"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).

There's a misconception of the meaning of the phrase, "Ye are of God" in the verse above. To some, it means "to be on God's side," but that's not correct. The Apostle John's construction isn't in any way ambiguous, so it isn't about being on anyone's side. It simply means you hail from Deity. In other words, your origin is in God; you're His offspring.

It's akin to what the Bible says in James 1:18; it says, "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." To hail from God, therefore, Christ must be in you; you must receive Him to live in you.

Recall the words of the Lord Jesus in John 3:3, "..Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." The concluding phrase of our opening verse gives credence to this; it says, "..greater is He that is in you"; so, He has to be in you. Think about it: He gave birth to you to live in you!

The Bible says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossian 1:27). You have absolute victory over all forces of darkness and the wicked spirits that orchestrate evil because of the greater One that lives in you.

Read how beautifully the AMPC renders our opening verse: "Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world." Praise God!

You have overcome the adversary and their nefarious and sinister plans to cause untold hardship, troubles, sorrows, distresses and corrupting influences in the world because you hail from Deity! Hallelujah!

Confession
Dear Father, I boldly proclaim that I have overcome all the forces of darkness and wicked spirits that orchestrate evil plans in the world because I hail from God, and the greater One lives in me. I have overcome the sorrows, distresses and corrupting influences in the world. I'm victorious always in Christ Jesus, Amen.
