You dear children are from God and have overcome them (spirits of Antichrist), because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1John 4:4-6
God's ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts purer than our thoughts.
I say this not to put us down but to encourage us to believe that God sees a much bigger view than us and He sees through rose coloured glasses
( the blood of Christ).
I may be feeling anxious about now but He sees how I trust Him and do it anyway. I may be feeling a failure but He sees how I took His promises and built a business to show what God can do in a chickie who dared to believe. (by the way I don't feel like a failure- He has sorted that out in me)
So no matter what the world makes me feel, and it does, it is wrong. I have to go to what the word says and it tells me what I am in Christ.
By the way did you realize both words: world and word are spelt the same except for the 'L' in world, which stands for 'lie'!
Keep your eyes on Him and His word, train yourself in Him and His word and watch the 'l' disappear. Amen!
