But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you. (John 14:26, The Passion Translation)
You cannot believe right unless you are hearing right.
Holy Spirit is the one who will give testimony as to whether what we are hearing or reading is truth.
There are many false teachers and teachings out there and whether or not you believe that the pastor/teacher you are listening to is speaking only the Gospel truth.
You must ask and confirm with Holy Spirit so that you are confident that you are not being deceived.
Even when I am teaching I tell those listening “Don’t take my word for it, ask Holy Spirit if it be true”
Paul wrote these words of wisdom to the Thessalonians:
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, New King James Version)
Yes, the Father has blessed us with Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist and Shepherd teachers.
Yet, let us remember that the enemy operates under the system of counterfeiting, so we must seek Holy Spirit, who can not be deceived, as to whether what we are being taught is truth or not.
The good news is that under the guidance of Holy Spirit we will mature into the place via His training to where we will begin to listen to only what the Father is saying in the Spirit, as did our Lord. For then what is not of the Father will be clearly seen as false.
Now is the hour that the Remnant must rise up, the world is a ripe harvest field, let us gather the generation we have been blessed to be part of in History.
