2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
The Bible did not leave us in the dark regarding the activities of false prophets and preachers especially in this end times. “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before” (Matthew 24:23-25). They are everywhere deceiving the undiscerning with lying wonders. Beloved, test the spirits!

A lot of wolves have now rebranded and repackaged themselves in sheep’s clothing. Their outward appearance is no different from that of a Christian. Some of them look so gentle and easy going. You will think they cannot kill a fly but alas, they are wicked lions looking for who to devour. “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” It now takes discernment and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit to be able to separate the wheat from the tares. This gift of discernment is no longer a luxury but a necessity for every Christian especially in the times in which we found ourselves. You should no longer see or know people after the flesh again. You must seek to know people for who they really are. Beloved, test all spirits.
We are in an age where you cannot take in everything you hear and see hook, line and sinker. You must test the spirit behind the speaker and the so-called miracles they are performing lest you are also deceived. A lot of people have acted on so-called prophecies to their detriment. Some have lost fortunes, money, property, marriages and even their lives to false prophecies. Please, test all spirits!
A lot of single Christian brothers and sisters have been lured into marrying their enemies disguising as fiery and holy people only to be taken by surprise after marriage. Beloved, it is about time we position ourselves to be able to hear God clearly on any matter pertaining to life and destiny. Please, do not move until God has clearly spoken. Test the spirits. May we not be victims of end time deception, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
