Discern the Authentic Works of God!
2 Words in 1
Instruments of Satan
Those who are in the flesh are candidates to be used as instruments of Satan — even if they have served god for many years and may even stand behind pulpits.
The greatest enemies of God and His Gospel are not always sinners, but saints who have become religious rather than Spirit-filled.
Such seem to have a form of piety, but operate from a false source and a spirit of witchcraft.
Like Saul, they may wear the royal robes, but The Spirit has long departed from them.
Discern the Authentic Works of God!
I’ve heard and seen so many people discredit the authentic Works of God, because they, “have seen the same things happen where people are worshipping in other faiths”.
The work of The Holy Spirit is mainly being attacked, because it is seen happening elsewhere also and immediately discredited as a result.
How happy this makes Satan when he can bring God’s People into the bondage of fear and rob them from God’s Blessings for them!
Don’t be so shortsighted to look at what the devil’s people are practicing and then to want to discredit it when you see it being practiced in righteousness among God’s People.
Don’t you realise that he is an imitator and not a creator?
Don’t you know that he takes what God has made as pure and real and uses it for evil, by evil people?
Never look to Satan’s camp to judge what God is doing among His own people and attack it because the devil and his crowd are doing the same things.
Remember Moses and the magicians. Rather realise that when you see them practicing some supernatural gift, that it most likely was in fact originally created by God for His own people’s spiritual growth, and has been hijacked by Satan for the use of evil!

Always be discerning in The Spirit and vigilant.
Don’t allow the devil to rob you of God’s blessings, nor lead you into deception. Try the spirits. Discern the spirits.
That is how you should discern — not simply by what you see!
