How to Test the Spirits?

Dear true born again readers, beware of the 'counterfeits' and 'imposters' among us. For it is written, 'Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that anti-Christ shall come, even now are there many anti-Christs; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.'

"And a man's foe shall be they of his own household."

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."

GOD's sufficient every living word through Lord Jesus Christ in these last days was testified orally in the beginning by the chosen disciple Apostles. (Hebrews 1:1&2) And later, was written down breathed out by GOD, until the availability of the canonized Holy Bible, the Old and New Testament combined. (2Timothy3:16&17).

The Holy Bible doesn't support neither the Holy Spirit is the living word of GOD. These are claims of the unlearned and instable who twist the Apostles' teaching and do so other scriptures, to their own destruction. But the scripture clearly support Jesus is the true living Word of GOD, and they're active and alive, especially ones written down within the New Testament for us to be disciple in. The Holy Spirit the Comforter, is the Power of GOD and the Helper to these written Living words of Jesus, that we've been already disciple in, like the Apostles orally with Jesus.

Like the Apostles, the Spirit help us to dive deeply into knowing the full truth, based on the written living words we're already disciple in. And for the record, when was the Holy Spirit sent to the Apostles?? Before being disciple in the every Living word of GOD through Jesus from the sermon on the mount, or after discipleship and after His ascension?? What was the sermon on the mount all about from Matthew ch. 5 onwards?? Wasn't it to disciple the 12 in the every living word of GOD through the sent Christ about grace and truth?? What is the power behind bringing us too for salvation and discipling us, even before the impartation of the Holy Spirit for ministry, like the Apostles??

For it is written, 'But to which of the angels said HE at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?'

'These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as 'it' hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him(Jesus)/GOD)'

Shalom

I learn from the Living word of God...the Bible isn’t Gods Living word, it’s His written word.

We all learn differently and God speaks to us all differently...just because one doesn’t read their Bible everyday doesn’t mean anything.

That's why these have many denominations spread worldwide like a plague. Where each denomination provide their own glasses(counterfeit spirit), how to study the written Holy Bible. Even by this same spirit they choose and borrow scriptures out of context to suite and fit their denominational doctrine and agendas.

For it is written, 'And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of Light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Ritajanice said:

1 Corinthians 12:3New King James Version (NKJV) Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

I hope the Living word of God speaks to your heart by his witness the Holy Spirit..

There is no knowledge of scripture without His Living word leading us through it....

Then why Jesus disciple them from the sermon on the mount, when they did not receive the Holy Spirit??

Where did disciple Peter get this answer from, answering Jesus, ' You are Christ, Son of the Living' and 'You are the word of eternal life', without the Spirit of truth??

Is Hebrews 1:13&14, referring to the Holy Spirit??

1John2:27, '..................................., and even as 'it' hath taught you, ..........................................' Now, the Holy Spirit is referred to in the scriptures as, 'He'. The anointing placed in us according to the verse above is referred as, 'it'.

Once you've come to see and encountered and experienced the Spirit of Christ, (Who someone quoted, Rom 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you) it must be nearly impossible to unsee those things that once bound us and go back into a life in bondage.

Sister, do you believe it's for the sake of setting us free that the Spirit has possessed us, has moved in, has made us His host and now we are His home?

For me I love the fact that Jesus redeemed this house (me), His Spirit has moved in to me and is doing a renovation that reflects the character of His Father Who is in heaven.

This is beautiful, you are beautiful, because the Creators are being formed in you to transform you so that you become like Them.

And when we see you, we see Jesus. If we see Jesus, we see the Father. Now that's something I give Them praise for right now. Glory to the Creators Who are transforming us into Their likeness FOR THEIR PLEASURE!

I think its time folks ponder on what it means .
IF CHRIST be in you , the body IS DEAD because o sin .
What did paul also mean when he wrote to timothy concerning
she who liveth is pleasure is dead while she liveth . SIN .
JESUS did not come so as we could live in sin at all . Rather we are crucified with Christ .
Both peter and paul would write this concerning Christ and us .
HE took our sins upon himself , in the flesh , that we be DEAD TO SIN SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS .
too many are NOT dead to sin but rather living it up in sin . THEY DEAD
but not to sin but from RIGHTEOUSNESS . we cant do as i once did and just lip his name
and yet still love our sin , justify our sin.
You see the old man living is not crucified , NOW IS IT .
Too many USE JESUS , USE LIBERTY as an occasion to serve the flesh .
YET know not that WHO WE SERVE is WHOSE WE ARE . whether of sin unto death
or of obediance unto righteousness .
Many forget , shall we sin that grace may abound , GOD FORBID ................dont you know to whom
you YIELD yourselves servants TO OBEY is WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE .
i am seeing rainbows BRO . i am seeing many within christainty accepting that muslims and other religions
be serving the same GOD WE DO bro . AND TIS ALL A LIE . and we know who spawns a lie
now dont we . EL DIABLO . And how did we all once serve the prince of the air , the spirit of disobediance
WELL THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH . TOO many be serving another image of GOD and of CHRIST
and that image SURE SEEMS TO SERVE THE FLESH . BUT , wait , oh dear , THAT MAKE IT OF THE DEVIL , NOT GOD .

