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
There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

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.
