But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

GREATER SPIRIT LIVING IN YOU
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you decided to commit to Christ
The Holy Spirit will live inside your heart
If you belong to God, then you have already won
It doesn’t matter what the world’s spirit has sown
The Lord is greater than he who is in the world
Use the sword of the Spirit which is God’s word
Declare it out loud to stop the lies from coming
The devil will cower if you are constantly confessing. ________________________________________
There are so many myths about Satan that the movies have spread to the public that are really lies. The film industry sensationalizes how much power the enemy has but in reality, they have very little power. Once a person becomes a believer, the Holy Spirit dwells in them, so the enemy’s ability to attack us is very limited. The only way he can defeat us is when we turn our backs to God through sin and do not have a relationship with him.
The bible says that if you are a believer, you have already won the victory and nothing can ever defeat you. The Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 (NLT)
THE TRUE BELIEVER
A poem and essay by ILMA
A true believer is someone who abides in Christ
He serves only one true God and he lives in the light
He is hungry to know Jesus and follow his ways
He reveres the Lord and is not easily tempted or swayed.
A true disciple remains faithful to Christ’s teachings
He never doubts or waivers; he focuses on praising
He seeks the truth so he is never corrupted by the world
He is wise because he constantly feed on God’s word.

Christianity is ranked the largest religion in the world today. According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in 2010 there were 2.18 billion Christians around the world, nearly a third of the global population. How much of these Christian population are true believers?
I have been a believer for five decades, but I couldn’t claim I was a true disciple during these years. I came from a religion that didn’t really instill a hunger for God’s word. It taught me to just follow rules. God set me free and showed me what a true believer is. The bible says that if you remain faithful to the truth and his teachings, then you are a true disciple.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a heart that will seek you and serve you only.
REFLECTION
How can one be a true disciple in this corrupted world?
