The Bible warns us 1 John 4: 1 "Dear friends, do not believe in any spirit, but try the spirits to see if it is from God, because many false prophets have come into the world.
Very often we forget that we live in a spiritual battle zone. Eph 6:12 "For our struggle we are not against blood and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the forces of this dark world, and against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavens.
The devil will try to deceive you and show you the truth. 2 Corinthians 11: 14-15 "And it is no wonder Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light. It is no wonder, therefore, if the servants of Satan are transformed into servants of righteousness.
But remember that cheating is just his weapon. This is the father of the false and he has no good intentions on your behalf. John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil, and want to fulfill your father's desire." He was a brain from the beginning, he does not hold the truth, because there is no truth in him, because he is the loser and the father of the false.
There is no doubt that the apostle John encourages us to test the spirits. The framework of his warning was false. Jesus warned us against those who, as well! Matt 7: 15-16 "Beware of pseudo-prophets Come to you with sheep's clothing, but from within are wild wolves." If you believe in a non-biblical prophet, please put that prophet to test.
However, the test of spirits is not limited to prophets, but to something spiritual.
How can you try them out? Here are some tests that will guarantee whether these spirits are from God or not.
The first test is given by the apostle John himself in the context of the testing of the spirits.
1. Test 1 John 4: 2-3 2 "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that recognizes that Jesus Christ has come with the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not recognize Jesus it is not from God This is the spirit of the antichrist you have heard is coming even now it is already in the world.
The first test is to make sure the spirit recognizes that Jesus Christ has come with the flesh. These verses are better understood in the light of Gnostics, such as the errors that have existed since the time of John. He had denied that Jesus really came into the flesh. 2 John 7 "Many deceivers, who do not recognize Jesus Christ as coming into the flesh, have come into the world. Every such person is the plan and the antichrist." and by their action in fact denied that Jesus is the Messiah.
Be careful if we know that the devil and his agents recognize the historical incarnation, but they do not confess Jesus as Lord. See how evil spirits had recognized Jesus during his ministry on earth:
Mark 1: 23-24 "Exactly then a man in their synagogue, who had understood from a bad spirit, cried," What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to ruin us? I know who you are, the saint of God! ""
And
Mark 5: 7-8 "He cried at the height of his voice," What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I swear to God that I will not tangle! "
As you can see, evil spirits recognize Jesus as the Son of God and recognize the ministry.
The Bible also says: James 2:19 "Think there is a Good God Even the demons believe that - and I shudder!"
The big difference is that the evil shutter when the name of Jesus is mentioned and no one will recognize as Lord and Messiah. Make sure the spirit that is in contact with him recognizes Jesus as Lord and Messiah. No evil spirit we will preach for Jesus is our Lord and be our Messiah. No evil spirit will invite people to accept Jesus in their lives. They take away the name of Jesus!
Every spirit that is sent by God will glorify God and the worship of God. The Angels of God do not receive worship for themselves!
Ref. 19:10 "In this he fell on his feet to worship it, but he said to me," Do not do it! I am a co-worker with you and your brothers holding the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. ""
Jesus gives us the second test.
Test 2: Mat 7: 16-20 "from their wrist will recognize them People take pear from the thorns, or the teasers from the bristles. Likewise, every good tree makes good fruits, but a bad tree brings fruit bad A good tree can not bear bad fruits, and a bad tree can not bear good fruit.
