How To Recognize The Spirit Of God

3 and every spirit which confesses him not, is not from God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and that now it is already in the world. 4 My little children, you are of God and have conquered them; because he that is within you is greater than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world, and for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.
