Welcome to “God’s Word to You”!
God’s Word to You today is found in 1 John 4:2-5
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
More often than not I draw from our life experiences for the message. It isn’t just what happens to us it is how I see God in those things. Today is one of those times.
There was someone I heard about who tried to put down a witness and discredit a fellow Christian because they weren’t “on their side” in a matter. Because of this they tried to belittle the walk with God and even attempted to “put a curse” on the fellow believer.
Now I don’t know everyone’s view who reads this message but I do know what the Bible says. There is no power over a Christian except the power of the Holy Spirit and we can’t be cursed or taken by any other being.
We can’t be possessed our salvation taken nor our children or children’s children affected by the ramblings of those of this world or Satan’s deceived.
If we are saved we have the Holy Spirit living in us to guide us lead us and protect us. And He does it no matter what we face or even if we stumble.
I for one have no superstitious fears nor do I allow or believe in curses or soothsayers or the foolish who think they can talk to the dead. And if you are His you don’t have to either.
Today think about how the Holy Spirit lives in you. The question isn’t just does He but how do you acknowledge and trust Him.
