Here is our afternoon meditation for the 21 days of fasting and prayer. This is day 16 of our 21 days! I have heard and learned so much and I have so many questions to seek of the Lord.

1 JOHN 3:4-10

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. ⁵ But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. ⁶ No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

⁷ Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. ⁸ The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. ⁹ No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. ¹⁰ This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

1 John 3:4-10 (Source: Equip the Called)	Theme: Children of God vs. Children of the Devil
	1. No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning willfully; a transformed life is the evidence of new birth.
	2. The Son of God appeared for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil.
	3. Practicing righteousness is the sign that you are a child of God.

THINKING TIME:

1. WHAT DOES TRANSFORMATION MEAN TO YOU?
2. WHAT ARE THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL YOU RECOGNIZE AROUND YOUR LIFE?
3. HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL IN YOUR LIFE?
