the light, we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. Now, we've come to
a wonderful place for a delicious
morsel. Get your spiritual mouth
ready. Look at 1 John 2:9-10:
9 He that saith he is in the light,
and hateth his brother, is in darkness
even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth
in the light, and there is none occasion
of stumbling in him.
Wait a minute! That's not all. Chapter
5:18 says, "Whosoever is born of
LOVE sinneth not; but he that is [born]
of LOVE keepeth himself, and that
wicked one toucheth him NOT"! Now
let's read that from the Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition, still substituting
the word LOVE for GOD:
18 We know [absolutely] that anyone
born of [Love] does not [deliberately
and knowingly] practice committing
sin, but the One Who was begotten of
[Love] carefully watches over and
protects him [Christ's divine presence
within him preserves him against the
evil], and the wicked one does not lay
hold (get a grip) on him or touch [him].
Now, tell the devil: "You don't touch
me! I walk in, and keep, the
commandment of LOVE! I am a
COVENANT MAN! I am a COVENANT
WOMAN! THE ALMIGHTY GOD—EL
SHADDAI GOD, the GOD who is more
than enough, just happens to be my
FATHER who is LOVE Himself. Not
only that, devil, JESUS—EL SHADDAI
in the flesh—is my blood Brother!
Now, GIT! I just happen to know and
believe James 4:7, which says:
'Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you.'"
Now get hold of that verse from the
AMPC:
7 So be subject to God. Resist the
devil [stand firm against him], and he
will flee from you.
Oh, but that's not all! Verse 8 says to
come close to God [LOVE] and HE will
come close to you! My brother and
sister, it just doesn't get any better
than that. Lay hold on God's WORD,
especially in the midst of trials and
difficult situations. Like Abraham of
old, begin calling things that be not as
though they were. For instance:
