EXPLICIT BIBLE TRUTH
Jesus
Who is he
What is he
Why is he
Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: KJV
Matthew 7:8 For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened. ISV
Romans 5:19 For as through the one man’s disobedience (Adam) the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One (man, ChristJesus) the many will be made righteous (righteousness is the gift of God, Rom. 3:22, Eph. 2:8-10, ISV, KJV).

“TEST THE SPIRITS”
1John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
1John 4:2 By this know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.
1John 4:3 And every spirit which does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God; and this is the Antichrist which you heard is coming (spirit of Antichrist), and now is already in the world.
Antichrist is not currently a person in the flesh but he is a spirit who then and now works in the sons of disobedience, Ephesians 2:2. Antichrist is probably an identity of Satan. Satan will be cast into the “Lake of Fire” before the “Great White Throne Judgment” Revelation 20:10.
SO, How do we talk to Spirits? Answer, we donât ! The context here is about false prophets and this would include the writings of false prophets such as Nostradamus.
Titus 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Titus 1:13 This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith,
Verse 1:12 of Titus âa Prophet of their ownâ is a prophet of the world but is not a prophet of God but has an acute sense of observation and study where by they can predict things like the out come of horse races and other sporting events.
God’s prophets receive information from God by revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or teaching. Only God knows the future. Revelation which means: unveiling of a mystery probably ceased with the Apostle John recording the âBook of Revelationâ. The prophets of God in the Church today receive illumination of God’s written word the Bible from the Holy Spirit for teaching. There are false teachers in Local Church today who make wild extravagant claims and others who deny the only Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
The lying spirits are working through the false prophets, people who are not born of God. The false prophets are indwelt by evil spirits also called Familiar Spirits and they carry and spread false testimony and false lying doctrines and even do false lying wonders.
Simply asking the messengers what their stand on Jesus Christ is should accomplish this test of the Spirits, 1Corinthians 2:11-16.
If the messenger denies the Savior of the World having already come and I might add denying His second coming as well, they are lying and have a lying Spirit or lying Spirits.
Even the message of Jesus Christ has been distorted as the Devil is the master of the half-truth. Much of this distortion comes from the pulpits of American Churches. Don’t be deceived by denominational view point because Christianity comes from the Bible.
The false Prophets here are fore-telling (so called messages written before the fact). Their prophecies don’t line up with existing Bible revelation concerning Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:10.
Fore-telling âChurch ageâ prophecy ended with the Apostle John recording the Bible book of “The Revelation” in about 97 A.D, 1Corinthians 13:8-13 (face to face), Exodus 33:11 (face to face).
Forth-telling (after the fact, post recorded prophecy messages, teachings) continue today all of which come from the Bible by rightly dividing, placing the Bible words in proper context, 2Peter 3:14-18.
Read your Bible!
2Corinthians 11:12 But what I (the Apostle Paul) am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
2Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
2Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
2Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
1John 4:4 Little children, you are of God and have overcome them, because He (who is) in you is greater than he (who is) in the world.
1John 4:5 They are of the world; because of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
1John 4:6 We are of God; the one knowing God hears us. Whoever is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
