Complete Victory In Jesus

When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes possession of the new heart.  A change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself.  It is a supernatural work, bringing a supernatural element into the human heart.  The soul is yielded to Christ and become His own fortress, which he holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own.  DA 324.


Our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer.  He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptation to be greater than the capacity of resistance.  If the soul is overborne, the person overpowered, this can never be charged to God, but the one tempted was not vigilant and prayerful and did not appropriate by faith the provisions God had abundantly in store for him.  Christ never failed a believer in his hour of combat.  The believer must claim the promise and meet the foe in the name of Lord. OHC 323.
