Good morning to all, a little spiritual food for thought, Breakfast to eat with the food that spoils. Goes in one end and out the other. Prayerfully the Spirit food will not go in one ear and out the other, as the physical food does go in the mouth into the belly and out the other end, and does have the ability to keep the nutrients, and get rid of the trash, so I think as we hear, we might want to let it hang around for God the Father to discern it in us, and toss out the trash, trusting Father to do this through us you think?
1 John 2:14-29
Living Bible (TLB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And so I say to you fathers who know the eternal God, and to you young men who are strong with God’s Word in your hearts, and have won your struggle against Satan: [SUP]15 [/SUP]Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God; [SUP]16 [/SUP]for all these worldly things, these evil desires—the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you, and the pride that comes from wealth and importance—these are not from God. They are from this evil world itself. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it, but whoever keeps doing the will of God will live forever.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Dear children, this world’s last hour has come. You have heard about the Antichrist who is coming—the one who is against Christ—and already many such persons have appeared. This makes us all the more certain that the end of the world is near. [SUP]19 [/SUP]These “against-Christ” people used to be members of our churches, but they never really belonged with us or else they would have stayed. When they left us it proved that they were not of us at all.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you know the truth. [SUP]21 [/SUP]So I am not writing to you as to those who need to know the truth, but I warn you as those who can discern the difference between true and false.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And who is the greatest liar? The one who says that Jesus is not Christ. Such a person is antichrist, for he does not believe in God the Father and in his Son. [SUP]23 [/SUP]For a person who doesn’t believe in Christ, God’s Son, can’t have God the Father either. But he who has Christ, God’s Son, has God the Father also.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]So keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will always be in close fellowship with both God the Father and his Son. [SUP]25 [/SUP]And he himself has promised us this: eternal life.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]These remarks of mine about the Antichrist are pointed at those who would dearly love to blindfold you and lead you astray. [SUP]27 [/SUP]But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, in your hearts, so that you don’t need anyone to teach you what is right. For he teaches you all things, and he is the Truth, and no liar; and so, just as he has said, you must live in Christ, never to depart from him.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And now, my little children, stay in happy fellowship with the Lord so that when he comes you will be sure that all is well and will not have to be ashamed and shrink back from meeting him. [SUP]29 [/SUP]Since we know that God is always good and does only right, we may rightly assume that all those who do right are his children.
