Peace to my dear family, brothers and sisters! Amen.
Let’s open our Bibles to 1 John chapter 4 verse 1 and read together: Dear brothers, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. . Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; by this you will know the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 12:10 And he enabled one to work miracles, and to serve as a prophet, It also enables a person to discern the spirits , and also made one person able to speak in tongues, and also made one person able to interpret tongues.
Today I will study, fellowship, and share with you all "Distinguishing Spirits" Pray: Dear Abba, Holy Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! The virtuous woman [church] sends workers to transport food from distant places in the sky, and distributes food to us in time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. Ask the Lord Jesus to continue to illuminate our spiritual eyes, open our minds to understand the Bible, and enable us to hear and see spiritual truth → teach us to use the Holy Spirit of truth → to discern spirits.
The above prayers, thanks, and blessings! I ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
Discern spirits
(1) The Holy Spirit of truth
Let’s study the Bible John 14:15-17 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter (or Translation: Comforter; the same below) , that he may be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, for he abides with you and will be in you.
[Note]: The Lord Jesus said: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever, who is the Spirit of truth → The Spirit of truth has come , He will lead you into "all truth"! See John 16:13.
How to receive the Holy Spirit? → In Him you also believed, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. --Ephesians 1:13. Note: After you "heard" the word of truth → understood the truth, the gospel of your salvation → you believed in Christ and received the promise【 Holy Spirit ]! Amen. So, do you understand clearly?
→ I have communicated and shared with you earlier that the Holy Spirit of truth → the Holy Spirit is the truth! → God is spirit: "The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jehovah, the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of the Son of God, the Spirit of the Lord, and the Spirit of truth are "one spirit" → that is, the Holy Spirit of truth! Amen. So, do you understand clearly?
(2) Human spirit
Genesis Chapter 2 Verse 7 The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul, and his name was Adam. → "Spirit" means flesh and blood , The "spirit" in Adam, the ancestor of mankind → a natural spirit . See 1 Corinthians 15:45. →[The spirit of man] died in his transgressions and uncircumcised flesh, that is, the first ancestor Adam broke the law and sinned, and the "spirit of man" died in his uncircumcised flesh. So, do you understand clearly?
Ecclesiastes 3 Chapter 21 Who knows that the "spirit of man" ascends → The "spirit" of man rises as the spirit that believes in the gospel and is saved; but for those who "do not believe" in the gospel, after their bodies return to dust, their "spirits" are in prison, that is, Hades→ Christ through spirit ] Preach the gospel to the spirits in prison. Although the flesh is being judged, through faith in Christ, " spirit "Living by God, because the "gospel" salvation has not yet been revealed in ancient times. Do you understand this clearly? Reference - 1 Peter Chapter 3 Verse 19 and 4 Chapter 5-6.
(3) The spirit of the fallen angel
Isaiah 14:12 "O bright star, Son of the morning, why have you fallen from heaven? Why have you, the conqueror of nations, been cut down to the earth? Revelation 12:4 Its tail drags the stars of heaven. A third of it fell to the ground.
Note: The "bright star, son of the morning" in the sky and he dragged "one-third" of the angels → fell to the ground → became "dragon, serpent, devil, Satan" and the fallen one-third of the angels → became " The spirit of error , antichrist spirit "--Refer to John 1 Chapter 4 Verses 3-6," devil's spirit , False prophet’s unclean spirit "--Refer to Revelation 16, verses 13-14," Tempting evil spirits "--Refer to 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1," lying spirit "Refer to 1 Kings 22:23," The spirit of error "Refer to Isaiah 19:14. So, do you understand clearly?
→ Where[ spirit ] Confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, that is, from God; from this you can recognize that "the Spirit of God" comes from the Holy Spirit. Fan" spirit "If you deny Jesus, you are not of God. This is spirit of antichrist . Refer to 1 John 4:2-3.
The most obvious thing is that in many churches today → the "spirits" of false prophets teach you that after you "believe" in Jesus you must "confess your sins every day and ask for His precious blood to wash away your sins → Count the blood of the covenant that sanctified Him as commonplace →This is The spirit of error . Such "believers" have not yet understood the true way of the gospel and have been deceived by their error. If they really have the "Holy Spirit" within them, they will never regard the "blood of the Son of God" as ordinary; this is obvious, you say! Right? →If you are "reborn" → you don't need others to teach you, because the "anointing" will teach you what to do! Therefore, you must come out from them → "enter" the "church of the Lord Jesus Christ" that preaches the gospel and speaks the truth → so that you can: be resurrected, reborn, saved, have life, receive glory, receive rewards, receive crowns, and in the future A more beautiful resurrection! Amen. Do you understand? Reference - Hebrews 10:29 and John 1:26-27.
(4) The ministering spirit of angels
Hebrews 1:14 Angel Aren't they all Spirit of service , sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Note: Jesus Christ was born → Angels brought good news to Mary and the shepherds; when Herod was persecuted, angels protected Mary and her family to flee; Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, and angels came to serve him; Jesus was crucified to save us, and angels added His strength → because we believe in the gospel and understand the truth → after rebirth and salvation → are members of his body, “bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh”! Amen. We have the body and life of Christ → "everyone" is guarded by ministering angels. Amen! Hallelujah! If a person does not have the body and life of Christ, there will be no angelic guardianship. So, do you understand clearly?
Brothers and sisters must "listen carefully and listen with understanding" - in order to understand God's words! alright! Today I would like to share my fellowship with you all. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be always with you all! Amen
