In January our church held its annual congregational fast. For 21 days we prayed together, fasted together and meditated on 1 John . Here are my thoughts from those times of devotion in 1 John.

I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. ²⁷ As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

God’s Children and Sin

²⁸ And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. 1 John 2:26-29

MEDITATIONAL THOUGHT:The anointing you received from Him (the Holy Spirit) teaches you all things and is real.

MY THOUGHTS: It is stunning to realize that we have access to the God of all knowledge. Not just access…He lives inside of those who believe in Jesus Christ. We are the temples of he Holy Spirit.

It is also stunning to realize, He wants to share information with us, as we pray. Now we don;t have he capacity to handle all his knowledge, but we do have the capacity to handle all the knowledge we need.We just have to spend time seeking Him and allowing Him to direct us to the answers He wants us to discover.
