"I'd rather be a naive member of the elect than a calumnious member of the damned" T. Horn ... "The Holy Spirit has revealed that there is a divide between present humanity, namely, the saved and the damned. The latter will be punished with everlasting torments, while the former will enjoy everlasting happiness in glory. " E. Ybarra

Today's reading.
1 John 3:22–4:6
Beloved:
We receive from him whatever we ask,
because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
And his commandment is this:
we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,
and love one another just as he commanded us.
Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them,
and the way we know that he remains in us
is from the Spirit whom he gave us.
Beloved, do not trust every spirit
but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
This is how you can know the Spirit of God:
every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh
belongs to God,
and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus
does not belong to God.
This is the spirit of the antichrist
who, as you heard, is to come,
but in fact is already in the world.
You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them,
for the one who is in you
is greater than the one who is in the world.
They belong to the world;
accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world,
and the world listens to them.
We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us,
while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us.
This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
Do you acknowledge Jesus the Son of God come in the flesh?

Happy New Year
Today we continue the theme of the "Heart". If you read my post yesterday, all well and good, if not it was about the importance of linking our souls/heart to the right hearts of Jesus and Mary especially when experiencing the grief of the loss of a loved one, and avoiding bad soul links.
Today's reading tells us to accept the free gift of the Holy Spirit/Son into our hearts and become heirs to the Kingdom of God.
