Verse
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for . They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:1-6 ESV)
My Word or Phrase
Overcome
My Image
I remember running my only marathon and being nagged by physical problems, but I overcame them and finished the race. We at times are nagged by the world but with the help of the Spirit we can overcome the world’s nagging.
My Invitation
To quit worrying about what the world thinks and push forward guided by God through the Spirit to do what God is calling me to do.
My question for you is who are you listening to, God or the world? Are you distracted by what the world is telling you? Remember, “he (the Spirit) who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
