“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:

because greater is He that is in you,

than he that is in the world.”

1 John 4:4 KJV

 

Christ and His Holy Spirit dwells in the believer.  The verse in 1 John 4:4 has always been such a powerful one for me.  It really brings such peace and joy to understand the full message in which it states.

We are children of the mighty Sovereign God!  

We are children of a King!

Sometimes it truly blows me away to think that I…a mere mortal who falls short, as most of us do…belongs to royalty!

But, then not only are we heirs to a King…we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within, and this Great One is Greater than the one in the world today.

God sent us the comforter and through Christ we can harness the power to thwart any evil that comes our way.  It’s sort of like having “feathers” akin to a duckling.   The water seemingly rolls off its back and doesn’t stay on the feathers.  So too is the faithful followers who have the Holy Spirit in them, the “worldly” actions and darts will bounce and roll off of God’s children.

Our weapons of defense…(Gospel Armor) and the presence of the Holy Spirit will shield us, and lead us out of temptation and deliver us from evil.

Trust in Him.

Love Him.

Follow Him.

Let Him hold your hand and guide you.

Understand that by being a believer, and placing our entire heart in His hands, we are being cared for by Royalty of the Highest, and most purest form…and loved by a King.

Here’s my hand LORD!

 

“Father how thankful we are to be protected and guided by You and Your hands of grace, thank You for Your love, and for Your promises, in Jesus name, Amen.”