He was crucified, so that we may become Born Of The Spirit.

We are baptised in the Spirit....baptised into Jesus Spirit......while we live on the earth today.we were chosen and predestined to become children of God.

Spirit gives birth to spirit.....our spirit needs to be birthed...that is what becomes Born Again...our spirit.
That’s when we become spiritual children of God...by His Spirit..

I can’t say much more...without speaking about the T word which is banned on here.

always remember there was no creators , with an S
RATHER GOD CREATED . and now a word
HOW DID GOD CREATE . HE SPOKE . BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST .
JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD , HE IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD .
WHEN GOD SPEAKS , HIS WORD COMETH FORTH , HIS SPIRIT COMETH FORTH OF HIM.
THERE WERE NOT creators . JUST CREATOR . IF you have seen ME phillip THEN YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER .
WHEN GOD said let their be light , THERE WAS LIGHT
WHEN GOD SAID LET their be a firmamnent dividing the waters , IT was created .
Notice what JESUS said , AS I HEAR that I DO . I cannot do anything of MYSELF .
WHEN GOD said let there be light , ONLY LIGHT was created . not the trees , not etc
JESUS IS THE WORD and the Word only doeth as the FATHER sayeth .
THIS too is why JESUS could say the FATHER IS GREATER THAN I ..........................
and yet STILL the very same essence which is GOD that cometh forth of GOD , THE WORD IS .....................
Many attack the diety of Christ and they do it unto their own destruction .
I AM ALPHA and OMEGA . take note both GOD says this and JESUS TOO . THE WORD IS GOD and GOD BE HIS WORD .
AS HE IS IS SPIRIT .
THE FATHER will send you the COMFORTER .
I WILL not leave you alone , I WILL COME UNTO YOU . ME and MY FATHER will make our abode ..........
TIS A MYSTERY all right . BUT when JOHN said in the beginning
was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and GOD was the WORD . BANK ON IT and never let men
twist it with a word or a god junk . THEY changed it . But in the beginning it was not so . MEN DID THIS
JWS , and others . GOD BE HIS WORD and HIS WORD BE HE .

The Spirit is in possession of our spirit./ He indwells/ Lives in our spirit, as you well know.

Doesn't this excite us. The Creator Who hovered over the deep and created all that we see is in us. That the Designer made us compatible with His Spirit, like computer hardware and software.

And isn't it comforting to know through experience that this indwelling Being is manifesting Himself out of us. That His living Word was injected into us, like sap into the branches of the tree so it can grow and bear fruit, good fruit, fruit that would be available for others to eat and get to experience the God in us.

Thus gives me an ever growing confidence that it is Him Who lives in me Who will do the work in me, through me and for me so that the Divine Gardener gets heaps of pleasure from what He had done.

All glory to Him Who does ALL things in accordance with His script.

As someone recently quoted,
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Now that's something that generates hope, excitement, anticipation, joy... to name only a few great fruit available to us who have received the Spirit of Christ.

And to add to this, did Christ say of the branches of the Tree, the sheep of the Shepherd, the bride of the Groom, you will do greater things than I've been doing? Why? Because He went to His Father so that They could download Their Spirit into us enabling us to do greater work than Jesus.
Now that's pretty cool.

Jesus was a great Teacher. We can be even greater teachers. He healed people wherever He went. We can heal, raise the dead, set more captives free than He did.
Now that's super cool!

Click to expand...

For they need not the Holy Ghost in the beginning after baptism, since Jesus the Living Word of GOD was with them and discipling them. As the 12 were disciple the words/teaching of Jesus, He was initially imparting in them words of 'spirit and 'life'. (John6:63)

Even the commission given by Jesus to them was, teach all nations, baptizing them ............................ (Matthew 28:19)

Fred J said:

Click to expand...

Apparently these are revelation from the FATHER personally to Peter, according to Jesus. For during these marvel encounter and even of the other 11, the Holy Ghost was in Jesus the whole time. So the disciples without the Holy Spirit, were already receiving revelation from the FATHER which art in Heaven. And likewise also receiving Jesus' words/teaching of 'spirit' and 'life', and 'eternal life'.

Fred J said:

Is Hebrews 1:13&14, referring to the Holy Spirit??

Apparently not!

Apart from the Holy Spirit, the angels all are ministering spirits, who minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation!

Fred J said:

1John2:27, '..................................., and even as 'it' hath taught you, ..........................................' Now, the Holy Spirit is referred to in the scriptures as, 'He'. The anointing placed in us according to the verse above is referred as, 'it'.

John's letter to the church explains that every believer have received this anointing from GOD and abides in them, and is referred to as, 'it'

'It' teaches them all things, and is truth, and is no lie, ......................

On the other hand, the Holy Spirit is an invisible 'person', whom is referred to as, 'He'
