1 John 4:2, “Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And 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. 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
The things that we are seeing and experiencing are all an attack by Satan and his demons from hell. But, greater is He that lives within me than he that is in the world. All our strength comes from God through His Holy Spirit. And Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes, He will testify of Me. His meaning is that the Holy Spirit in us will stand for and exemplify the TRUTH, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anything otherwise is the spirit of antichrist which was at work in the world then and even more so at this present time. However, the Holy Spirit within in us is greater than the spirit of antichrist which is in the world.
If our relationship in Christ remains vibrant and healthy, He will sustain us through any storm. Otherwise, the storm will break us! Matt. 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Whoever will hear and embrace the TRUTH, the gospel of Jesus Christ, is compared to those who reject the TRUTH. When the storm comes, the TRUTH will provide a sure foundation and guarantee victory. Those who reject the TRUTH will end in a catastrophic conclusion and great will be their fall as they succumb to the ensuing storm. (continued)
