1) Prophesy in the name of Jesus.
2) Driving out demons in the name of Jesus.
3) Miracles in the name of Jesus.The Devil uses the deceived Servants of God in these three areas.
This is recorded in Matthew 7:22
(Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’)
God tells us to Test all Prophecies, exorcisms, Miracles to see whether they are from and of God ( 1 John 4:1). Let us not run behind Men who advertise themselves as Men with Healing Gifts, Prophetic gifts and Miracle gifts. Let us be very careful like the Bereans. Not all who do miracles using the name of Jesus are Servants of Jesus. Even the Devil can masquerade himself as an angel of light.
I would dissassociate and expose anyone who teaches and preaches a different doctrine contradictory to the Scripture, even if he performs miracles everyday ~ Martin Luther
The Bible strongly advocates not to receive any prophecy without JUDGING the prophecy. (1 Cor 14:29). Let us not accept any prophecy without weighing it . (judging it and testing it with scriptures.)
Devil can prophecy; He can even act as though he is driving out demons and performing miracles. But He can never offer the real Salvation. Many present day Great Miracle workers in the eyes of men are nothing but workers of evil. Jesus already warned about them in Matthew 7:23
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Jesus is very clear in saying that HE NEVER KNEW THEM at all. The miracle workers were themselves deceived.
So if you are a preacher operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, please check with God whether you posses the Holy Spirit or whether you are possesed by alternative spirits.There are real Prophets of God, There are real Healing Ministers of God and there are real Miracle workers of God. They give glory to God. When people praise them and give them the Glory, they would tear their shirts like Paul.
We have direct access to our Father in Heaven.Run behind Jesus; Not behind Deceivers.
