1 John 4:1
BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(Try the spirit of all men; The Spirit gives internal assurance of true faith, active love, and consistent obidence in God)
It is so important that Christains do not be misled.
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect
It is so important that you know that you know with out of shadow of doubt, who is speaking into your spirit. I have seen with my own eyes the wolves in sheep clothing, and it was only by God's grace to allow me to have a discerning spirit to see in the spirit. We have to be careful, the devil knows that he has but a short time, so he's on his JOB again.
Matthew 7:15,16
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruit
* Revelation 22:16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star*
Those who have an ear...let them hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying
