1 John 4:2-6
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Perspective- a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.
In the picture below, is the beach ball going up or coming back down? You can’t tell can you? It is like asking if a cup is half full or half empty. It all depends on your perspective. Satan has his perspective. He tries to to persuade you to see the world from his point of view. We are not of this world. We are children of God and see the world from God’s point of view. That is why we speak from faith, love, hope, and grace. Others don’t hear us and often twist our words. It doesn’t mean we stop speaking. It means we start listening to God. We know the truth and it is about time we stopped listening to Satan’s lies! We don’t have to accept his perspective.
