Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4
Take it to heart. Those who confess Jesus as our savior have a power beyond what we could imagine. It’s the power of Jesus within us and surrendering to Him to cause His power to take over. You will get nowhere if you continue in your own strength. Stop striving.
From these same scriptures, we are called to test all the spirits and those who do not confess Jesus came in the flesh, is not of God, and is an antichrist. Are these words they cannot utter? Or is it that they are insincere? I know that certain cults use the name of Jesus, but they know a different Jesus than we do and call him the brother of Satan. They use His name, but it is powerless in their hands. Maybe it’s because they don’t believe He came as God in the flesh. Whatever the case, we need a certain amount of discernment, which comes through the Holy Spirit, to test the other spirits that have gone out into this world. How do we discern who the antichrist is? Deny your flesh and allow Jesus to take over. His power will be made perfect in your weakness.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:3
