Good morning and happy Monday! Ok, first of all I would like you guys to pay attention to the way I wrote the title for the reading this morning. I capitalized "Y" to stress the importance of "Your" father. Then I did not capitalize letter "f" in the word father.
Why did I do it like that? Well, yeah you're right! I guess I am weird like that sometimes. However, this time I have a pretty good reason for why I did it like that.
Usually I would capitalize letter F in the word father. iI do that when I am talking about Jesus Christ! That is the way I like to stress its importance. However,I'm not thinking about God the father today! Nope, not talking about Jesus!
Are you thinking what are you talking about Sam? Do you guys know that satan is a father too? Father of lies! Yep the bible says the evil one is the prince of this world.
When I 1st became a born again Christian? Maybe in my early years? I am thinking of my late teens and early twenties. Did I know the Bible?
My answer is no not really. Did I read The Bible? Well, I did just say I didn't really know the bible. So, If I had a different answer. Then that would mean I also knowthe Bible. Because, how can I know The Bible if I did not read The Bible.
I guess I never read the verse in the bible about the evil one being the Prince of this world. If I saw that before and I was a new believer/ younger person? I probably would have been really scared?
The truth is actually, we humans who know God as their personal Lord and savior should not feel scared one bit. The Bible says that "He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world!"

1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his n, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,
Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
