What is the world
[Jhn 16:33 NKJV] “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.“
[1Jo 2:15 – 17 NKJV] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father but is of the world.
A system with an evil mind behind it.
How evil works
[Psa 7:14 NKJV] 14 Behold, [the wicked] brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
1.The seed of evil impregnated the womb
2.The womb conceives mischief, trouble, vexation of mind
3.The product that is born is deception, falsehood.
The purpose of evil is not bad deeds, but deception that allows him to control you. You will believe you are actually doing good.
[Isa 5:20 NKJV] 20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Overcoming the world
[1Jo 5:4 NKJV] For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith.
[1Jo 4:4-6 NKJV] 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Faith (substance of Truth) and Identity (Christ in you) are the weapons to overcome the world.
Destroying the seed of evil
[1Jo 3:8-9 NKJV] 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
It’s the war of the SEEDS! We are not easy, ‘whatever’ on sin. We cannot accept sin. The SEED of GOD in you REJECTS SIN.
Judging sin in the world
[John 16:8-9 NKJV] 8 “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, … 9 “of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
[Rom 12:19-20 NKJV] 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
What is the wrath of God: the increase of the seed of evil in the world. The world will self-destruct as the seed will produce its fruit. Rev.17:17
Righteous judgement
[2Th 1:4-7 NKJV] 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, 5 [which is] manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since [it is] a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to [give] you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,
Because God is in a different class than the enemy. HE WINS EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS HE LOSES!
Doing GOOD
[Rom 2:4 NKJV] 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
[Rom 12:17-18, 21 NKJV] 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. … 21 Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.
God gave a choice to everyone to sow the good seed. But no one has a choice to change the outcome of what they sowed.
You doing good gives everyone a chance for repentance OR speeds up the judgment of the evil seed. See Jonah.
Why Goodness?
[Mat 5:44-45 NKJV] 44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 “that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Overcoming is not FIGHTING evil with good. But overwhelming with Goodness until evil is trapped in its own evilness.
It’s the FINAL destruction of the tree of knowledge and its fruit.
Final Victory
I am an OVERCOMER!
I CANNOT lose!
I am exactly like my Father!
