1st John 4:3. “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that is should come; and even now is it in the world.” SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST. It is not new these days, it started long ago, A deliberate attempt was made so people would not know The necessity of Jesus Christ being human from His birth, And that He came to bring salvation here to earth.
The facts are clear to those who read and believe the Bible true; Others seem to think their ideas right and bring up something new. Evidence is in, with witnesses to say; Jesus Christ is God, And those who believe Him truly, are those who call Him Lord.
But counterfeits have been springing up since back in Bible times, They have made far-out explanations that come from mixed up minds. Some will say it’s all a hoax, Jesus Christ never existed; Others say He was just another prophet and list Him with the mystics.
Still others say He was just a man but He had some real good teachings, And still more try to say He was a prophet committed to His preaching. Denying Jesus Christ is God is like saying there is no sun above, Because the clouds obscure its rays so sunlight we do not have. There is a lot of spit and dust the devil throws in people’s eyes, As he goes about deceiving folks and telling them his lies. The spirit of antichrist comes right from the pit of hell, And it rampages through the world trying to get Christians not to tell Of the grace of God that came down to earth in the Person of His Son, Whose willingness to become a man-made redemption to be won By the cross-death Jesus died when He suffered in our place, So, we who were enemies of God would through Jesus see His face.
The antichrist spirit that is roaming through earth and finding many hearers, Has made the false stand out from the true who are now visible witness bearers. There is no doubt there has been on earth down through the past generations, The spirit of antichrist is all over the world and it is affecting many nations.
It is not possible that we can stop that evil spirit from reproducing, But as Bible-believing Christians we can influence others by them loving. The spirit of antichrist is hard, there is no joy, no enduring satisfaction; We are able to proclaim what’s true and tell of life that’s everlasting.
“Father God, in this city where the Gospel was once a mighty power and lives were changed when people repented and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, things have changed. Money, pleasure, ambition and a host of other distractions have allowed the spirit of antichrist to affect people. The morals are changed, the beliefs are changed, the integrity has changed and it seems like people are getting farther and farther away from any place of hope. I did read about Gideon today and his time seemed like this time. If it is possible to go in the might of the Lord and reach people for Thy kingdom, gives us courage and power to do it. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
