The things that are happening in this world are often troubling and behind these troubling things is the master of trouble, the prince of this world, or Satan. But we have the comfort that the One living in us is greater than He that is in the world.
Who is this One living in us that is so great? Jesus Himself answers this question in John 14:16-23, “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
The Spirit of truth is the One who lives inside of us. He will be in us. He is the witness to our hearts that Jesus lives and that we belong to Him. If we love Jesus, we will be loved of the Father. Jesus will love us to and manifest Himself to us. We know that we love Jesus if we keep His word. Jesus makes His abode with us. There is no greater power than Jesus. There is no greater power than the Spirit of truth. There is no greater power than the Father. “Thank You, God, that you sent your Spirit to live inside of us. He is greater than the devil. He is greater than all the evil that goes on in the world. He is greater than evil and scary things, like this Corona Virus. We trust in You and ask that You do Your mighty work to control this virus. And we rest on You for the answer. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
