Bible Verse of The Day – 9-4-24

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

As John penned his first epistle to the early church, he began the fourth chapter by warning believers that many false prophets had gone out into the world.

His purpose was to tell the body of Christ that we must not believe every spirit, but test the spirits by which messages come to us from those who call themselves men and women of God.

He went on to warn that the spirit of the Antichrist was already in the world and is using these same false prophets to spread lies and deceit throughout the body of Christ.

John then spoke words of faith and encouragement to the believers of that day by stating that they had already overcome the spirit of the Antichrist “because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

The truth that he stated that “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” is one that most of us fail to fully comprehend.

It is a deep truth that carries much more weight than we realize.

As children of God, grasping the weight of this truth will help us live lives of strong faith and great spiritual fortitude.

It will also help us defeat fear in our lives and live our lives more powerfully in the Spirit.

God never intended that we live lives of fear and trepidation, trembling at the thought of the enemy.

He has given us the weapons we need to live strong lives of victory. We just need to understand and remember that we live not by what we see or what we can understand by our natural eyes and mind, but by the Spirit of God and the faith that He has planted in us.

And it is when we understand that our battles are not carnal, but spiritual, that we know our strength lies not in ourselves, but in living and walking by the Spirit of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…
