M any Christians thinks, if demons pretend to be the Holy Spirit and talked to them, they are not save, or something is badly wrong with them. Demons spoken to Jesus some of the times. In addition, demons spoken to the apostles some of the times. The problem is this, as a child of God, we must come to maturity were we can differentiate, and know, when demons are talking to us from when the Holy Spirit is talking to us. One Christian woman was in her bed, there was a thirty-eight degree cold outside, a spirit spoken to her and told her to get up out of her warm bed and go outside to sprinkle water on her car, as protection for the car. The Holy Spirit can make rainfall. He can flood your car not just sprinkle it. He does not need to wake up somebody and sent them out into the cold to do that. Sometime I have to wonder what kind of Holy Spirit people listening to. How come their Holy spirit never told them how to get healing from their long and troublesome ailment?
Some Christians regarded every voice that they heard to be the voice of God, and they feel much buffed up, and privilege to be spoken to by God. Poor foolish people do not even know that it was Satan and his demons speaking to them.
If what you were told to do by a spirit, is contrary to the scripture, it was not the Holy Spirit speak to you but, Satan or one of his demons. God cannot go back on his word, and the Holy Spirit cannot tell you to do anything that is contrary to the scriptures.
If The Pastor Is Speaking Contrary To Scriptures.
Many times, I heard pastors preaches and say the scriptures never told woman to love their husband. It only told men to love their wives. This is a lie from hell, and the pastor is not hearing from God and is ignorant of the scriptures. Look at Titus 2:4.
Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Ephes. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Col. 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Getting a Cooperate Agreement
Numbers 30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; Numbers 30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. Numbers 30:8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the Lord shall forgive her.
If you are, a married woman and a spirit woke you up in the dead of night in winter, and command you to go outside and sprinkled water on your car for protection. In addition, if your husband disagrees, it is not the will of God. It Was not the spirit of God, but a satanic spirit trying to gain control of your mind. Once a Christians accept Satan’s voice for the voice of the lord, that Christian faith will end in the trash pile soon. When will Christians stop listening to hear a verbal voice and a voice that speak to their mind? Look to the scriptures.
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant?
Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are Scottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
How To Know The Genuine Holy Spirit.
Every believer has the Holy Spirit in a measure when born again (Romans 8:14-16; Galatians 4:6). In fact, "if any man has not the Spirit" he does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). This Spirit of sonship or even some gift of the Spirit may be received without having the Spirit baptism or the fullness of the Spirit (notes on
The Genuine Holy Spirit Comfort The Saints.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
This is one of the reasons why he comes into our lives, to keep us from fall into depression. He will also bring back the words of Christ to your remembrance.
The Genuine Holy Spirit Comes To Make Jesus Looks Good.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Sometime Only Jesus Can Help Us
Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:11 (KJV) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
