1 John 5:4 – 5 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
There are breakthroughs that I desire that require me to overcome things in this world. My only route to victory is what I have as a result of being Born of the Spirit, having God’s DNA. I have to come into situations with a different life form in order to overcome. I need a higher order life form to have victory. The vehicle for this is faith. I need to believe there is this other life and that his life is now in me as a result of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The difference between making and begetting is this: when you beget something, you beget something of the same kind as yourself… A man begets a man, God begets God. That which is begotten is Zoe.” C.S. Lewis – Mere Christianity
