Discern Whether It Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth

In the name of the Lord Jesus to share:

According to Bible, the Holy Spirit can be seen and can be heard.

When Peter received the Holy Spirit, Peter said: "I will pour out what you see and hear." What can you hear? It is a dialect. What can I see? It is the body vibration.

Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. (Acts 2:33)

Why can we hear and see the Holy Spirit? Because the sign of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues and body vibration. This is like wind blowing.

Jesus told us clearly: wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. Everyone who is born of the Spirit is the same. Receiving the Holy Spirit is like being blew by the wind. How do we know that typhoon is coming? We can see the vibration of the things being blew and hear the sound of the wind as well. Can be seen and heard is the sign of receiving the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told us not to marvel what He told us. The earthly things have been witnessed. If we don’t believe the earthly things He already told us, how will we believe the heavenly things?

Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (John 3:7-8,11-12)

On the day of Pentecost, the disciples received the Holy Spirit, just like being blew by the wind. How did you know it? They knew it by hearing speaking in tongues and seeing body vibration. Receiving the Holy Spirit can be seen and can be heard.

Peter said that speaking in tongue and body vibration were not because of drunk. What do a drunk people look like? He looks like body is vibrating and tongue is ambiguous. The sign of receiving the Holy Spirit is divided tongues as of fire and body vibrating.

Paul said that speaking in tongue was not out of mind. If the whole church comes together in one place and all speak with tongues, and there comes in those who are unbelievers or uninformed, they will say that people in the church are out of mind. What do people out of mind look like? They also speak language that others don’t understand and shake their bodies. However, receiving the Holy Spirit is not out of mind, it can be controlled, because the Spirit of the Prophet is subject to the Prophet.

Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? (I Corinthians 14:23)

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. (Acts 2:2-3)

Someone asks that if the dumb who receives the Holy Spirit can speak in tongues? Yes, as long as he/she has tongue, he/she can speak in tongues. Because speaking in tongues is tongue being divided as fire, not guttural and not labial.

The dumb have tongues too. When they receive the Holy Spirit, their tongues are divided as of fire. The dumb also have bodies, their bodies will vibrate too when they receive the Holy Spirit.

Dose body vibrating mean receiving the Holy Spirit? It’s not necessarily.

Body vibrating could be because of being touched by the Holy Spirit.

Receiving the Holy Spirit must have sign of speaking in tongues.

Will demons pretend to speak in tongues? Yes.

We have ever casted out demons for Charismatic church. They think what they speak is speaking in tongues, however in fact, they are demon-possessed. Thank God. When the demons were casted out, they received the Holy Spirit. God grants the Holy Spirit through His truth. Falling on the ground is not the work of the Holy Spirit. Being possessed by evil spirits, people will fall to the ground without self-control. The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is self-control.

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (I Corinthians 14:32)

There are also cases of evil spirits pretending to be Jesus, the Father, the Lord, servants of God, prophets, good men, and teachers who teaches Bible. We experienced such kind of cases during these two years, and several cases happened this year. Thank God. When we prayed in the name of Jesus to cast out demons, they were driven out, and then people got peace.

Not only in the name of Jesus to cast out demons, we also need to tell people the word of God. If they don’t understand the word of God, demons will continue to enter into them and the situation will become even worse than before. Therefore, everybody of us need to let the word of God dwell in us richly.

There was a truth seeker experienced that the evil spirits pretended to be his father who died already, and the evil spirits persuaded his mother to believe in Jesus.

Demons are guileful, crafty, fierce and malicious more than lions, wolfs and vipers.

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. (Acts 16:16-18)

This slave girl was the servant of Satan, and demons lived on her. She seemed to help evangelize and help the workers of Jesus, and what she said seemed very good. However actually, it was the work from demons.

Paul did not respond at first but annoyed later because she did it for many days. Then Paul commanded demons in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

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. (I John 4:1)

to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. (I Corinthians 12:10)

Some people said that they were hit by the Holy Spirit then fell on the ground. Was it the Holy Spirit? No, it was not the Holy Spirit.

One of the fruits beared from the Holy Spirit is self-control. There are no examples in Bible that people was hit by the Holy Spirit to fall on the ground. The examples of falling on the ground were demon-possessed, just like people who was a medium of evil spirits.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Some people say that they speak in tongues but like whisper and mutter. Is it from the Holy Spirit? No , it is not from the Holy Spirit.

The whisper and mutter, or sharp and harsh voice come from demons or the disturbance of demons.

The power of the Holy Spirit is like the sound of many waters and the voice of a great multitude, with strength and power which hit heart. Of course, speaking in tongues can also be soft because we can control the volume by ourselves.

And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? (Isaiah 8:19)

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! (Revelation 19:6)

Some people can translate speaking in tongues but the translated words are not in line with the truth of Bible. Is it from the Holy Spirit? No, it is not from the Holy Spirit.

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. (I John 4:3)

Some people say that speaking in tongues can't be self-controlled. Is it true? No, it’s not true. Speaking in tongues can be self-controlled.

At first, when people receive the Holy Spirit, he/she might be very joyful and cannot stop immediately. In fact, it is because he/she is not willing to stop.

Speaking in tongue is self-controllable, that means, you can speak when you want to speak, and you can stop when you want to stop. In Bible it says: the spirits of the prophet is subject to the Prophet.

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (I Corinthians14:32)

Hallelujah. Thank God. Amen.
