Message Notes

1 John 4:1-6

1 John 4:1-3 “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”

DISCERN & TEST if God is the source of “WISDOM

Does this decision align with JESUS & His TEACHING?

1 John 4:4-6 “4 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. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”

TRUST in and REMIND yourself of VICTORY in Jesus

What is my RESPONSE to counsel from Jesus’ PERSPECTIVE?

Find Joy in Trials

Find Joy in Trials

The trials that you go through for doing the right thing, while obviously painful and challenging, can bring about PERSEVERANCE when we allow God to move and work in us. While no one feels happy about these circumstances, we can be JOYFUL. Joy isn’t defined by emotion, but is based on the truth of knowing that despite present circumstances, we still have VICTORY in Jesus!
