Beware lest you be deceived by a spirit claiming to be the Holy Spirit

1. The Spirit Within Us

   Jesus : "... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." [John 6:63] Jesus : "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled with the Holy Spirit." [Mt 5:6]

   Therefore, if you walk the teachings of Jesus, say,

   Jesus : "Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." [Mt 5:37]

   then you have the spirit of truth. But that is part of the Holy Spirit.

   Or, if you walk the teaching of Jesus,

   Jesus : "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." [Mt 5:7]

   and your heart is full of mercy to your neighbors, then you have the spirit of mercy. But that is also part of the Holy Spirit.

   Spirits within us may be compared to "software" in a computer. You can have one "software", or many "softwares", or none -- depending on whether you walk ALL the teachings of Jesus or not, including the teaching of "hunger and thirst after righteousness."

   
   
   

2. The HOLY SPIRIT outside

   HOLY SPIRIT permeates the Universe.

   Our earth was created by it. Everything we see -- sea, sky, fish, flowers and trees, animals, human, ..., and things we do not see -- angels, ..., were created by it.

   It perceives the thinking of all man on earth.  No one can hide his thought/action from it.

   It is self-eternal, no beginning nor end, and it does not change.

   This HOLY SPIRIT can manifest itself through the Father, Jehovah. Once manifested itself through Jehovah, it created a duplicate of Himself, Jesus. Jesus was created before Jehovah created the earth and the angels.

   True, Jehovah, Jesus, or angels sent by them can speak to us, but beware of fallen angels, evil spirits, ..., they too, can speak to us, and they never reveal themselves as Satan etc., but always pretend to be angels of light, or the HOLY SPIRIT.

   
   
   

3. It is no excuse, during THE GREAT JUDGEMENT, that you defend yourself by saying, I did this wrong because you (GOD) told me to do so.

   You will NEVER pass the judgement if you have this attitude.

   Many Nazi soldiers killed people on order. During the Nuremburg trial after WWII, they defended themselves by saying that they were following orders, but the world did not accept this defense.

   Similarly, Jesus will never accept this defense during the GREAT JUDGEMENT. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR ACTIONS -- YOU, YOURSELF ONLY. YOU CANNOT SHED RESPONSIBILITY ONTO GOD, ONTO JESUS, OR OTHERS, BY SAYING "I FOLLOW ORDER", "SOMEONE TOLD ME TO DO THAT".

   Very often, GOD will test us whether we walk the teachings resolutely, or have the Nazi-soldier-attitude.

   In [Deut 13], Moses also told us that GOD would test us, whether we follow "prophets", "dreams", ..., or walk His teachings resolutely.

   Have you read the story of Balaam in [Number 22]?   GOD told Balaam to go with the messengers sent by the king of Moab, yet at the same time, GOD sent an angel with a sword, intending to kill Balaam on the way.

   
   
   

   THEREFORE YOU MUST EXERCISE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT, WHEN YOU HEAR VOICES CLAIMING TO BE THE HOLY GHOST, OR IDEAS COME INTO YOU MIND, OR AN UNSEEN SPIRIT DIRECTS YOU TO DO THIS OR THAT. YOU MUST EXERCISE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT, AND USE YOUR BRAIN TO THINK OVER, WHETHER YOU SHOULD DO THAT OR NOT, BECAUSE, DURING THE GREAT JUDGEMENT, YOU, YOURSELF ALONE, MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR ACTS.

   
   
   

   JEHOVAH : "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." [Ex 20:6] JESUS : "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me." [John 14:23-24]
