God Tells Us To Test The Spirits

 

Not every Christian is a Christian. Not every prophet is a prophet of God. Not every Pastor is a Pastor is of God. Some come in to deceive the believers. There are some  deceiving people. Their spirits are wrong.

John had this to say.

1 John 4:1-6

1 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.

2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.

6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

This is the reason we are told to get into the word so we are not deceive by cunning spirits of the world.
