My prayer for you for today is that you will not be
misled by people but that you will listen to the Spirit in you, in Jesus name.

John 4:4
But
you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those
people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who
lives in the world.
Greater - the
Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. This
is just one of those awesome verses in the Bible that leaves you in awe for a
moment. John writes here in chapter four about false prophets and mentions that
they already existed even in his time. I think over the years the enemy brings
people into our lives to mislead us and confuse us. You see one of the enemy’s
best attacks is to bring distance between you and the will of God, to bring separation
between you and the foundation that is Jesus Christ. There are so many that
will come under the Christian cloak to deceive us in changing our belief. In the
end the Bible must remain your fall back and all should be tested against this
guideline. But what truly moved me is this quick comparison John makes in
saying that the Spirit that lives in you is greater than the spirit that lives
in the world. I think this is one of the most important things that we keep on
forgetting. Nothing in this world is greater than God and nothing in this world
can be compared to Him.
My dear friend, in you dwells a powerful God. If you can
grasp this concept and make it your own, nothing will be able to move you. You will
be a rock that God can use as a foundation to build people up for His kingdom. Knowing
and understanding the gift of the Holy Spirit is fundamental in achieving freedom
from your worldly self. My dear friend, how I pray that you will come to
understand the power that lies within you, a boundless and endless pool of
strength and courage. I pray that it will make you bold and brave so that
nothing will bring you down.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
