For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 7 NASB
🌹Holy God. You are deserving of praise and glory. My eyes are focused on Jesus, the truth, the way and the life. Jesus Christ who came in the flesh.
Thank You God for Your word, written concerning those who have gone out into the world and are trying to deceive Your own. These are the spirit of the antichrist, who are in the world today. God, I am grateful that I am from You, Your child, and have overcome them because You are greater in me than he who is in the world!! I pray You will protect Your own, Lord God, from the deceiver. In the name of Jesus, amen.

2 John 4-6
I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
2 John 4-6 NASB
God of abounding love who loves Your creation so much You command us to love, to experience true, pure love. I ask forgiveness for not loving as Jesus love(d)s. The old commandment is the word which we heard from the beginning and new each day. For this is the love of God, that we keep Your commandments and they are not burdensome. Love poured out on us for our good, our pleasure, our joy, our fulfillment in life to Your glory. Keeping Your word, the commandment to love is perfected in us. And in our obedience to love one another, we are a testimony to the world. How deprived we are when we don’t walk in Your commandments — we miss experiencing Your abounding love. I pray Lord that I will abide in Your word, so I will also abide in the Son and the Father and walk in truth. Glory to Your name for this gift of abounding love. Help me to share it in Jesus name, amen.
1 John 2:7/1 John 5:3/1 John 2:5/John 13:34-35/1 John 2:24 NASB
🌹Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John 1-3 NASB
Glorious, awesome God, how marvelous are Your ways. Your grace, mercy and peace are with me. God, Your desire is for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, to recognize that the truth is Jesus and He has set us free!!
Thank You for the fellowship of other believers who know the truth. I pray we are ready to remind one another of these things, even though we already know and have been established in the truth for the sake of the truth which abides in us, our Helper the Holy Spirit and He will be with us forever! FOREVER!!! Hallelujah, praise the Lord! Glory to Your Name. In Jesus’s name, amen.

1 John 5:20-21
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
1 John 5:20-21 NASB
And we know:
that the Son of God has come
he has given us understanding to know Him
that He is true
that we are in Him, the Son of God, Jesus Christ
that He hears us in whatever we ask,
that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
that no one who is born of God sins;
that we are of God.
1 John 5:15, 18-19
God of truth and eternal life, You are the only true God. This is eternal life, that we may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Jesus, who came from the Father, Son of God, we know because You, Lord God, have given understanding to those who believe that Jesus is true and we are in Him.
I pray asking forgiveness Lord of any idolatrous way in me. Help me to recognize and flee from the idolatry of this world that can so easily entangle. I choose to turn from idols to a living true God.
Lord I also pray You would open my mind to understand the Scriptures. I long to know You more, understand Your way, to follow in obedience to Your word. I am honored and privileged to be Your child. Thank You, Father, for my Advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Praise, Honor, Glory to the living true God, amen.

After the resurrection of Jesus the disciples met up with a man on the beach. . .
So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”

Jesus *said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord.

1 John 5:18-19
We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
1 John 5:18-19 NASB
Jesus, born of God, without sin, pure and holy; praise be unto Your name. You gave Yourself for my sin and rescued me from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. I pray Lord God to live a pure and undefiled religion in Your sight by keeping myself unstained by the world and in Your love, O God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of my Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. Father, thank You for Your perfect plan – Jesus, the seed who abides in me and keeps me from the evil one who cannot touch me. The whole world lies in the power of the evil one but we are kept in Jesus, protected from the evil one. Hallelujah to my Almighty God in whom I trust, amen.
Galatians 1:4/James 1:27/Jude 1:21 NASB

1 John 5:16-17
If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
1 John 5:16-17 NASB
Lord God, I offer up a prayer by faith for my brother/sister who is caught up in a sin. I pray You will restore him/her and forgive him/her. Lord, I know intercession on behalf of those who once were enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, blaspheming the Lord, You will not hear my prayer on their behalf. In the case of those who have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. God, I pray for Your extravagant love to be poured out on my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and keep us from falling away into blasphemous sin. Father, God I pray I will not neglect to pray for Your saints. Thank You Father for the offer of salvation through Your Son. Thank You, Jesus for Your sacrificial obedience on the cross and thanks be to the Holy Spirit who convicts and leads to salvation, forgiveness, and guidance to walk into eternity by faith through grace. To You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit be honor and glory forever, amen.

1 John 5:13-15
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence which we have before (toward) Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
1 John 5:13-15 NASB
🌹Faithful God of Your promised word. Thank You for Your Word. The Word made flesh and the written word that promises eternal life to all who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Believing, we may have life in His name today and forever.
I am confident, Lord Jesus, that coming before You with a clean heart, one that does not condemn me because I keep Your commandments and do what is pleasing in Your sight, I will receive whatever I ask for from You. With a clean heart my requests will be according to Your will and I am confident that You will hear and answer so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

1 John 5:12
He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:12 NASB.
Jesus, my glorious Lord and Savior; what wonderful things You have done for those who believe in You. Whoever believes in You has eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life“. God, thank You for sending Jesus, Your Son, into the world so that the world might be saved. For You did not send Your Son into the world to judge the world but to save it. To those who have received the testimony have set their seal to this, that God You are true. For Jesus, whom God, You sent, speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. Hallelujah to our faithful, truth bearing Savior, Jesus Christ in whose name I pray, glory to Your name, amen! John 3:15-17/John 3:33-35 NASB
🌹He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 NASB
Do you have the Life? Are you living the Life?
Non-believer:
-Is judged because they do not believe -Loves the darkness (sin) more than the Light. -Hates the Light so does evil and fears their deeds will be exposed in the Light of Jesus. -the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
Believer:
-Is not judged. -Practices the truth and comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God who gets the glory. – Is obedient to God and His word. -The one who believes in the Son has eternal life.

1 John 5:10-11
The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:10-11 NASB
God of all creation, Your plan is perfect. You created mankind and called them to love, trust and obey You. . . We failed and fell.
But God. You made a way for all mankind to reconcile this fallen relationship. You sent Jesus, Your Son. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
GOD, I pray for family near and far; for co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances to know that in Jesus is life, and this life is the Light of men. He who believes in Jesus is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Thank You God for Your Spirit who testifies with my spirit that I am a child of Yours. Guide my words as You give me opportunity to testify and proclaim eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— Jesus my Savior in whose name I pray, amen. 1 John 4:9/John 3:36/1 John 2:25/John 1:4/John 3:18/Romans 8:16/1 John 1:2 NASB

1 John 5:9
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. 1 John 5:9 NASB
Glory to the God of truth who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, — the way, the truth, and the life — and our Helper, the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth sent from the Father. The Spirit is the truth.
Jesus, Your very works testify about You, that the Father sent You. And the Father who sent You, has testified of You. “I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” God, You testify of Jesus and Your testimony is truth. In Your Holy Word You have given us true testimony of Your Son, our Savior. I pray we seek the truth of Scripture as it unfolds the life of Your Son to true understanding and knowledge of the great gift of life given through Jesus, our salvation. Thank You for Your Word, Lord God. Amen. Isaiah 65:16/John 14:6/John 15:26/John 15:26/John 5:36-37/John 8:18/John 5:32 NASB
But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. John 5:34
🌹You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. John 5:39-40 NASB
