Nobody can see God’s face in this life and continue living. This is speaking of the Father, for He is Spirit.
1 John 4:1 (KJV)
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
False prophets speak by way of evil spirits, not by way of God. You can know this by way of the Holy Spirit in us.
1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And 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.
Our feelings can’t always be trusted. However, we can know if it is of God if what we are doing is in line with His perfect will.
1 John 4:15-17 (KJV)
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
When to comes to love, John said, “we love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) And because He loves us, the greatest joy of all is able to enter our lives and then change our outlook on life and things.
Lord, Your ways are amazing and I cannot stop learning from Your Words in the Bible. You have taught me so much over these last few years and my mind has been officially blown by what I have found and learned.
When God’s love comes into our lives, our desires are flipped upside down. Instead of wanting so much, we instead give what we can.
When I think of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My heart is filled with gratitude for everything the Lord has done.
Do not be deceived into following any teaching from a seducing spirit. Trust in God and read the Bible that you may not be led astray.
If we are to believe that we know God personally, then we are also living in His will. There is a conviction “that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”
My soul rejoiceth, for I am no longer dead but alive in Christ the Lord. I give Him all my praise and worship for I am saved.
As Chris and I decided to go out in faith and share the love of Jesus, doors opened up to us very quickly. Each person we asked to pray over, accepted prayer.
I cannot contain the love I have for Jesus. He has truly taught me how to love my neighbor. He took my pride and turned it into love for one another.
Thank You Jesus for shining Your glorious light in my life. When I think of You, Your love abounds in my heart.
