Test the Spirits

Testing the Spirits

Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world.

By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its source]; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world.

Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].

They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore, they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. 1 John 4:1-5 (AMP)

Teach God’s Word, be energized by the Holy Spirit, and know God through personal experience and knowledge of His unchanging, steadfast “Word,” gaining a deeper understanding of Him. Whoever is not of God does not listen to or acknowledge that Christ Jesus, the Son of God. By this, we know without any doubt that the spirit of truth, motivated by God, is not in them.

Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit are your assurance, your sure, unshakable foundation.

You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline to make a difference. Prepare your heart, mind, and spirit. Take on your Armor of God and be ready.

You matter. Your Story matters live expectantly!

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!
