I John 4:2-4: Karlyn

This week has been the craziest week of my year!  Sorry I've been missing since Monday.

S - By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that dos not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.  You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

O- How do we judge if it's from God or not?  Do they confess Jesus Christ came in the flesh and was from God!  Seems so simple.  There's quite a lot in our world that doesn't confess Jesus for who he really is.  No wonder we are hated by the world.

A - When i come up against those things and people who don't confess Jesus I can remember that He is in me and he is greater!

P - Lord I'm so greatful that your strength, knowledge, power, everything is greater than anything else in this world and I can always depend on you!  Help me to be discerning about who is of Christ and is not.

I John 4:1 - Karlyn

Good weekend but I'm exhausted!  Praying for endurance and rest!  Ginny I've thought about you a lot lately with what you shared about your attitude.  Hope your Monday was good!
 
S - Beloved , do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

O - False prophets have no truth in them so when measured up to God's word it should be obvious it's not from God.

A - Continue to be careful with books I choose to read and "CHRISTIAN" teachers I choose to listen to.  Is what they are teaching and writing measuring up to the truth in God's Word. 

P - Lord thank you for the standard of the Bible.  Thank you for giving us a measurement to test all other things against.  God I pray me nor my kids ever have to give up the freedom to read your Word whenever we want to.  Thank you for your protection and provision.
