1 John 4:4 (KJV)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Ye Are of God—Greater Is He in You Than He That Is in the World: An Anthem of Redeemed Royalty.The poem is a triumphant declaration of spiritual victory based on 1 John 4:4 (KJV). It celebrates the indwelling presence of God—the Holy Spirit—within every believer as far greater and more powerful than any evil force or darkness that rules the world.Key themes and progression:

  • Contrast of powers: The “greater” One (God/Christ/Holy Spirit) living inside believers overcomes the “prince of darkness” and his influence, no matter how fierce or persistent his attacks may seem.
  • Inner divine reality: Every redeemed person (saint/child of God) carries an unquenchable fire, undimmed light, and the very presence of heaven, fulfilling God’s promises.
  • Spiritual warfare acknowledged: Believers face real opposition—not just human struggles, but unseen powers that try to bind and break—but victory is already sealed through Christ’s strength.
  • Freedom from fear: No fear, storm, or worldly rage can overpower the inner voice and authority given by God; heaven’s power determines the outcome.
  • Royal identity and call to action: Redeemed believers stand as royalty, clothed in divine armor and grace. The poem ends with a stirring summons to “rise up” as children of the King, boldly proclaim freedom, and live in the reality that the conquering God of life and resurrection dwells mightily in them.

In essence, the poem is an encouraging anthem of assurance, empowerment, and praise: because God is greater and lives within us, we are overcomers—redeemed royalty called to stand fearless, victorious, and bold for His glory.It moves from recognition of the battle → assurance of inner victory → rejection of fear → declaration of royal identity → a final rallying cry to rise and proclaim the truth. Amen—greater indeed is He!

Greater is He that is in us,
Than he that rules the shadowed throng—
The Prince of darkness, fierce and sly,
Whose whispers echo loud and long.

Yet in the heart of every saint,
The Holy Spirit dwells supreme;
A fire unquenched, a light undimmed,
Fulfilling every promised dream.

We wrestle not with flesh alone,
But powers that seek to bind and break;
Yet victory’s seal is on our souls—
For Christ’s own strength we undertake.

No fear can chain what God has freed,
No storm can drown the inner voice;
The world may rage with fleeting might,
But heaven’s power makes our choice.

Redeemed and royal, bold we stand,
In armor forged by grace divine;
For greater is He within our breast
Than any foe in this world of thine.

Rise up, O children of the King!
Proclaim the truth that sets us free—
The God who conquered death and grave
Lives mighty now in you and me.

Amen—greater indeed is He!
