Beloved, imagine not each spirit, however strive the spirits whether or not they’re of God: as a result of many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Each spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come within the flesh is of God: and each spirit that doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come within the flesh will not be of God. And that is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you might have heard was coming, and is now already on this planet. 1 John 4:1-3
There are lots of folks inside the Church, who declare to be prophets, who declare to be apostles, they declare to be talking for God, but these individuals are not of God , however of Devil. Simply because somebody quotes scripture or has a following, don’t robotically assume that they’re crammed with the Holy Spirit. We should take a look at each spirit that comes into our path! Because the Apostle John says “Beloved, don’t imagine each spirit, however take a look at the spirits whether or not they’re from God”
Keep in mind when Devil confronted The Lord Jesus he quoted scripture additionally (Matthew 4) Many individuals immediately would have believed Devil, they might have stated “Properly he’s quoting scripture” however he twisted the Phrase of God to suit his agenda. Doesn’t that sound acquainted immediately? Or keep in mind Eve was deceived by Devil within the backyard, “You certainly received’t die” promised Devil, but it surely was a lie from the pit of Hell that condemned humanity. Watch out when believing the guarantees of a false prophet, as a result of they might condemn your soul
So how can we establish a false prophet? Right here are some things from my expertise and perspective. Firstly, every part they are saying should line up with the Phrase of God. Each assertion the false prophet makes, can or not it’s backed up with scripture? Each promise or “prophecy” can or not it’s verified with scripture? Keep in mind Devil used scripture additionally, are they utilizing scripture within the full context of the chapter within the Bible?
Secondly, a false prophets ministry will at all times be carnally minded and never within the Kingdom of God. Because the previous saying goes “comply with the cash path” , when a preacher is usually curious about cash, its an enormous purple flag. When a preacher simply retains asking for cash and makes claims your cash can produce “blessings” in your life, they’re false, they’re carnally minded. The false prophet wishes the issues of the flesh as an alternative of crucifying their flesh. Cash, energy, intercourse, worldly possessions, are all driving factors for a false prophet. As Jesus stated “What does it revenue to achieve the entire world and to lose your soul” (Mark 8:36)
One widespread denominator I at all times discover with a false ministry is the denial of the Trinity, the denial of the Deity of Christ,the denial of the bodily resurrection of Christ, which usually results in the denial of the authority of scripture. Because the Apostle John says right here “By this you’ll know the Spirit of God, each spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come into the flesh is from God” Many cults declare to comply with Jesus, however what’s their description of Jesus? Is their perception of Jesus Christ, the identical as what the Bible says? Most cults at all times imagine in a false Jesus, the aim is that they deny his deity, they decrease Christ into nothing greater than one other creation of God. Beware of those false prophets and teams! No person may be saved with out Christ (John 14:6, Acts 4:12) For those who don’t know the actual Jesus, it doesn’t matter what you do know!
Because the Apostle John stated “And that is the spirit of the AntiChrist, and is now already on this planet” Devil’s final objective is to mislead folks on who Jesus is and rattling everybody’s soul to Hell. You must ensure you are following the actual Jesus Christ of the Bible, another variation is only a false idol and you might be merely not saved in any respect! Check the Spirits, as a result of your soul is on the road! Amen!
