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. 1 John 4:4 NIV
Who are we? We are the children of Our Father, this is our identity, and he knows us intimately. He knew us before we were created, knows us by name, and even the number of hairs on our heads.
By the Holy Spirit, we are given the power to overcome the spirit of the antichrist. All those things that oppose God's love, mercy, justice, and holiness. But, because we are His, we have confidence that we will triumph over anything we face. God is far greater than Satan and any evil he can throw against us.
Merciful and compassionate God, you have made us and claimed us as yours, and we give you thanks. As we face the temptations and trials of each day, help us recall who we are and the depths of your love. Through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, Almighty Father give us the strength to prevail. Amen.
Shalom,
Pastor Tim
