You Have Power and 'Can Do-Ness' Because You Have the Holy Spirit

1 John 2:20-27
1 John 2:20-27 (ESV) 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.
Just as way of reminder, these past weeks as we've been going through 1 John, we've been shown the things that can hinder our real fellowship with God. John has laid these out because he wants believers in the church to continually grow in maturity as Christians, but also so that they grow even closer in their relationship with God...in fact, this thing of fellowship with God is so much a blessing from God...
Having fellowship with God the Father and God the Son is the greatest blessings that has been given to the Christian, and it has been permanently written into our lives through the Holy Spirit...the One Who has anointed us.
We should remember once again, that John is writing to people who are IN the Church...or more pointedly, he is writing to people who have NOT left the church as some had done, because they had fallen away because of false teachings through those John called anti-christs. Those had not ...
