“They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.” 1 John 4:5 Well I must say, this was an interesting verse to write on! 🙂 The best thing I did was to take a look at how it fits into the whole message of 1 John. I highly recommend...

“Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.” 1 John 4:2 God’s Word makes it clear that Jesus came to Earth to show God’s love. He did this by eternally saving us from sin & being the Perfect...

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 This verse is critical for us to consider because in the day we are living in there are so many false prophets all...

“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:” – Isaiah 40:30 I have learned SO MUCH about who God is just in this chapter. Verse 28 especially describes the power, endurance, and energy of our Creator. This all sounds so good and it...
