1 John 2 warns of an antichrist spirit and how believers can identify it in a person. What this spirit represents is anything contrary to Jesus and you will find it in false teachers and movements of today. Everything you need to know in order to sift through these spirits abides in the Word of God. The more time we spend in it, the more knowledge we will have to discern.
The Bible says a time is coming when men and women will flock after teachers who introduce unsound doctrine and innovative strategies. People will spend their time listening to these teachings but will never come into the knowledge of the truth. It's why Paul warns us to resist new trends and false teachings. In this powerful sermon, David Wilkerson calls out flashy tactics and instant gratification in the Church in order to point us back to God and to wait on him.
In this hour, when a myriad of voices and false prophets are emerging, we must recognize how imperative it is to have a sound mind, clearly discerning God’s voice and allowing ourselves to be directed by truth. If you choose to turn to God with all your heart, he will begin revealing his Word and his voice to you. “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21).
