Workbook For
“Living Victoriously Introduction 3”


Jesus, make it clear to me that I am a spirit being;
my spirit is the real me and CAN base its decisions on spiritual concepts.
Help me realize this and “do what it takes” to grow in spiritual things.


I Am A Spirit Being

I Am A Child Of God
I Am Being Trained For Eternity
Rev 1:6 (AKJV) And has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Rev 5:10 (AKJV) And has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 1 Cor 6:3 (NIV) Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Jesus, as a child of God, a member of His family, and a citizen of His Kingdom, let me be taught by You how to live this kind of life. You lived this life in front of me so I could see and understand what You had in mind. You gave me instructions; and, provided me with provisions and power to become a mature child of God. Teach me as a spirit being, that I have opportunities to grow in a mighty way.


SPIRITual Growth
Eph 4:11-13 (NIV) It was He (Jesus) Who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Jesus, help me understand that these studies are from apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Show me that You are using them to speak to me so I can be prepared for works of service, so that I may be built up until I reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of You.


Applying Myself
Jesus, You said in John 15:1-5 (NIV): “I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. Teach me that the pressure isn’t on me; all I have to do is put my faith, trust, reliance, and dependency on You and You will empower me to do the rest.


I Just Yield To Jesus
Apart from Me you can do nothing: Jesus, make it clear to me that the first and most important thing for me is, I need to DESIRE to grow spiritually. Show me that one of the things that can help me desire this is the fact that I want You to help me with my issue with guilt. Help me see that, that desire is helping me WANT to “do what it takes” to get Your help. Help me understand that another thing that can help me want to grow spiritually is to see what God has for those who do. Help me see that He is not only empowering me to be set free from my struggles with guilt, He is helping me trade it for The Victorious Christian Life. If I understand and DESIRE to get all God has for me, it will automatically drive out those things that are hurting me.


I Am Learning How To Yield To Jesus
If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit: Jesus, teach me that there are two parts to my growing spiritually and being set free from my struggles with guilt. It is a simple matter of me learning how to get my eyes off of human help and put them on You. The moment my faith, trust, dependency, and reliance are on me or other humans is the moment I cease to remain in You. My success in life and in eternity are dependent on me learning how to LET You teach me how to get my needs met through You. If a solution doesn’t come right away through You, help me NOT start looking for some other way; teach me that, that is when I am NOT remaining in You. Help me let You show me how to win at life so I will automatically win in eternity.
I Am Looking At Jesus’ Purpose For My Growth
Jesus, You gave me a special parable, which is an illustration for explaining spiritual truths to me. Show me that in this parable You explain the correlation between my success here on earth and my success in eternity. Help me learn these important truths from this parable.


I Am Training For Eternity
Luke 19:12-13 (NIV) He (Jesus) said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

Luke 19:14-15a (NIV) But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ He was made king, however, and returned home.

Luke 19:15b-17 (NIV) Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it. The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’ ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’

Luke 19:18-19 (NIV) The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’ His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

Luke 19:20-23 (NIV) Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’ His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

Luke 19:24-26 (NIV) Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’ ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’ He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.

Luke 19:27 (NIV) But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”


I Am Living For Eternity
Jesus, help me realize that all of the Biblical principles are capable of being used in my daily life. As a matter of fact, You expect me to apply them to everything I do. Teach me that if I live a Biblical life, I am living for eternity. Help me see that for every Biblical principle I add to my life-system, I am making my life count for eternity. Also teach me that for every human or world system I use during my day only counts for here on earth. Show me that the servant that increased his ten minas did so in representation of my activities here on earth. Then show me that the ten cites he is being put in charge of represent my eternal opportunities in heaven. Help me understand that the power for this man to succeed in this life was represented in the minas. Your provisions to me will be a special power like the minas to live successfully. Without those minas, the servant wouldn’t have had an opportunity to succeed.


I Am Living In Righteousness
Jesus, help me take my salvation and justification and multiply them in my daily life; let it prepare me for greater and greater rewards and opportunities in Your Kingdom. Now that I can understand spiritual things because of my new birth, make me ready to be trained in for being the best there is in You, Christ Jesus. Train me and advance me to as great a degree as I am willing. But, help me see that You leave it up to me as to how much training and spiritual growth I am willing to allow You to give me. Help me see that You have made Yourself totally available to me so I will have every opportunity to be very successful here and in eternity.
