Spirit of Truth – Healing

The purpose of this teaching is to inform the believer in Jesus Christ of the dangers and the reality of

deception in these last days. The Lord is calling His bride to holiness, delivering her from self deception, and the deceitfulness of sin, and any mixture of truth

and error. The Holy Spirit is releasing the spirit of burning and fire that continues to purify the bride to

walk as Jesus walked in all humility, and godly character, representing the Father! He is bringing

revelation of His manifest glory with great acceleration. Jesus desires that the church walk in the

fullness of the Holy Spirit, and that the bride would behold Him in all His glory and walk in that fullness. He is drawing the bride to encounter Him through

deep intimacy, love, and revelation of His heart. The glory of God is being revealed both through the written word of God, and through His Spirit of

Revelation as never before. In this hour we must be a people who are able to discern the times and seasons,

and know that as God releases more of ‘heaven on earth’, the enemy will mimic the truth with false and

lying signs, power, and wonders. God wants the church to be bold, fearless, radical laid down lovers, who move in heavenly places in Christ, knowing they have full access to His throne, and radiate His very nature, and demonstrate His power, through signs,

miracles and wonders by the SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized

will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs shall follow those

who believe: IN My name they will cast out demons; and they will speak with new tongues;

they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means harm them;

they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” Mark 16:15-18

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with

you, and will be in you.” John 14:16-17

His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak and He will disclose what is to come. And He shall glorify Me; for He will take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He shall take

of Mine and disclose it you.” John 16:13-15

Heb. 4:12-13

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to

the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and

intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to

the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”

“LOVE NEVER FAILS”

I Cor. 13

“I have trusted you with the gifts of my Spirit. You have known my anointing in your preaching and writing, but you have known it much less than you realize. Rarely do you

really see with My eyes, or hear with My ears, or understand with my heart. Without Me, you can do nothing that will benefit my Kingdom or promote My gospel. You have

fought in My battles and you have even seen the top of mountain. You have learned to

shoot arrows of truth and hit the enemy. You have learned a little about using My sword, but love is my greatest weapon. Love will

never fail. Love will be the power that destroys the works of the devil. And love will

be what brings My Kingdom. Love is the banner over My army. Under this banner you must now fight.” The Final Quest, Rick Joyner, p.

Mat. 7 –

Judge not lest we be judged

Judge -

to make a careful guess about; estimate: We judged the distance to be about four miles. (of the ancient Hebrew judges) to govern.

–verb (used without object) to act as a judge; pass judgment: No one would judge between us. to form an opinion or estimate: I have heard the evidence and will judge accordingly. to make a mental judgment. Dictionary.com

Hypocrite -0ne who would judge others in their sins, or try to free others from their sin/bondage, but refuse to deal with their own first.

Promise - when we deal with our own sin first our eyes will be opened to see ‘clearly’ to help others. We are told not to give what is holy and precious to us in the Lord to those who have NO desire to receive. But encourages us to ask, seek, knock and believe that the Lord desires to give us far beyond what we could ask for or imagine. God is a good and loving Father that desires to give HOLY SPIRIT to those who ask Him.God will not lead us into deception or harm if we ask for the HOLY SPIRIT.Golden rule:

However we want others to treat us, so treat them.9

Gate is wide and broad that leads to destruction – MANY enter by it.

Beware of false prophets- come in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.We will know them by their fruits.It is all about source.

But, Lord, Lord....“and then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness.’”

Those who keep His word – those who hear and act, are likened unto a house built upon the rock that cannot be removed.

And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end shall be saved.”“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

Deception of wickedness“”and with all the deception of wickedness for those

who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved [sozo]. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”

Anti-Christ – I John 2:19-29

“Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that anti-christ is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.“these things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.”

