The Memory Text is fitting to the title of this weeks study.
"Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed" (Genesis 32:28).
Looking at this week's and last week's studies, how did he ever prevail?

Here's one way: Jacob "had power over the Angel, and prevailed." Hosea 12:4. Through humiliation, repentance, and self-surrender, this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He had fastened his trembling grasp upon the promises of God, and the heart of Infinite Love could not turn away the sinner's plea. {PP 197.1}
By God's grace,
Arnold
1 John 5:11-13
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

And that is the only we can also prevail. Where does John 15:5 enter into our prevailing experience?
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."

John 15:5 I (Jesus) am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
We can only prevail through our connection with Jesus Christ.

We can only prevail through our connection with Jesus Christ. Who prevails then, Jesus or I? How pong do I need to prevail?

I said "we prevail" did I not?  Whoever is connected to Jesus Christ prevails. We prevail as long as we are connected. I prevail as long as I am connected.
