BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT
Main Text: 1 John 4: 1. Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Matthew 24:11 and then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
Our purpose on earth is to worship the true God, to do it by the power of the Spirit and in the way He has ordered. The worship of the true God leads to salvation. You need to recognize the spirit that is not of God. You should ignore false teachers. Likewise, you should not believe lies. Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is God is from Satan.
This is the spirit of the antiChrist which you have heard is coming and even now, is already in the world. This spirit gently introduces the seed of doubt and confusion. This begins to work in your imagination. The more you entertain it in your imagination, the more the falsehood grows to overpower you. This is just the way all temptation works.
The Bible says ‘You should guard your heart because everything you do flows from it”. Judge every spirit by the Holy Bible. It doesn’t matter who the person is, it is possible to fall in to the devil’s traps if you believe every spirit.
THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US
PRAYER: Lord God, grant me the gift of discernment. I refuse to be negatively influenced, my mind is free to reason like Christ in Jesus’ name Amen.