Another gospel –False apostles - II Cor. 11

“but I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the

simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.” II Cor. 11:3-4“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.” II Cor. 11:13-15

False Prophets and Teachers – II Pet. 2

“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words…” II Pet. 2:1-2“Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for in the same manner their fathers used to treat the false prophets.” Luke 6:26“”Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they be from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” I John 4:1

“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

Testing the spirits:

“The Holy Spirit taught me in the late ‘80’s to test the spirits that I heard by commanding the spirit that spoke to me to tell me, ‘Do you call Jesus Christ Lord and do you worship Him and serve Him only; answer me in Jesus name.’If the words come from a demon spirit, you will hear cursing, a very adamant ‘NO!’, or total silence. If the words come from the Holy Spirit, you will receive a very pleasant confirmation and many times He will elaborate on what He just said.” Ken Howerton, RADAH MINISTRIES

Iniquity Hidden in the heart

Acts 8:5-24 – Simon the sorcerer“Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostle’s hands, he offered the money, saying, “Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay may hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.” Acts 8:18-23

Possible Dangers in Seeking Kingdom Experiences

Patricia King – Glory School Manual P. 54

Witchcraft and Occultism

Any manipulation or activity operated in the spirit realm that is NOT under the rule of Christ is witchcraft…which is a work of the flesh (under the influence of man’s fallen nature) and is a forbidden practice in scripture.

Be careful regarding “guided imagery”. This is where someone else tells you what to see. This can be manipulation. Stay in complete submission to the Holy Spirit. Duet. 18:10-14; Gal. 5:17-25Idolatry and Fascination

Spirit of Truth – HealingEncountering God’s Presence

Deut. 4:19 “and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all the nations under the whole heaven.”

Rev. 19:10 “And I fell at his (possibly an angel) feet to worship him. And he said unto me, “see thou do it not; I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus; worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”Experience orientation which causes imbalance

When a believer begins to get too focused on spiritual experiences, he/she can begin to believe that the experiences are what produces spiritual maturity rather than pure devotion, faith and obedience to the Word of God. Our experience is simply a dimension of our whole hearted relationship with the Lord. Experience flows out of our worship, sole devotion to the Lord, and our radical commitment to Kingdom life. If we worship experience itself rather than the One whom we long to share experience with, then we fall into idolatry and the way we relate to life and to others becomes imbalanced.

Pride and Self-exaltation

Error and deception

Entering into experience without a proper and complete foundation in the Word o fGod can sometimes open the door to error and deception. Good solid Bible teaching should accompany spiritual experiences.

Testimony of Mixture

MIXTURE

It has been 2 ½ years since I first went through deliverance. I have grown and learned so much in my walk with the Lord. One area that has become a huge part of my every day life is the Holy Spirit. I’ve learned that

22

Page 23: Worship – Divine Romance Spirit of Truth_3.docx  · Web viewThe glory of God is being revealed both through the written word of God, and through His Spirit of Revelation as never

Spirit of Truth – HealingEncountering God’s Presence

the Holy Spirit is God and there is a difference between Holy Spirit (Himself) and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

As I began to get set free from my bondage and I repented from the iniquity and all that I had participated in; the Holy Spirit became a daily part of my life. At first I was terrified and wanted nothing to do with the Holy Spirit or the signs and wonders. I was so scared to acknowledge, know or learn about Holy Spirit because of the background and iniquity that I was born into which was one of freemasonry, occult, witchcraft and divination. Those very things used the supernatural to obtain power over and within man. When others spoke of the Holy Spirit; I’d become fearful because I wasn’t able yet to discern between the Holy Spirit and counterfeit spirit; though at the time I didn’t realize that was what I was struggling with. The Holy Spirit was almost offensive to me; yet I had such a desire to know Him. I was confused and the Holy Spirit felt so new age as did so many of the things I was reading about and learning concerning the spirit-filled life. I had only known it in a bad way.

Two scriptures I learned right away were: John 16:13-14 which says; “However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. And then John 10:10: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”.

The next thing I knew is I felt as if I got thrust or became accelerated into the supernatural lifestyle with God. I truly received gifts from the Holy Spirit. See; as a child, I witnessed many people using the powers of spirits. I was trained to use my mind and I learned about counterfeit spirits……though it wasn’t until the past few years that I recognized what it all was. I was a ‘seer’ as a child……in the wrong way. When I got set free; it was as if the Lord took all of the “training” the enemy had used against me for his purpose and the Lord took those very things and blessed me with the gifts that allowed me to walk strong in them for His purposes.

