Its very important for we as Christians to test every spirit we come across! Jesus Christ told us in John 15 that He is the true vine. This should send us a message of caution. When He said that he was telling us also that there are false vines out there.
I could go on and give so many references from the scriptures where Jesus warned us to be careful of false prophets. It breaks my heart to see the way people are being led astray by men posing to be servants of God. Whay makes it worse is that even christians are falling victims.
Sometimes i ask myself if such people read the scriptures and follow the teachings of Our Lord. Do they not see the warnings? Or maybe some don't even bother anymore to dig deep into the Word. They are too carried away all the signs and wonders that they forget to test all the spirits. They take everything that comes to them hook, line and sincker without even checking back with the scriptures to see if its the truth. I mean how can anyone believe a "pastor" who tells them that they would have to sleep with them first before a certain spirit in them could be cast out? Its beyond me! I can't even imagine such a despicable scenario but it's happening.
How did we get here? Even with all the warnings Jesus gave us in His Word, people are still falling victims to the deceptions, lies and falsehoods of devil agents masquerading about as pastors. The answer is not far fetched. People are no longer reading and paying attention to the Word of God. People are very much carried away with the signs and wonders that they just believe everything that they are told. They forget that it is The Holy Spirit that gives inspiration to men and He will never give any revelation that is contrary to the Word of God. Its time we opened our eyes!! Its time to start applying the word.
