"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world." 1 John 2:15-16.
Love for stuff, lots of stuff, I mean we all just love (l-o-v-e) stuff, the more stuff the better, just so we can call all our friends and tell them to come on over so they can see our stuff. Then, when we get tired of our stuff or don't need our stuff anymore, we get rid of our stuff. Why? To make room for new stuff. All that stuff can sure get us into trouble. Even worse, we start to begin to think that all this stuff will make us happy or fill the empty places in our hearts.
Sorry, but what we need to do is place our worldly hopes and dreams in our Abba Father, He gives us the real stuff, the right stuff and the only stuff we need for eternity, and the stuff we need most, the Holy Spirit is always with us! Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.

2. It is NOT the "human world"

3. RATHER, it is the world of "sin", the world of "evil"!
a. I.e., the "sphere" in which sin, evil, and Satan dominates
b. This "world" is one in which sin dominates
Let's unite our hearts and declare the war against the demon and its forces.. No matter where you are. As a child of God, declare this war against this demon.
Let's give serious heed to John's admonition, and make sure that our affection is in the right place: loving the Father by keeping His commandments!
