1st John 4:6. “We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” HEREBY KNOW. Close your eyes before you eat and give to God your thanks, See how many people nod and smile, and how many think “fanatics.” Take the time to read some scripture before you start your day, Watch to see if others do or if they casually go away.
Sing a verse of a hymn quietly, just loud enough to hear the tune, Those who recognize it will often come and say to you, “I remember that song back in Sunday School, Where I learned Bible stories and also the Golden Rule.”
Their interest is perked up and they want to stop and talk, Because sometimes people find it hard to really walk the walk. They know what is true and have received the Holy Spirit of Truth, But they have found it hard to live without the help of others’ strength.
Grace has been experienced by every true born child – But often when they’re left alone, they get a little wild, And need the voice of a believer to give them help to stand – It is a privilege of all of us to giving them a helping hand.
There is something unexplainable that links Christians to each other. There is an unseen intuition that tells me he is my brother. The Spirit of truth is a living Person that is alive in me, And gives the connection that’s needed when a child of God I see.
The faith of some is stronger than that of other folks, But where faith is, that generates an awareness of the truth. One not born of God can’t tell the difference between truth and error, Those who are born of God have the same Spirit that they share.
“It is not always that I can tell Father God, those that are genuine believers, but usually there is that unexplained evidence that comes out in the tone of voice or the way people react when the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is mentioned. Love for Christ cannot really be hidden. Some way it will show itself. I thank Thee and praise Thee that I know Him. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
