Theme For The Month:                   Abide in God's Love

2

 18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life. 26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

Five Minute Sermon - 1 John 2

 John 8:32 "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."  

This is a critical time when you must get to the root of oppression and affliction, and make a careful examination of  how you opened the door to allow the enemy to have access to your soul.  Search diligently, and you will find that you believed a lie.  Satan himself comes as an angel of light, but he is a liar and the father of lies.  Close that door through your disagreement with his devices and lies, and replace that lie with the truth of the Word.  Do not allow the lies to stand as a witness against you.
