THE SOURCE IS IMPORTANT

James3:11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? NLT

When I was in school, I attended a bible study meeting where an issue was raised about musicians that sing worldly song and also sing gospel music as well. The bible study anchor then opened the scripture above to us and from there we got the answer. A spring of water cannot produce fresh water and bitter water at the same time, that's how it is with the human spirit.

No man can produce different results from thesame source. For example, you can't be performing miracles and prophesying through the HolySpirit and a demonic source at the same time, no it is impossible. I want you to be more careful about the source of certain spiritual operation or manifestations. Not all those that are performing miracles, signs and wonders have their source as the Spirit of God.

There are believers that have a penchant for hearing from prophets or seeking prophetic instructions. Some prophets use magic powders, when they see you, they'll tell you your name and phone number(s). Beware!. Seek after God's word and him alone. When you see a preacher prophesying and his life is not in sync with the word, the manifestations you see are most likely from the devil.

Action point
  • Father, I receive grace to discern the source of spiritual manifestations and not to be a victim of deceit In Jesus Name.
