I was really curious about this scripture and just wanted to get someone's thoughts on it. Who do you suppose the word "them" is being referred to? Is it referring to Satan and his demons or the world in general?

When one joins a VIP group one feels so honored and no one can temper with you. However the moment the VIP group is no longer there your respect disappears. The moment God moves out of us we are nothing, so the one in us, God makes us the VIP and the moment he leaves us the VIP status goes away.

The world takes confidence in great strength or power and we do to as believers. it 's for this power that the world super power is sounding every where and the weaker nations and tribes feel inferior. Brethren this is the secret, we have a reason to shout, subdue, conquer and overtake territories for the power in us is greater than any other power in the world. Remember its not just greater than the power of your village, not just your tribe, not just your nation but the world. what a verse! oh jesus help me now

Its an assurance to me that the one in me makes me strong to overcome the enemy in the world

Kathryn's comment on 2014-12-30 05:56:49:

it is comforting to know that though the enemy tries to inhabit the minds of God 's children, that the Spirit of God is greater in them than that of the enemy.

MockingBird's comment on 2014-08-15 06:04:58:

I praise God that He lives in me and as He is so am I in this world . Jesus said to be of good cheer I have overcome the world and therefore I also overcome the world because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Praise God Praise God. Fear not I will never leave thee nor forsake thee I am never alone.

Gladys's comment on 2014-06-17 08:26:21:

I was reading a book by James W. Goll GOD ENCOUNTERS and on page 111 after his chapter "angelic encounters " he has a prayer . "Lord, open the eyes of my heart that I might truly know, "Greater are they who are with us then they who are in the world ". I have heard this verse quite often as I was growing up so I looked it up 1John 4 4 and I discovered that it says "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. While the statement is true it should not be confused with 1John4 4 .

Sonya Alexander's comment on 2014-04-07 03:30:54:

This verse was in me strong this morning I was so encouraged to look it up online instead of reading my bible, thank God I followed the inclination to look it up. I am so blessed to know by word of each testimony I am not alone in my journey to live a victorious life in Christ Jesus. When you are not surrounded by believers on a regular basis it gets lonely and sometimes you feel almost seperated, thank God he is using every avenue to reach us.

deedee's comment on 2014-03-31 08:41:13:

I woke up this morning with this verse repeating over and over in my head and accepts the fact that GOD is telling me that I am stronger that my fears. I will go on with my life stronger today than I was yesterday in Jesus name AMEN

Agnes's comment on 2014-02-06 11:19:07:

Mickael Osei-Tutu's comment on 2014-01-01 08:04:31:

If you walk in Him, He dwells in you, for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the (Godhead bodily) God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. And we are complete in Him who is the head of the Church. Amen.
