1 JOHN 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
When I attended a revival in my previous church, God filled me with His Holy Spirit. Out of my soul came this beautiful song...in a different tongue, a heavenly language. And I saw this image in me:
I became a mountain that blew it's top, but instead of fire, out of me came music; rivers and streams of music flowed out of me and down the sides of this mountain. God is still filling me and bringing the music He placed within me out of me.
Lately, though, it feels more like trickles of music: bits and pieces of song. The music is in me, the lyrics are in me. The mountain appears to be silent, but deep within the music is building and a crescendo is on the rise --- within me.
How do I know this? I am The Lord's: He tells me I belong to Him, that what He is doing in me is for His glory and my benefit. Even now The Lord is with me and He whispers, "You belong to Me. I am your God and your Lord. I am your Shepherd, I will protect you; just stay near Me. I am your Father and you King. I comfort you in this place and I will return to bring you home with Me. You are Mine, too. More than all of nature and its beauty, which I created, you are Mine, too. I love you and I am right here with you in this resting place. Stay near Me. It's getting darker outside and the wolves are closing in. Stay near Me, for you belong to Me."
John 1:12, 13
But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
1 John 5:5
Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is The Son of God?
