servant for Christ Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 The Spirit of God dwells in us and that Spirit is more mighty than men of devils. It is a great happiness to be under the influence of the Holy Spirit. We have overcome because our strength lives in the fact that we are born of God. Through the Holy Spirit we can overcome the evil in the world, including sin, Satan, trials, temptation, sorrow, persecution, and false teaching. We can victoriously achieve God's will for our lives. We should have no fear in our lives because the Holy Spirit is our Protector, He is love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquie7 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 The One who is in us is the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of God who is greater than anyone and everything. We have overcome them because Jesus has conquered evil, death, and the grave. He already won the battle and has victory over evil in this world. He will eventually come back and put an end to Satan. We are strong in Jesus because He is stronger than the world and His Spirit and Word lives in us and in our hearts and we have nothing to fear.

Craig Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Q2. (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? In what sense have we overcome them? In what way will we overcome them in the future? How should this truth affect fear in our lives? The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit within the believer is greater than Satan and the false prophets. In letting the Holy Spirit influence our thinking and actions we overcome the practices of this world. Utlimately overcoming the things of this world will lead to spending eternity with Jesus. If God is for us who can be against us. Peter advised the church to cast their worries and fear upon God because He cares about us. The fact is Jesus said not to fear anything, but put our trust in God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Jim Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Q2. (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? The Holy Spirit, the very Spirit of God Himself!! In what sense have we overcome them? We share in Christ's baptism and we share in His victory as well, not in our own strength but by relying on God's strength. In what way will we overcome them in the future? If we abide in Him, He will abide in us. Victory is assured! When Christ comes again we will be united with Him and share in the final victory as well. How should this truth affect fear in our lives? We were not given a spirit of fear but of Power. Nothing to fear except fear itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The thing that is us that is greater than false prophets and even Satan is the Holy Spirit. God’s spirit is stronger than anything that we can obtain. The way that we can overcome Satan and all the false prophets is be going to God and asking for his help. This knowledge should remove all fear and we can live our lives knowing that God is going to take care of all these things for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgandy Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Jesus Christ is within us and is much greater than any false prophet or Satan. By virtue of the fact that Jesus resides in our hearts we have overcome. Our Messiah is much greater than any false prophet or Satan. We have overcome with him and he is always with us. Whenever I am afraid I call on His name. He never lets me down. A Bible verse, a hymn, a prayer and there He is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cezhead Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The Holy Spirit of truth living in us is far greater than satan or any of His demons. It stops satan from convincing us his lies are true, and we also can discern the false prophets from the real one because the truth lives in us. We have overcome the false prophets because we put our faith and belief in the word of God and not of man, and it will continue to protect us the same way in the future. If we know the real thing, it will be much harder to fool us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dave Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Q2. (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? The spirit of God is in us and there ain’t nobody or anything that can match strength like that. In what sense have we overcome them?We have overcome them in the sense that we live in the wisdom of God Himself, living the way God wants us to live and following His commandments. No more loveless, lawless, chaotic mode of living but a life of peace. In what way will we overcome them in the future?We shall ultimately overcome them in the future when Jesus returns to take us with Him and they are left behind for a future that will not be good. How should this truth affect fear in our lives? It means we should fear nothing because living for Christ, we have the hope that no matter what happens to us the victory is ours in the end.

hanks Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Q2. (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? In what sense have we overcome them? In what way will we overcome them in the future? How should this truth affect fear in our lives? We as Christians do not gain victory over the world by our superior intelligence; the only way we can gain victory is through the Holy Spirit. It is this indwelling of the Holy Spirit that gives us power beyond ourselves. The Holy Spirit is greater than Satan, and is greater than all the evil in this world; at the same time, it exposes all the false teachings we encounter today. He keeps us in the truth of His Word and strengthens us to overcome temptations and also enables us to detect error and helps us not to listen to it. We know all evil will fail and the battle has already been decided even if it is not over yet. All of us by faith participate in this victory, and this drives all our fears for the future away – we have the confidence in our final success. Thank You Lord Jesus!

Reuben Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Q2. (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? In what sense have we overcome them? In what way will we overcome them in the future? How should this truth affect fear in our lives? As we are children of God, it means that the Spirit of God is within us and this is greater than the false prophets, and Satan. We have overcome them because of the Spirit of Truth that guides us and will show us when false prophets and Satan is at work to derail us from the truth of the Bible. Test all things as the Bible says and see if it holds up with the Bible or are we dealing with false doctrine. We know that victory is ours from the day Jesus died , and rose again. It says in the Bible that victory will be ours at the final moments , at the end of time as well, so we have overcome them in the future, if we stay within the truth, and be guided by the Holy Spirit. How can we have fear if we know we are assured of victory! The truth shall set you free, that removes doubt and fear, and is replaced by assurance and confidence. How great is this peace we have. Hallelujah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissi Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 The Holy Spirit within me is greater than Satan or any false ideas that come from without (false teachers) or within (bad thinking), yet Christians often fall to temptation or have incomplete or misguided ideas. I'm thinking, now, about the many councils held in the first 500 years, or so, of Christianity, and how needed were they to root out heresy. All heretics are not Christians. Some were Christians, but misguided. This means, then, that they did not wait or allow the Holy Spirit to do His work in their mind and heart. We have the Holy Spirit within us, but we are still in a battle. The Holy Spirit does not impose Himself unless asked and needed. So though He is greater, He works through and in weak humans who limit His power. We have overcome false ideas and Satan to the degree we let the Holy Spirit be sovereign. This is really a discussion of God's sovereignty, isn't it? The way to overcome in the future is the same as in the past -- battle. I don't like the triumphalist tone which assures that our battle has been won. Perhaps it has in an eternal sense, but here on earth, as we live, we battle until the end and don't always win. Increasingly we overcome, but not necessarily. Our battles morph into areas where we are weaker, and there are always these areas. Sin never leaves us. We should fear failure. Errantly thinking we can battle alone is a battle in itself. We should fear not making the mark, sinning, and falling short. These are real possibilities if not probabilities. If we're called to be like Him, knowing we'll never meet that call is fear-inducing. YET... we do have an advocate and the power of the Holy Spirit to enable us to be victorious. AND, we're forgiven when we truly repent. So our fear should be limited to our failures and sin, and not be totalizing -- we don't have to fear continual sin or failure. Sin's consequences, however, rarely evaporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mc. Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 (1 John 4:4) What in us is greater than false prophets and even Satan? Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and his gift of the Holy Spirit. In what sense have we overcome them? We have the Spirit of God in us, every day, at all times. As long as we believe, we are protected from the world (Satan, the antichrist and the false prophets). In what way will we overcome them in the future? How should this truth affect fear in our lives? At the end of days, we will be swept up into heaven BEFORE the great tribulation occurs (some call this the Rapture). Knowing we have God’s grace, we can lessen our fear level as the world collapses on itself under God’s plan, as outlined in Revelation.
