The Greater One is within you

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"                                                                                       1 John 4:4   NKJV

There are many false prophets in this world who appear genuine but do not give the glory to Jesus Christ. Here John is saying, that if Jesus Christ is not the central part of their teaching or discussions; if they do not give Him the deity, then they are false prophets and are there to lead us astray if we allow them to. 

We have the Spirit of God dwelling in us who will guide us every inch of the way, if we remain in tune with Him. We need to study the Word and live it every day. We will then be able to discern what is of God and what isn't.

Have you ever stopped and considered that the Creator of mankind dwells within you? Many powerful people  who we meet each day, may have more human power and authority than we have - outwardly. However, inwardly, we have the Holy Spirit who was hovering over the face of the waters prior to creation (Genesis 1:1-2). We have Jesus Christ who was with God and was God in the beginning (John 1:1-5). And we have the Creator - God Our Father. Together, this is the Trinity; three divine Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each fully God. The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Creator. The Son is the 'Logos - the Word,' the expression of God. Jesus is both the agent of creation and mankind's only Redeemer. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity who proceeds from the Father and is worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son. All three Persons of the Godhead are Eternal. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Sourced from The Spirit Filled Life Bible)

And they dwell within us! Isn't that amazing? We need to get a full realisation of this fact. We read it but we need to fully realise it and flow in this knowledge and truth. There is no mountain or problem that can stand in our way as long as we walk with them. They're all one, so we can say we walk with God, with Jesus or we walk in the Spirit. There's no difference; they're all within us and we need never feel weak, frightened or alone again. Philippians 4:13 says, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

We walk in the Blessing. We walk in Favour. We walk in Righteousness through Jesus Christ. We really are loved and cherished and destined to spend eternity in Heaven one day. Until then, we have have an exciting walk ahead of us, each and every day. We have a mission to fulfil; a calling that no one else has. God has chosen you because you are so special!
