power life that offers happiness, joy, and excitement. Jesus will teach you how to have money, possessions, positions, popularity, prestige, power, pleasure, and accomplishments without using the world and the devil’s systems.

A lot of what we do is use study to LEARN things; and, that is important. But, stopping at getting information just so we can know and repeat it isn’t Jesus’ plan for your life. He wants you to learn all about what is available to you and then for you to learn how to use it to empower your life. Jesus helped design this study to assist you in LIVING the power life.

Getting the power life isn’t the same as using it; just because we have Jesus’ power doesn’t mean we know how to put it into practice. We can even do what it takes to keep the power and still not use it. What would cause us to get and keep the power of being born again through salvation and not use it? One reason would be that we lack the knowledge of how to use it. It is like buying an item that requires a lot of instruction for how to set it up for use. If we don’t read the instructions, we have to use trial-and-error methods to see if we can get it to work. Jesus teaches us, through this study, to start using and living the power life without the stress and disappointment of trying and failing.

One of the main tricks of the world and the devil is to bait or lure us into coming back into its control. They use types of pleasure that have hooks in them that dishonor our God-given free will. They offer such extreme pleasure that we find ourselves feeling compelled to experience them as much as is possible; before we know it, we are dominated by them. They start to do damage to us and those around us. They erode our attitudes and character, our relationships, our emotions, our finances, our physical condition, and our spiritual relationship with Jesus.

Jesus doesn’t offer anything that drives you, lures you, baits you, addicts you, or dishonors your God-given free will. He explains what His relationship with us would be like, helps us understand what He is offering and providing, and then lets us try it out. If at any time we want to discontinue the relationship, there is no contract, no restraints, no overwhelming pleasures, and no power exerted on us that keeps us from going back to the world; there is extreme freedom in Jesus. In this study, Jesus helps you live a life of complete freedom.

Living the same way, day after day, is taking advantage of Jesus’ power-life; but, it isn’t growing and maturing in it. If you get it, keep it, live it, and then stop there, you will have freedom from the things the devil and the world are trying to trap you in; BUT, you won’t get the benefits of what Jesus wants you to have. Freedom from bad things is wonderful; but, freedom to advance into the blessings, miracles, and gifts of God will still be missing. Letting Jesus remove all those wrong, bad, and evil things that have been hurting you is wonderful. But, letting Jesus fill you will right, good, and righteous things is awesome!

There are wonderful courses that still await you; you can learn how to pray for more and more of the things of God through The Prayer Courses. There are wonderful materials for you to add to your daily studies and prayers in The Resource Courses. After you have completed those two courses, Jesus will take you into all the Victorious Christian Living Subjects. Here is a list of the Victorious Christian Living Courses.

• The Strategy Courses: These lead us into victorious living.


• The Submission Courses: These lead us into giving ourselves over to Jesus’ power in our emotions, our body, our attitudes, our will-power, our mind, our choices, and our life.
