1 John 2:7–11
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning…
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you… because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness… and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Scripture (Written Out)
1 John 2:15–17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world…
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:18–20

Prayer Points:
Father, help me not to love the world or crave its temporary pleasures.
Give me victory over the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life.
Teach me to value what is eternal rather than what passes away.
Lord, give me discernment to recognize deception.
Thank You for the anointing of the Holy Spirit—keep me grounded in truth.
