im, not indorsing Hagin, in posting this, because honestly, i don't know enough about him, but I want to encourage others to do a study on revival manifestation of the past, the welsh revival, and the first and second great awakening, remembering that the gifts of the spirit were not common in those days and people never as paul said in 1cor desired these gifts because they were taught then they ended with the canonization of the bible. So the gift of discerning of spirits was not being exercised, in any real way, and people never learned nor was it taught to cast out unclean spirits, which created a combination of spiritual manifestation, which can look real bad or confusing. . !cor12 10 to another the working of miracles, to another c prophecy, to another d the ability to distinguish between spirits, Don't think for one minute will be able to properly discern different spirits without this gift,so encourage all to seek this gift out in pray till you receive it, so that you will judge right.... please dont assume you have this gift,be 100 percent sure ..i repost..... because God has started his move the early stages of the revival have started this is been prophesied for many years god layed this on my heart about 10 years ago that there was a great awakening coming, and it is to first go down a small stream ,a small tributary , and that he would anoint only a small proportion of the greater church to pray for this great awakening and decree and declare its coming, it's about to come many Christians are going to reject this move of God because it doesn't fit their theological pattern of the way they think God should work and this has happened in every revival the goes back to the day of Pentecost gods not going to move the way most of us think he's , many people are going to call this heresy when it comes don't be one of those people and grieve the holy spirit and stand in judgement against the move of God that's about to come, study the revivals of the past look who was rejecting them there are always church members and denominations that stood against the moves of God because of what they saw is demonic manifestations which were taking place which always take place when God moves his spirit upon people don't be fooled into thinking revival doesn't have manifestations of unclean spirits,its very hard to deal with when so much of the holy spirit moving around, read Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley read their accounts , see what was happening when they preached. They weren't sure what was going on and why there was so many people falling over and there are so many outcries and weeping and wailing and don't be fooled into thinking revivals going to be a gentle move of the spirit, God will be doing his own deliverance ministry, without the help of man, this will be one of the greatest moves of the spirit and it's going to push out at every demon and unclean spirit on a massive scale don't let your theology and your doctrine get in the road of being a part of what's about to come. Don't be so rigid and denominational, gods spirit always works across denominational lines in anyone who's willing to receive his spirit and doesn't want to put gods spirit into a box , God does new things and I think every revival that's came before has always created wonder and signs and confusion, this one will be the same and too many people have labelled the moves of the holy spirit as moves of the Devil I was guilty of doing that myself being partly a calvinist, pray for the gift of the spirit of discernment so that when this move comes you won't reject it and suffer the chastisement and the pain that comes along with grieving and quenching God spirit it's coming very soon study revival now while you have the chance go back through the old books study the the journal of John Wesley study see what was happening is always going to be a mixture of the demonic and the spirit of God in one setting, and when there's a big move of God like that is very hard to control, gods spirit will be in control of casting out demons himself ,spirit of God will make these manifestations common and then people will label the whole move of God as a demonic, don't do it , judge with righteous judgement and make sure you've pulled that plank out of your own eye so that you'll be able to see clear of what's about to come to pass . |
