Text: I John 4.1-9
John opens with two commands
1. Believe not ever Spirit.
2. Try the spirits
Why? - Because there are false spirits.
These spirits are antichrist.
In Christ is life and these spirits pull us from life.
This doesn’t have to be confusing to us.
Any Spirit that claims Jesus born, crucified, resurrected - write them off.
Throw them out, rebuke them move on.
You don’t have to be ugly to people, but see it as what it is demonic activity that it is.
(vs 3)
Please note these religious ideas will appear to be Christian in nature but will point away from Christ.
Two sides
Ye are of God........................They are of the World
This is not the first time John brought this up.
In fact there are four people mentioned the people that make up the church.
1. Abandoners.
vs 5
These are those that leave the faith of Jesus Christ.
note: this is not talking about those that have left your church.
But we ought to be serious about our relationship to our church.
This is specifically speaking about those that have walked away from the faith of Jesus Christ.
2. Little Children (4)
These Children are identified by...
Belonging
Filled
Forgiven
Knowing the Father
They are in a position of helpless adoration.
They are empty of self and dependent on Him.
3. Young Men
These are described as OVERCOMERS
They’ve won some battles.
They are like the hunting dogs you have to put away before they ruin a hunt.
They have the taste of blood in their mouth and they like it.
They are...
Strong
Know Scripture
Love not the World
Love God
4. Fathers
The last three have a general promise that they can lean on...
The Promise of Enlightenment
So the question comes...
How do we continue in our growth and not abandon the faith?
LOVE NOT THE WORLD
Lust of the flesh
Lust of the eyes
Pride of life
Yall think that God is playing in these verses.
Satan is playing for your heart.
He is using Temptation
He is using the False teacher
“the prize of the heart is fought on the battlefield of the mind.”
This is why your faith is so crucial.
We have bought the lie that we need to trim our appetites and find them satisfied in Jesus.
Scripture says empty yourself of these things remove them don’t try to make them reformed.
let his word abide in you… Let his Spirit enlighten you to his book…Call on him in prayer… Participate in the Worship of one who is greater than you.
Why so that you might empty yourself of the thing that is fighting for your soul.
LOVE GOD (7-8)
