Testing Of The Spirits

[Walter and Deborah]

1 John 4:1-21

1 John 4 English Standard Version (ESV) Test the Spirits. 4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.

Testing Of The Spirits 1-6, Love As Christ Loved 7-21.

1 John 4 - NKJV Bible - Bible Study Tools

[stuart allen]

in the revelations given to Vassula Ryden called 'True Life in God' Our Lord Jesus Christ makes a point of saying "when I lived among you in the flesh"...thus PROVING BIBLICALLY that these messages ARE from God 

(His statement is on the very first page of the printed version of these Holy Messages...DO NOT SLANDER THESE MESSAGES FROM HEAVEN...THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF SPEAKS THEREIN, IN PERSON)

and yet many here...Bible believing Christians all...refuse to accept Our Lords Love Hymn

His Call is a call for Christian unity and love...unity of the heart

it is rejected by those who, from misguided zeal, pride and lack of love, are hostile to it's obviously catholic content

and by those who are suspicious and superstitious regarding it's method of delivery...Our Lord Jesus Christ guides Vassula's handwriting, gently and steadily, with her full permission and cooperation as she hears His Words (locutions)

1 John 4:1-2 PROVES IRREFUTABLY, BY THE VERY WORD OF GOD HIMSELF, GIVEN IN HOLY SCRIPTURE, that Vassula Ryden IS a genuine prophet

and are we not taught...do not despise the gift of prophecy, simply test the spirits to see if they are from God

these revelations pass that test...it's that simple

who here will help Our Lord Jesus??

who here will deny Our Lord Jesus?? His Word...His Will

much love to one and all...always and forever

Pax Christi

Walter and Deborah,

Thank you for posting this verse. There are many false teachers and cults in the world today. We listen to God’s Spirit of Truth who speaks through us in the inspired Word. Prophets sent by God will speak from God, and God’s children will recognize them. Our Lord is truly to be worshiped for all His guiding love and wisdom.  

• Romans 16:18 tells us “For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people."
• 2 Peter 2:1, “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.  They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.”
• Jeremiah 23:16, “This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.”

It is extremely important to test spirits, especially since the New Age is making a comeback. One problem is people who fall for false spirits often don't know the Lord Jesus so they are hard pressed to test a spirit. But it's needed.
