Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

2. 1 John Series 1 John 5:4-5 Victorious In Christ, Pt 2

3. Believing in Christ makes you victorious, whether you continue to experience or perpetuate that victory, depends upon your attitude toward Bible doctrine.

4. John continues to refute Gnosticism by pointing out the fact that the man Jesus is the Christ, who is also God.

5. Anyone who believes in Him, in this way, is victorious over false teaching from Satan's Cosmic System that denies Christ's deity, and therefore His efficacious work upon the Cross.

6. 1 John 5:5 "Who is victorious over the world
1 John 5:5 "Who is victorious over the world? Except the person believing that Jesus is the Son of God".

7. Two kinds of Overcomers: 1
Two kinds of Overcomers: 1. Every believer because of the saving work of Jesus Christ on their behalf and their position / union in Him.

8. Positional Sanctification: You share in Christ's Strategic Victory of the Angelic Conflict.

9. Rev 5:5, "And one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome (Aorist, Active, Indicative) so as to open the book and its seven seals.”"

10. 2. Those believers who grow to spiritual maturity and are winners of rewards in the eternal state.

11. Experiential Sanctification: You win tactical victories daily.

12. Rom 12:21, “Do not be overcome (Present, Passive, Imperative) by evil, but overcome (Present, Active, Imperative) evil with good.”

13. Principles: 1. The initial victory over the Cosmic System occurs at the moment of salvation.

14. 2. There are two results of the initial victory: a) Your everlasting union and victory in Christ, due to His strategic victory of the Angelic Conflict.

15. b) You are entered into the temporal state of God's Power System
b) You are entered into the temporal state of God's Power System. This is the sphere of tactical victories that you can win, when filled with the Holy Spirit.

16. 3. You can not lose your permanent victory, position in Christ, over the Cosmic System. John 10:28-30

17. 4. You can lose your initial entrance into God's Power System due to sin. 1 John 1:6, 8

18. 5. When you lose your initial entrance, you will not achieve experiential, tactical, victory in the Angelic Conflict.

19. 6. God has given us His grace in 1 John 1:9, for the cleansing of our souls from sin, and to regain the filling of the Holy Spirit - GPS.

20. 7. When you are entered back into GPS and experiential sanctification, you then can win tactical victories experientially over Satan's Cosmic System.

21. 8. The initial experiential victory demands perpetuation.

22. 9. The only way to perpetuate that victory, is to continue to reside and function inside GPS.

23. 10. That requires frequent use of 1 John 1:9, and overcoming various cosmic trials, temptations and momentum tests.

24. 11. That is accomplished through the application of AGAPE love
11. That is accomplished through the application of AGAPE love. GPS is the sphere and AGAPE Love is the environment for tactical victory.

25. 12. Divine mandates reveal that God’s game plan for the Church Age is residence and function inside GPS coupled with the application of AGAPE love.

26. 13. The believer only has tactical advantage over the Cosmic System when he functions in AGAPE Love by means of GPS.

27. 14. While all believers are classified as Cat
14. While all believers are classified as Cat. 1, only those believers who consistently reside in GPS and function in AGAPE Love will be classified as Cat. 2 Overcomers.

28. 15. Only Cat. 2 believers will be winners of blessing and rewards in the eternal state. 1 Cor 3:10-15
