JUDGING SOMEONE VS NEEDED DISCERNMENT

1 John 4: 1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Tim Lahaye(((The Popular encyclopedia of Bible Prophecy))):<<GREAT BOOK, RICH IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST Good works:((((productive works in Christ)))) They are produced by the Believer who is in fellowship with God and who is controlled by the Holy Spirit.

Bad Works ((((works in the flesh)))) These deeds are produced in the in the energy of the Flesh, apart from Power of the Spirit. Bad works also spring from wrong motives.



I am going to start out bold, working for the Lord apart from His Spirit is dangerous
and can lead to very unstable anything goes people. Someone who thinks they are going to heaven and there is no requirement to get there other than carry the label of a Christian and get a psychological mind set there is no rules and they can gain heaven no matter what they do. Common sense says this mind set produces lawless
unstable people who use that excuse in their lawless actions.

God's plan isn't to burden us with rules and make us walk as robots, but there is a simple requirement that we must receive the Holy Spirit to mold and shape our consciences in Christ. That's the reason Paul said we become the law, because God does all the work through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, if you knew God you would love me. The people who loved God, loved Jesus because they knew God in His Spirit and Jesus being God His shell was anointed in His Grace.


My point is this, discernment is a must and without discernment we set ourselves up for just being gullible followers of God only knows who some con or radical that will
destroy your faith rather than build it up. When it comes to my faith, I make is personal between me and the Lord. I take to heart messages anointed in the Spirit for encouragement and growth. But as far as following someone or putting them on the same level as God is not happening this way. If the Holy Spirit doesn't testify for someone anything towards my faith I don't listen to.




If someone is in ministry and if they are getting paid to present Christ to people and do not abide in the Holy Spirit........................ what are they doing?? and what is the cause and effect of that action?? If someone comes to Christ apart from the Holy Spirit, basically its knowledge with no evidence or reality of God. And as the Bible says in the parable of the sower they fall away in short time. So people in ministry and the reason for the anointing is allowing Christ to fall on someone and give them that choice and reality of God for salvation or not. Anything else is selling Jesus without Jesus and how can the Personal relationship with Christ without that??



The Holy Spirit is the foundation and Rock of the Christian faith. Without the Spirit active in our lives we are separated from God and really in need to learn how to say a couple of simple prayers a day for that to stay in good conscience to God. Also with the Spirit active in our lives we can have confidence in our faith when we are slandered, misunderstood and judged my mean people we can have assurance and confidence God loves us regardless of what people say. Religion without conviction
is worthless, and God has given Christians His Spirit to give us that with no personal efforts only asking and receiving. Simple Salvation, gotten find ground and root in the Spirit of Grace so people can see and find a LOVE IN CHRIST WE ALL NEED DAILY.
