Is it Jesus? Or Someone Else?

Warren Smith, Another Jesus Calling

It's so tiresome to be always on guard for spiritual danger!

I've heard that before. Yes, Satan just loves to be so tiresome that we get sick of watching and discerning. At the risk of being (once again) labelled "tiresome," I link you to this interview.

I heard Warren Smith personally a couple of summers ago. His testimony, as that of many other believers formerly enslaved by satanic paganism, is powerful.

God has given the church of the last days these helpful voices, warning, watching, helping.

To scoff at their warning is to put yourself and those you love at risk.

Satan is a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

I certainly would hate to hear Jesus say "I never knew you..."

Are you reading devotionals, or are you reading the Bible? Devotionals are great most of the time. They give fresh insight. They should never supersede your time in the Word of God.

Johanna Michaelson, who wrote "The Beautiful Side of Evil," was led to test the spirit that called himself Jesus. She did it by the Book. She asked it if Christ Jesus was come in the flesh.

The spirit departed from her. It was known to her as Jesus.

If you think you may be admiring or communicating with Jesus in your devotional times, why don't you test him? Make sure.

The Bible warns us that the last church would be full of apostasy. Why should we be surprised when we actually see evidence of this?

Be careful, young ones. I'd rather run the risk of being "tiresome" and discerning, than easy-going and blind.

It seems many older Christians are getting weary of being discerning. We younger believers must pick up the slack and help them to see the dangers of this age. Most of us are more internet savvy, more informed, and more energetic than our elders. Let's respectfully help them to see the spiritual developments that seem to be daily bombarding us now. It's Kingdom work.

For the KING!

Paganism is not satanism. Satanism is a construct of the Christian religion. Pagans do not believe in satan.

I agree that satanism is slightly different from paganism in practice. Belief in Jesus requires accepting His teaching--the Word of God. God says that He is the creator of the Universe. Satan (Anger) fell from heaven in rebellion. The world is now his domain. Satan doesn't care what you believe, as long as it isn't creator God. Paganism is just a form of rebellion against God, the Creator, who revealed Himself in the Bible. Thanks for reading my post.
