‘We Should Not Love The World System.’
1 John 2:15-17.
a) 1 John 2:15. We should not love the World system or the things of the World system.
a) 1 John 2:15. If any person loves the World system then the Love of the Father God is not in them.
b) 1 John 2:16. The World system is not from Father God, it comes from itself and is:-
1- The desires of the flesh.
2- The desires of the eyes.
3- The pride of possessions.
4- The cravings of sinful people.
5- The pride of our achievements.
c) 1 John 2:17. The World system is passing away along with its desires.
d) 1 John 2:17. The person who does the Will of God abides forever.
(This QT reminds me that I Should Not Love The World System)

‘The Deceiver And Accuser Are Now Overcome.’
Revelation 12:9-11.
a) Revelation 12:9. The great dragon who is named the Devil and Satan is thrown down.
b) Revelation 12:9. He is the deceiver of the whole World and is thrown down to the Earth with all of his angels. (There is no place for him in Heaven)
c) Revelation 12:10. A loud voice in Heaven spoke:-
1- Now Salvation has come.
2- Now Victory has come.
3- Now Power has come.
4- Now the Kingdom of our God has come.
5- Now the Authority of Christ has come.
d) Revelation 12:10. The accuser of the brothers (God’s People) has been thrown down. The accuser accused them day and night before our God.
e) Revelation 12:11. The accuser is conquered by:-
1- The Blood of the Lamb.
2- The Word of God’s People’s Testimony.
3- God’s People not loving their own lives, even unto death.
(This Second one greatly encourages me: The Deceiver And Accuser Are Now Overcome)

Chris.
Power has come to the Church and to the individual Believer when they realise that the deceiver of the whole World is defeated and thrown out of Heaven. True Believers should not be deceived. We can and should be endued with Power from on High and be living and speaking witnesses for Jesus Christ.
