‘We Are Of God.’
1 John 4:1-6.
a) 1 John 4:1. So we do not believe every spirit, we put the spirits to the test to see if they are from God.
b) 1 John 4:1. Many false prophets have gone out into the World.
c) 1 John 4:2. How can we recognise the Spirit of God? Every spirit that agrees that Jesus Christ came in a human body belongs to God.
d) 1 John 4:3. The spirit of Antichrist which is in the World system now refuses to recognise that Jesus Christ came in a human body.
e) 1 John 4:4. Because we are of God we do not accept the teachings of false prophets. The One Who is within us is more powerful than the one who is in the World system.
f) 1 John 4:5. False prophets:-
1-Are of the World system.
2-Talk World system talk.
3-The World system listens to them.
g) 1 John 4:6. We can tell the difference between the Spirit of God and the spirit of lies because we belong to God and those people who know God listen to us. Those people who do not belong to God do not listen to us.
h) 1 John 4:15. Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.
(Through this Second one I thank God that I Am Of God)

The Lord gives Light to the eyes of poor people. This Scripture makes me think of and pray for those people involved in different forms of medical mercy missions. There are now some mobile hospitals that through simple surgical routines can give sight to blind people. There are, of course, many other types of medical missions that are doing wonderful works. The least we can do is to pray for these missions.
