TOPIC: REJECT REVELATIONS FROM SATAN    December Friday 20th
Text: Mark 1: 23-25
Key verse: ACTS 16:17 “The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.”
Jesus did not allow Satan to give revelations to men about Him, because Satan is an enemy and a liar. Satan may begin with truth, but end up with a lie, or mix truth with lies to corrupt the truth and destroy men's faith on Christ. Jesus had enough witnesses that would make Him known to men in the world: the Father, the Holy Spirit, the written word, Holy prophets of God, and the mighty works done by Him. It is dangerous to seek the truth about God and His ways from Satan, though he was once an arch angel in heaven.
There are some who subject demon possessed people to critical interview and rely fully on their confessions and revelations. These satanic revelations or confessions promote pride, fear, accusations, and divisions among the believers and the churches of Christ. Never seek satanic revelations, nor be controlled by confessions made by those delivered from the power of darkness. We have enough truths to know in the scriptures and by the Holy Spirit. Prayer warriors must be ware and be warned!
Because of the possibilities of errors in prophetic revelations, all manifestations through such means must pass scriptural tests before they can be received. The following are the scriptural tests that authenticate a prophetic revelation to be the word of God.
(a) It must be true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praise worthy.
(b) It must be consistent with the message and truth of the whole scripture.
(c) The prophetic revelation, the circumstance of the revelation, the life of the person giving the revelation message and previous revelation messages given by him, if any, must be carefully investigated to know whether the message is from God or not.
(d) The message must not be contrary to any portion of the scripture.
(e) The prophetic revelation or testimony of divine revelation must glorify Jesus.
(f) The purpose of the message must be the salvation of souls and the edification, exhortation and comfort of believers.
Thought for the day: Never appreciate fragments of truths in testimonies that distort the truths of scripture
Song for the day:
Bible reading for the day: Micah 4-5; Revelation 11

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
