    To Judge Spiritual Gifts You Need This

    Spiritual Gifts and manifestations from the Holy Spirit need to be judged by Spiritual people who know both the Word and the moving and operation of the Holy Spirit. Some things are so flaky anyone can spot it and throw it out. But some things enter in a subtle manner so as to fool even the seasoned saints and leadership. If there is a question about any manifestation I always ask the Holy Spirit for the Gift of discerning of spirits. He has obliged me on several occasions. Once I was watching a Christian Television host interview Joshua Mills. I really needed to know if this Gold was a God thing or a deception from the devil. As I was watching the program the gold started to manifest on Joshua. Then I looked at the host and told my wife,"I really don't know about this gold dust but that television host is committing adultery"!About three months later Charisma News did an article about the television host being caught in an adulterous affair. The Gift was in operation but it found that which I was not looking for. I do believe the Gold is real in most cases. But of course it could be faked easily. And most religious people fly into a rage over the mention of it....

    Amen. The gift of the distinguishing between spirits is so needed today. Too many want the easy path and will gladly take it because in the flesh it makes good and proper sense. What a dynamic protector of destiny this is.

    Just a few days ago I drove my wife to visit one of her clients in a small private group home in the countryside. She asked if I had met him and I said "no, never". Due to covid stuff we would speak at the doorway while I dropped off some personal effects of his at the door. After a few moments he stood in the doorway and said "hi pastor". I was hit with a rush of knowledge that he was demon possessed. As we drove off I turned to my wife and said that the man has demons.

    Sometimes you know that you know that you know. Trouble is, you may be the only one to know and others will not see it. You may know just as a note from the Lord to help you not merely to discern but to know how the gift operates in you and how God will be using you. This usually leads to greater purposes and requires the accompanying gift of faith. In the same way we see the Prophet Jeremiah being trained in chap 1 where God says "Jeremiah, what do you see".

    There it is.

    In a most recent 2 year apostolic/pastoral mission, the church had a witch. She would rebuke me for the oddest reasons, none being doctrinal because she could not. She began to sit out in the foyer because the anointing was so strong that she became offended at me and said she was sitting outside the sanctuary because she could not control her mouth. What led to this was several people as I was preaching overheard what she was saying and they were troubled. Keep in mind I came in to the church by invitation and soon discovered the place had no fear of God whatsoever, the result was no wisdom...anywhere amongst the "leaders". Jezebel was thick. Discerning of spirits, what a dynamic and wonderful anointing to walk in when God pours it out on the courageous and humble warriors.

    You were probably their last chance. That church could have had revival...

    I am in new church where we try to sincerely love everyone who comes in the door. Satan sends some to distract for sure. One guy was showing me his official ordination into the Universal Life Church. He said he wanted me to address him as Father and I just avoided him as much as I could. The Lord told me he was going to erupt soon and he did in a major way. I think he got the boot. I would have put him out much sooner. In the book Azusa Street by Frank Bartleman he said when he opened a new church every religious crank in the city came to deter and hinder him. He threw them all out.
