How To Recognize The Spirit Of God

3 and any inspired utterance that does not acknowledge Jesus does not come from God; it is the inspiration of the Antichrist. You have heard that it was coming, and here it is already in the world. 4 You are children of God, dear children, and you have been victorious over these men, for he who is in our hearts is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are children of the world; that is why they speak as the world directs, and the world listens to them.
