1 John 3:9-10

Sep6

No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone (everyone) who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:9‭-‬10 NASB

Holy God, thank You for the life I now live,  born of You. Born again, not of blood nor by the will of the flesh nor the will of man but by Your glorious will, God. I praise You for giving me the gift of seeing Your kingdom O God!!!
By Your righteousness in me I am able to practice righteousness confirming I am born of You my God. What joy, contentment, and peace I have knowing I am Your child. Hallelujah,  I am a child of God through belief in Jesus Christ my Savior and the ability to practice righteousness in my life. Holy Spirit testify with my spirit that I am a child of God so I will never be led or lead others astray to the ways of the devil.
And I pray God that I will walk and live in Your Light loving my fellow brothers and sisters and encourage them to practice righteousness and not be deceived by walking in the darkness of the devil, by not loving our brothers and sisters. What great love You have bestowed upon us O God, calling us Your children. May we honor you by living for your glory, amen.
John 1:13/John 3:3/John 1:12/1 John 2:29/Romans 8:16/1 John 3:1‭-‬2 NASB

🌹The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now.

1 John 3:7-8

Sep5

Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:7‭-‬8 NASB

🌹Hallelujah to the Son of God who was tempted by the deceiver, conquered sin, and brought righteousness to those who put their faith in You.
Jesus, You came to destroy the works of the devil. May I not be deceived, having discernment to recognize the one who practices righteousness vs the one who practices sin. Judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out!! The ruler of this world has been judged!!
Jesus, You are the victory!! I know that You are righteous Jesus and I will practice righteousness because I am born of You.
Jesus, thank You for sowing good seed in me.
God I pray You bestow upon me the courage, boldness and perseverance to sow the good seed — Jesus, the Son of Man — in the world, as Your kingdom daughter. Glory, honor and victory to Jesus, my Savior. Amen.

1 John 3:4-6

Sep1

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
1 John 3:4‭-‬6 NASB

🌹Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus, You are the propitiation for my sin but not mine alone but for those of the whole world. I have been redeemed with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of my Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You, God, for Your law because through it I was made aware of my sin. Sin is lawlessness that brings about wrath. I thank You God for sending Jesus, who knew no sin to be sin on my behalf, that I could become Your righteousness in Jesus. How can I possibly thank You enough for this precious gift bestowed upon me except to practice righteousness in Jesus through Whom I am born again?! I will abide in You and not sin because I am covered in the blood, knowing You and keeping Your commandments and will do good for Your name sake. All praise, honor, and glory to Your name,  in whom I pray.  Amen.

1 John 3:2-3

Aug31

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 John 3:2‭-‬3 NASB

🌹God of my eternal destiny. As Your child, who has been set free from the law through Your sacrifice Jesus, I now walk according to the Spirit who fulfills the law in me. I no longer walk according to the flesh but in the Spirit who abides in me. My body is dead because of sin but my spirit is alive because of righteousness. Your righteousness Jesus. Though I do not fully understand this I fix my hope on You, Jesus. For my sake You sanctified Yourself, that I also may be sanctified in truth.
Therefore, through my love for my Savior and by the power of His Spirit, having these promises, I will cleanse myself from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear and reverence of You, my holy God. Amen.

See how great a love (what kind of love) the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1 NASB

🌹God, what an honor it is to be called Your child. How great Your love for me Father that You gave Your only begotten Son. This love given, not because I loved You, God, but because You loved me and sent Jesus to be the propitiation for my sin. It was nothing I did but what You have done, Father. And the blessing to know that I will not perish but have eternal life and have received Jesus making me Your child!! What greater blessing could I ask? And added to this is the assurance of the Holy Spirit who testifies with my spirit that I am Your child. Praise and glory to Your name my Abba Father. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

1 John 2:28-29

Aug29

Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away (be put to shame before Him) from Him in shame at His (presence) coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born (begotten) of Him. 1 John 2:28‭-‬29 NASB

🌹Holy, holy, holy are You, Lord God, my righteousness, my confidence. Abide in me, Jesus.You are my life and on that day when You appear and my faith is made sight may I be bold and confident, not shrinking away in shame when I am revealed with You in glory. For whoever is ashamed of You and Your words in this adulterous and sinful generation, You, Son of Man, will also be ashamed of them when You come in the glory of Your Father with the holy angels.”

Father, forgive me for wanting to speak from myself, seeking my own glory. I pray I will seek Your glory, the One who sent Jesus, for He is truth, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. I stand bold in Your name Lord God, knowing I was born again, not of blood nor the will of flesh, nor the will of man, but of You, God. And because of this I will see Your kingdom O God and bow in praise before Your Almighty throne of victory! To Your righteousness and glory I pray in Jesus name, amen. Colossians 3:4/Ephesians 3:12/Mark 8:38/John 7:18/John 1:13/John 3:3 NASB

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
1 John 2:26‭-‬27 NASB

God, You have not left Your people without discernment, direction, or truth revealed. Father You sent Jesus, Your Son, to make this possible in our life. When Jesus ascended He asked on our behalf to give us a Helper, the Holy Spirit, to be with us forever!! How blessed to have an anointing from the Holy One who lives in us and whom we know. Praise You God for the confidence, security and peace my soul knows because You abide in me and I in you. Holy Spirit, teach me all things and bring to remembrance from Your Holy Word all I have read and studied so I will always abide in You. God, may I know the things You have freely given through Your Spirit. Thank You God for letting me know You and the many blessings that have come by You. I give my life to honor You, my God, by the life You have freely given me. In the glorious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

This is the promise which He Himself made to us (promised to us): eternal life.
1 John 2:25 NASB

God of promises never broken. When You make promises, You keep them. Your will, Father, is that everyone who beholds Your Son and believes in Him will have eternal life. You have promised that You Yourself will raise them up on the last day so that whoever believes will in Jesus has eternal life. Thank You for the hope I have through Jesus for eternity with my awesome God to Your praise and glory and my anticipation of Your promise fulfilled. In Jesus name hallelujah and amen!

1 John 2:21-24

Aug24

I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because (know that) no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah)? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
1 John 2:21‭-‬24 NASB

King Jesus, You entered into the world to testify to the truth. The truth from the very beginning. Thank You, Jesus, for the truth that resides in me enabling me to hear Your voice.  You stated, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice”. I trust Your truth.
Help me Lord to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.
Thank You God for the truth that has been established in me and is present with me. Through the Holy Spirit of truth residing in me I have fellowship with other believers; and indeed my fellowship is with You Father, and with Your Son Jesus Christ! I love You Jesus and will keep Your word so that the Father and You will love me and come make Your  abode in me. I ask for discernment to recognize the antichrist, remembering the antichrist denies both You Father and Jesus. I praise You for the privilege and honor to know You Jesus and the Father through the Holy Spirit; Three in One.  Glory to my God who has made Himself known to me. In this I rejoice. Amen.
John 18:37/James 1:19/2 Peter 1:12/1 John 1:3/John 14:23/John 8:19 NASB

🌹This is the antichrist
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
1 John 4:3 NASB

🌹This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Aug23

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
1 John 2:18‭-‬20 NASB

🌹Savior, the One who loves my soul, prepare me by Your power with sound judgement and a sober spirit for the purpose of prayer because the end of all things is near.
Burden my heart for Your church. The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, for many will come in Your name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
Lord God, evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek You understand all things. I pray that Your church, knowing the time, that it will awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. God bless Your children who have been anointed from the Holy One, and know Jesus. Thank You, Father, for Your Holy Spirit, our Helper, who will teach us all things, and bring to our remembrance all that Jesus said. Bless Your church I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
