Devotion (The Trumpeter):
Beware of misleading spirits

 1 Timothy 4:1KJV

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The Holy Ghost speaks out spokenly that in our days, there will be misleading and

seducing spirits, they will work through people purporting to be ministers of the

Gospel to render some Christians apostate.

The one you have been listening to, what spirit is he operating by? Is it the Holy

Ghost? Or a devil?

Such people will be in the church. You are not going to find them outside but

inside the church house. They will be so endearing and soft spoken but inwardly

are wolves. Be careful!

For instance, the doctrine, which says that since Jesus has paid for the future,

present and past sins, the Christian living in sin doesn’t matter, is a doctrine of

devils.

They are called seducing spirits. How do evil women seduce men to cheat on their

wives? They do that by presenting to these men something attractive to their eyes,

thus through the lust of their flesh. This is how these spirits also operate.

They present a doctrine attractive to the lust of the flesh, a carnal Christian will

always be happy and excited with a doctrine that encourages him or her to fulfill

the pleasures of the flesh but this is the doctrine that if some Christians are not

careful, will take them to hell.

Beware of seducing spirits!

Jesus told John of the deep secrets of satan. Yes! satan has his own doctrine.

Now, when Paul says that some will depart from the faith, it doesn’t mean that

these folks will not necessarily be found in the church house. They will be coming

to church, you may even find them as instrumentalists or part of the worship team

but their walk and conduct in life will be in sin. He abides in fornication whilst

coming to church. He is cohabiting whilst playing the drums. Such are departing

from the faith.

There is a difference between the Christian, who falls to sin but picks himself up,

correcting his conduct and the one who pretends to be a Christian whilst abiding

in sin. The latter loves sin and that by which a man is overcome, to that will he be

in bondage to.

Be careful of misleading doctrines! Be careful!

God bless you!

Confession

I believe with my heart that Jesus is the very Son of God that He came to die for me and was raised up by God the Father. I confess Him as the Lord of my life from this day forward. Hallelujah! I am born again.
