Recent news in Jamaica has highlighted how important it is to test the spirits. A cult group which basked in evil and deception has been rumbled after a member managed to alert the authorities. This was not a church of God. Please keep the members and the families of those who lost loved ones in prayer. May the remaining members discover the real God and no longer be deceived. So much healing is going to be needed.
Jamaica is known to have a church on every corner. It also is known to have obeah and witchcraft practices which is frowned upon but exists. In what is called the western world. Such practices have shown an increase as more people move away from God centred beliefs.
Read and listen to the Bible yourself. Study it learn it and invite the Holy Spirit in to be your guide.
As you become more familiar with the Word of God certain things become easier to recognise and see and understand.
1 John 4:1-3
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
Remember Jesus became the sacrificial lamb and no more blood sacrifices are required nor needed. God has never and never will require a human to become a sacrifice. Jesus already paid the price for our sins. No more bloodshed.
John 1:29-31
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.”
