Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of GOD: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of GOD: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of GOD: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of GOD, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of GOD: he that knoweth GOD heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error. (1Jn 4:1-6)
GOD's people hear His voice, through the Spirit of GOD and the Word of GOD. He speaks when we pray; to convict of sIn, to comfort and guide us in our journey, and to direct our steps. He speaks from His Word that we might know Him, grow in Him, and be conformed to the image of His dear Son as we are obedient as doers of the Word and not hearers only. He speaks to us through that still small voice, that we might know that the way we are to go, to walk in His paths and join Him in His work.
There are many around us, and some within, that claim to speak for GOD, and yet do not know Him nor do they speak for Him, but for themselves or for their father, the devil. They can only deceive those who do not check what is said with the Standard of GOD's Word. We are to search the Scriptures daily whether those things we hear and read are so, and listen for the voice of GOD to counter the lies around us.
We have overcome in Him all that comes against us, and when we rely on His strength and not our own we will realize that overcoming power. GOD is greater than all, His Spirit within us empowers us to the victory He has already won, and His blood shed for us has already paid our sIn debt. That payment is not a license to sIn, but overcoming power to live in liberty and in Him, to do His will and accomplish His Work.
We are free from sIn, that we might serve Him and reach out to others who are hurting and in need. We are free from the penalty of sIn, not sIn more but to love one another and grow in Him through His Word. We are free, through His overcoming power from the power of sIn, that we might go to this world, free from its voices and lies, and take the Gospel of Truth to those around us, that they might believe the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for sIn and reconciliation with GOD in repentance of their sIn and faith in Him and receive life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
