The Way to Overcome: Believe | Smith Wigglesworth Study Guide

A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries

How does faith overcome the world in 1 John 5?

John identifies the one who overcomes as the person who believes Jesus is the Son of God.

Read the passage in context

1 John 5:1–5 · KJV

The message’s title is a starting point for reading John’s relationship between belief, love, and obedience.

From the passage to daily life

Read the five verses as an argument. Love for God and for His children appears beside faith in Jesus, giving overcoming a concrete shape.

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
