B efore the day of pentecost Satan only have one Jesus to deal with. On the day of pentecost, one hundred and twenty people were filled with the Holy Spirit, thus giving them the same power that Jesus had, which enable them to do greater things than what Jesus himself had done.

John 14:12 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Now satan have one hundred and twenty people to concentrate his effort on. The baptism of the holy spirit came to give belivers power to propogate the gospel, power to live the new life, Satan saw that his kingdom was under attack, and could not take it any more.

He find a way to fake the baptism of the holy Spirit, and is now cashing in on it. Many times in Churches I saw people fall to the ground, speaking in tongues, spitting upon themselves. But it is not every time these things happen it is of the Holy Ghost. Sometime it is just another one of Satan's tricks. The lord did not turn up, it was wild fire, and strange fires.

1 Kings 19:11-12 (KJV) And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: [12] And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW THE OTHER:

You cannot know what is evil, until you have an idea of what good suppose to be. You cannot know when demonic spirits are faking the presence of the lord, until you know what the real presence of the lord IS.

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME:

Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

All these fruits or qualities was already in your life from birth, but they remain dormant. you and I love only those who love us. We love our friends, our pets and all who love us, At the new birth, or at conversion, these fruits were divinely activated and came alive. When we received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, these fruits were taking to a new realm, and as became the very evidence of a life that has the genuine spirit of God in it.

Luke 6:32-35 (KJV) For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [33] And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [34] And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

LIVES CHANGES:

Acts 10:28 (KJV) And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Husband and wife that was sleeping head and tail for months, confess and went home living in peace. People what owe bills for months and refuses to pay it, pay up. People who tell lies on others and have them in Jail, speak the truth, so the prisoners could be release. Great joys fill that life and that city. When the genuine holy spirit came, the spiritual chains that bind us fell off.

Luke 4:18 (KJV) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

1 Samuel 10:26 (KJV) And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.

GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY:

Acts 8:5-8 (KJV) Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. [6] And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. [7] For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. [8] And there was great joy in that city.

NEEDS TAKING CARE OFF:

Acts 2:44-47 (KJV) And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. [46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

(1) A DEMONIC SPIRITS FAKING THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD:

1 John 4:1-4 (KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

SATAN LEARN A NEW TRICK SINCE THIS VERSE WAS WRITTEN:

[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. [4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

YOU WILL NEED THE GIFT OF DISCERNINF OF SPIRITS:

1 Cor. 12:10 (KJV) To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

DEMONS CAN ONLY TAKE UP THOSE THAT ARE IN REBELLIONS AGAINS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Isaiah 29:10 (KJV) For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Romans 11:8 (KJV) (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

THE CONDITIONS CAME ABOUT BECAUSE:

Isaiah 29:13 (KJV) Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Matthew 13:13 (KJV) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

1 John 4:1 a[Beloved] Greek: agapetos ), dearly beloved: worthy of love. Translated "beloved" 47 times (1 John 4:1,7,11; Matthew 3:17; Matthew 12:18; Romans 1:7; Jude 1:3; etc.); "well-beloved" (Matthew 12:6; Romans 16:5; 3 John 1:1); "dearly beloved" (Romans 12:19; 1 Cor. 10:14; etc.); and "dear" (Ephes. 5:1; Col. 1:7; 1 Thes. 2:8). b[spirit] Greek: pneuma ), the equivalent to the Hebrew: ruwach "Pneuma" Is Used of: 1.God as Spirit (John 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17) 2.Christ (1 Cor. 6:17; 1 Cor. 15:45) 3.The Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18,20; Matthew 3:11,16—altogether of Him over 240 times) 4.Christ's personal spirit (Mark 2:8; Mark 8:12; Luke 2:40; John 11:33; John 19:30) 5.Angels (Hebrews 1:7,14; Psalm 104:4) 6.Spirits of men (Matthew 5:3; 1 Cor. 2:11; 1 Cor. 6:20; 1 Thes. 5:23; Hebrews 4:12; Hebrews 12:23) 7.Evil spirits (Matthew 8:16; Matthew 10:1; Matthew 12:43; Acts 8:7; Acts 16:16; Rev. 16:13; Rev. 18:2) 8.The resurrection body (1 Cor. 15:44). c[try] Greek: dokimazo ), test (note a, pt. 2, §2 Cor. 13:5). The reason here given is because of many false teachers going abroad (cp. note a, §Matthew 7:16). Seven Ways to Test False Prophets: 1.By their confession of Jesus (1 John 4:2-3) 2.Their relationship with the world (1 John 4:5; 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:4) 3.How they receive Christianity (1 John 4:6) 4.Their attitude toward the commandments of God (1 John 4:6; 1 John 3:20-24; John 14:15) 5.Love of the brethren (1 John 4:7-21; 1 John 3:11-16; John 13:34-35; John 15:12-15) 6.The indwelling Holy Spirit (1 John 4:4-6) 7.The Word of God (1 John 4:6; 1 John 5:10; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Cor. 4:4) d[false prophets are gone out into the world], §2 Peter 2:1; note, §Matthew 7:16.

