January 9 Devotion - He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world

 

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
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. ⁵ They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. ⁶ We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

 

1 ايها الاحباء لا تصدقوا كل روح بل امتحنوا الارواح هل هي من الله لان انبياء كذبة كثيرين قد خرجوا الى العالم.

2 بهذا تعرفون روح الله.كل روح يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فهو من الله.

3 وكل روح لا يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فليس من الله.وهذا هو روح ضد المسيح الذي سمعتم انه يأتي والآن هو في العالم.

4 لان الذي فيكم اعظم من الذي في العالم.

5

هم من العالم.من اجل ذلكانتم من الله ايها الاولاد وقد غلبتموهم  يتكلمون من العالم والعالم يسمع لهم.

6 نحن من الله فمن يعرف الله يسمع لنا ومن ليس من الله لا يسمع لنا.من هذا نعرف روح الحق وروح الضلال.

 

1 John 4:1-7

 

Christians seek God’s peace. When we have God’s peace we are not removed from having challenges or feeling pain. God’s peace is an extremely solid foundation that gives us a lasting assurance that God is with us and in us even if we are experiencing tribulations, feeling sorrow, and the tears are flowing.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, we trust that You are in control. We also trust that Your joy Lord will emerge and be far greater than any depth of suffering and agony we may be experiencing now. Help us God to overcome through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in us who are greater than he who is in the world. Jesus our faith rests in Your words;   “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

قد كلمتكم بهذا ليكون لكم فيّ سلام .في العالم سيكون لكم ضيق .ولكن ثقوا .انا قد غلبت العالم

John 16:33

 

Jesus loves you,     

In Him,
