Understanding the Role of the Holy Spirit

In our journey of faith, we are often guided by the presence and workings of the Holy Spirit. As followers of Christ, it is essential for us to understand the primary duty of the Holy Spirit and discern its manifestations in our lives.

The Holy Spirit, as promised by Jesus, is our advocate, counselor, and guide (John 14:16). One of its fundamental roles is to reveal God's plan to us through various means, including scriptures, dreams, prophecy, and vision. Through these channels, the Holy Spirit illuminates our path and empowers us to walk in alignment with God's will.

However, it is crucial to discern the source of spiritual manifestations. While the Holy Spirit operates to glorify God and align us with His purposes, there are other spirits at work, such as familiar spirits, whose intent is to deceive and lead astray.

How do we discern the workings of the Holy Spirit from those of familiar spirits? The key lies in examining the motives and outcomes of the spiritual experiences we encounter. If the interest of God and His kingdom is at the forefront, if the message aligns with the teachings of Jesus and the principles of love, truth, and righteousness, then it is likely the Holy Spirit at work.

On the other hand, if the spiritual encounter promotes self-interest, contradicts the Word of God, or leads to confusion and chaos, it may be a sign of a familiar spirit in operation. These spirits often seek to gratify human desires, promote ego, and distract us from the path of righteousness.

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be vigilant and discerning in our spiritual walk. We must test every spirit, as instructed in 1 John 4:1, and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Let us cultivate a deep relationship with God through prayer, study of His Word, and fellowship with fellow believers, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth (John 16:13).

May we continue to seek God's will above all else, trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit to reveal His plan for our lives and the world around us.

In Christ's love,
Prince Victor Matthew

How To War With Prophecy

Prophecy is a ministry and ministry is the activity that demand you to SERVE. In other words, the greatest prophet or prophetess is still a servant, that must SERVE the body of Christ. A prophet or prophetess is human like you but given a unique Grace of God to know and see the intention of God about any matters. They only operate through Revelation and the only inspiration of prophecy is THE WORD OF GOD Prophecy is the product of the WORD OF GOD revealing the interest of God about any situation.
