How do you test the spirits behind something to know if it is God or if it is not? I realize discernment is one way. Are there any others? Can comeone fill me in?
Thanks!

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They will inevitabley be messed up in one of these area:Jenndiggy said:
1. Jesus is the Son of God and Christ.
2. They will deny in some way the fact that Jesus came in the flesh and rose from the dead.
3. They will have difficulty confessing Jesus is their Lord.
Overall they will have trouble with the gospel. When pressed, an evil spirit will curse Jesus, refuse that He is their Lord, and become very agitated when you talk about the blood of Jesus.

Even the devils believe in God and tremble. Even they will mention the name of Jesus or claim to be Him. But they cannot hold that vision for very long. You will notice some inconsistencies. The vision will change or become absurd.
Discernment is essential.
If you ask the vision to pray the Lord's Prayer with you, the devil cannot do it. If you say "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." the demon will vanish.
Once many years ago, I had a terrifying vision where the devil was hitting me. I cried out three times, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. The third time I said that Holy Name of Jesus, I was able to reach over and turn on the light. Before that time I had been paralyzed with fear.
Hope this helps.
Yours in Christ our God,
Elizabeth