Spirit Hebrew: ruwach ), occurs 378 times and is rendered spirit 232 times. In the remaining 146 times it is rendered 16 different ways. The Greek word for spirit in the N.T. is pneuma ). It occurs 385 times and corresponds to ruwach above. The primary meaning of both words is invisible force. The spirit of man is the intellect, will, mind, conscience, and other invisible faculties that make him a free moral agent and a rational being. Both the soul and spirit of man are immortal (see Twenty-five Proofs of Immortality of the Soul). They are so closely related that it is hard to distinguish the fine points of difference between them, but there is a difference. This is clear from 1 Thes. 5:23; Hebrews 4:12. In general we can say that the spirit is that which knows (1 Cor. 2:11), and the soul is that which feels.

the Nature of Man.) Both comprise the inner man which leaves the body at death (James 2:26). The Word "Spirit" Is Used Of: 1.God's personal spirit (Psalm 139:7; Psalm 143:10; Isaiah 30:1; Isaiah 40:13) 2.The Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Isaiah 48:16; Isaiah 61:1; Zech. 12:10) 3.Angels (Psalm 104:4) 4.Cherubim (Ezekiel 1:12-21; Ezekiel 10:17) 5.Demons (Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:6) 6.Other spirit beings (Zech. 6:5) 7.New nature of the child of God (1 Cor. 6:17) 8.Man's personal spirit (Numbers 16:22; Numbers 27:16; Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 20:27; Proverbs 25:28; Eccles. 3:21) 9.Judgment of God Is Translated As: (1)Blast (Exodus 15:8; 2 Kings 19:7; Isaiah 37:7) (2)Breath (Genesis 6:17; Genesis 7:15,22; 2 Samuel 22:16; Psalm 18:15) (3)Spirit (Isaiah 4:4; Isaiah 28:6; Isaiah 34:16) 10.Spiritual gifts or invisible endowments of power (Genesis 41:38; Exodus 28:3; Exodus 31:3; Exodus 35:31; Numbers 11:17,25-29; Numbers 24:2; Numbers 27:18; Deut. 34:9; Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 32:15; Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 61:1; Ezekiel 2:2; Ezekiel 3:24) 11.The resurrected body (1 Cor. 15:45) 12.Wind (Ezekiel 37:9) 13.Mind (Genesis 26:35; Proverbs 29:11; Ezekiel 11:5; Ezekiel 20:32; Daniel 5:20) 14.Courage (Joshua 2:11) 15.Anger (Judges 8:3) 16.The whole person (Psalm 77:3,6; Psalm 106:33; Ezekiel 21:7; Daniel 2:1,3; Malachi 2:15,16) 17.Temperature (Genesis 3:8) 18.Whirlwind (Ezekiel 1:4) 19.Windy (Psalm 55:8) 20.Air (Job 41:16) 21.Tempest (Psalm 11:6) 22.Quarters (winds, 1 Chron. 9:24) The Spirit of Man Can Be: 1.Troubled (Genesis 41:8) 2.Revived (Genesis 45:27) 3.In anguish (Exodus 6:9) 4.Made willing (Exodus 35:21) 5.Jealous (Numbers 5:14,30) 6.Hardened (Deut. 2:30) 7.Sorrowful (1 Samuel 1:15) 8.Stirred up (2 Chron. 36:22) 9.Committed to God (Psalm 31:5) 10.Guileless (Psalm 32:2) 11.Contrite (Psalm 34:18) 12.Broken (Psalm 51:17) 13.Overwhelmed (Psalm 77:3) 14.Steadfast (Psalm 78:8) 15.Provoked (Psalm 106:33) 16.Hasty (Proverbs 14:29) 17.Haughty (Proverbs 16:18) 18.Humble (Proverbs 16:19) 19.Ruled (Proverbs 16:32) 20.Wounded or hurt (Proverbs 18:14) 21.Vexed (Eccles. 1:14) 22.Patient (Eccles. 7:8) 23.Constrained (Job 32:18) 24.Searched (Psalm 77:6) 25.Made to keep secrets (Proverbs 11:13) 26.In error (Isaiah 29:24) 27.Proud (Eccles. 7:8) 28.Heavy (Isaiah 61:3) 29.Made to learn (Job 20:3; Job 32:8) 30.Increased in knowledge (1 Cor. 2:11)

(1) GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING:

1 Tim. 4:13-16 (KJV) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. [14] Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. [15] Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. [16] Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Daniel 9:2 (KJV) In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

Joshua 1:8 (KJV) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

(2) GIVE ATTENDANCE TO EXHORTATION:

1 Cor. 14:3 (KJV) But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Acts 13:15 (KJV) And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

(3) GIVE ATTENDANCE TO DOCTRINE:

Romans 6:17 (KJV) But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Romans 16:17 (KJV) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

(4) DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR GIFT:

2 Tim. 1:6 (KJV) Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

2 Tim. 1:6 a[Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands] Wherefore—on account of your true faith and consecration, I remind you to stir up the gift of God that is in you. Be faithful even in afflictions according to the power of God in you (2 Tim. 1:6-8). The gift is referred to as a fire, which, if not frequently stirred up and more fuel added, will go out. The Greek for "stir up" is anazopureo to kindle up the fire; to add fresh fuel to it. Only here. From this it is clear that gifts can be neglected, as Paul warns in 1 Tim. 4:14. If this happens, if they are not properly used or replenished with continued grace and power from the Holy Spirit anointing they will become powerless and useless and thus fail in their purpose. This is why people need a constant supply of the Spirit—many fillings, as we see in Acts. This is why Jesus Himself had to live in prayer and receive a constant supply of the Holy Spirit (note, Luke 3:21). This is what Paul prayed for and expected in Phil. 1:19; Ephes. 3:14-21.

2 Peter 1:12 (KJV) Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Romans 1:11 (KJV) For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Psalm 63:6 (KJV) When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Psalm 119:15 (KJV) I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

(6) GIVE YOURSELF WHOLLY TO THEM:

1 Thes. 5:23 (KJV) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(7) TAKE HEED TO YOURSELF AND THE DOCTRINE:

Exodus 34:12 (KJV) Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

Mark 4:24 (KJV) And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Luke 11:35 (KJV) Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

Luke 12:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Hebrews 7:23 (KJV) And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

Hebrews 13:1 (KJV) Let brotherly love continue.

A CALL TO COME:

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Isaiah 53:5-6 (KJV) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
