How To Recognize The Spirit Of God
3 while all inspiration that does not acknowledge Jesus is not inspiration from God. It is the inspiration of the Anti-Christ; you have heard that it was to come, and it is now already in the world. 4 You, my Children, come from God, and you have successfully resisted such men as these, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 Those men belong to the world; and therefore they speak as the world speaks, and the world listens to them.
