Testing Spirits

1 John 4 New International Version (NIV) 
4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, 
but test the spirits to see whether they 
are from God, because many false prophets #
have gone out into the world. 

There are so many strange spirits in the world 
Please test every spirit!
How?
The first thing is, do not open up yourself to 
every prophet, seer, spiritualist out there claiming 
they see a vision to you or they have a message 
for you! 
God does not chase people all over the street 
with messages! 
Jesus never did and neither did any 
of the apostles!
The second thing FOR BELIEVERS IS Practise 
Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, 
who by constant use (PRACTISE) have trained 
themselves to distinguish good from evil. 
For unbelievers: You need to get saved and 
receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Most of us want others to hear from God for us 
and as a result we are thrown off course and 
led astray! 
A brother just left my office, he was two weeks 
away from getting married when a prophet 
told him the lady he intended to get married 
to has an evil spirit! 
He believed!
He left the lady and the prophet pushed him 
to another lady! 
And he followed the instructions of the prophet 
only to find out after two years that the prophet 
and the lady were having an affair and only 
played him to have access to his money 
He was led astray because he felt it was God 
speaking to him! 
Most born again Christian who speaks in 
tongues and still run helter-skelter waiting 
for messages from a prophet are ignorant! 
Why did you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit 
if you will not grow in it to hear from God 
yourself? 
Many people call me and demand that i 
start telling them the history of my life and
their challenges as proof that i am a man 
of God! 
I just laugh! 
I have nothing to prove to anyone! 
Stop laying snares for yourself!
 There is no short cut to spiritual growth! 
You have to walk with the spirit of Jesus 
yourself
Finally, if anybody comes to you calling 
members of your family a witch, fueling 
discord, asking you to hate, keep away 
from people or labeling people etc 
Note that the Spirit of God does not work 
this way! 
The spirit of God leads you to Jesus and
 Jesus is a spirit of love 
The spirit of Jesus does not run from darkness
 Darkness flees in the presence of light 
There is no middle ground 
Dont fall for liars and charlatans 
I walk in the prophetic 
I teach the supernatural 
So I know one or two things about the spirit of God 
REFUSE TO BE MISLED BY Flesh
masquerading as the Spirit of God
