Praying from 1 John 4:2 relating to Salvation, Incarnation, Divinity

Dear God, thank you for revealing to us the Spirit of God. We pray that every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of you. Help us to discern the truth and to always follow your will. May we be filled with your Spirit and live a life that glorifies you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to use the confession of Jesus Christ coming in the flesh as a test to discern whether a spirit is of God or not.
