1 John 4:4 "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."
Hallelujah, what a Savior! I love You, Lord and I love Your word that reveals Your precious promises. I have been redeemed, restored, made whiter than snow because of Your precious blood shed on my behalf. You have paid the price for my sin debt and have satisfied the Father's judgment on me. I can never thank You enough for that.
I can start to believe Satan's lies if I am not wholly focused on You. He wants me to believe that I am not a new creature, not forgiven, not restored, and am powerless against him. He wants me to hang onto the sins of my past and fill me with false guilt, shame, and even despair so I am not of use in Your Family or as a witness to the unsaved world. He is a liar and the father of lies and in truth has absolutely no power over me unless I invite it.
The truth is that You are the all powerful, great, and almighty God filled with majesty, honor, truth, love, and glory. You created all that is and yet You love me, a fallen vile sinner, forgave me and made me Your child. Then You filled me with Your Holy Spirit so I can do all things in Your purpose for me through You because You give me the strength to accomplish them for Your glory. Only in Your power have I overcome the false teachers I have heard who have tried to deceive me. Thank You, Lord! I bless You and Your holy name!
