Testing the Spirits

Speaker: Pastor Ken Burgess
Series: Family Fellowship #16

Scripture: I John 4:1-6
Date: 07-29-18 Sun. PM

Description: After John contrasts the children of God and the children of Satan, he now contrasts the teachers and teachings of the Spirit of God and the spirit of Satan. Evil spirits are behind false teachers and their teachings. They are to be taken seriously and addressed firmly. The tests John gives are enough to discern between the true and the false. These tests can be applied to any so-called move of God or revival and you can determine if it’s of God or of Satan.