One of the areas the Lord began to use me in was that with dreams and visions. My dream world exploded. I began to dream of others for a season before I began to see myself in the dreams. In dreaming of others I began to dream of information that was right. I’d get dates, places, people’s names that I’d never heard of, events that had occurred, schedules. I’d

23

Page 24: Worship – Divine Romance Spirit of Truth_3.docx  · Web viewThe glory of God is being revealed both through the written word of God, and through His Spirit of Revelation as never

Spirit of Truth – HealingEncountering God’s Presence

often dream of the plans and schemes of the enemy and we’d get a ‘heads up’ before things happened. It was amazing and it humbled me and scared me and I was in awe at how Holy Spirit would reveal. And I loved it when I got to dream and see the glory. I loved to see how much the Lord loved me.

In Romans 11:29, Paul tells us that the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Once God gives us a gift; He doesn’t take it back. Even though I was still being healed and delivered; the Lord was using me.

Having said all of this; let me explain how the mixture came in and how I was shown it was mixture.

In September and October of 2007, I was on a 5 week people fast from Brandy. No communication with her at all. The Lord had told her to fast from me because I had mocked her when she said the Lord would deliver me; that along with some other things. Revelation was given to two people that I was still participating in witchcraft and divination. I had thought I had repented of all I knew that was in my family line and that I had willingly and unwillingly participated with. I cried and said, “no way.” It wasn’t my heart’s desire. I hated witchcraft and divination. I was sincere. I would ask the Lord to search my heart. I wanted nothing left and I gave Him permission to come and take it all. But, I was so blinded from the truth. Maybe it was because I didn’t receive the love of truth. I don’t know. It was just all so deep.

It was a Sunday morning and I call it the day the axe came down. It was the day that I chose whom I would serve. The people fast had ended and I was at church. I had seen Brandy and I passed her on my way to worship. I will leave out some details. At one point I was standing right outside of the sanctuary doors and I was watching some people who had arrived that I knew were into some bad stuff. The next thing I knew is I felt this presence that was so huge behind me. I turned to look and it was Brandy. I began to laugh a laugh that I knew wasn’t mine. Brandy spoke to that in tongues and I shot ‘false tongues’ right back to her. Now; here’s where the Lord gave me my first revelation. I hadn’t been able to see the iniquity at work, but that day He allowed me to. At the same time that I was cursing her in false tongues…….at that same moment I was filled with fear because I heard myself do it and I couldn’t stop it. It was as if the light and the dark were doing battle at the exact same time. I was horrified at what I was doing because I could hear it, feel it and see it; but I couldn’t stop. I had

Spirit of Truth – HealingEncountering God’s Presence

to go outside. There’s much more to that story, but I guess it will have to be for another time. The point is this: it was the first time that my eyes were opened to the fact that I had mixture in me. I was able to use the tongues from the true Holy Spirit and false tongues were their too.

In the spring of 2008, I was at work. Nothing was happening so I spent the day in the Word. For some reason, I had printed off an article I had seen from Derek Prince that had to do with deception and mixing the truth and how deception can come into the body and into the ‘signs and wonders’ and into the supernatural. In Leviticus 19:19, God gives a warning against mixture. “You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.” I then read 2 Thess. 2:9-12 where it talked about the coming of the lawless one and lying signs and wonders. There are true signs and there are lying signs. The mixture with me was about the signs and wonders. True signs will show truth and lying signs will show lies. Satan is able to mimic the supernatural signs and wonders. He can make it look like the real thing. Derek Prince said the reason that some are deceived is because they did not receive the love of the truth. On such people God will send strong delusion. (2 Thess. 2:10-11) Signs and wonders do not determine truth. It’s determined and established by the Word of God (John 17:17 and Psalm 119:89)

Next I read about King Saul. He had a mixture of spirits. At one time, he prophesied in the Holy Spirit and another time he prophesied in a demon. He was a king who had a lot of success; but the mixture is what killed him. On the last night of his life he went to consult with a witch and the next day committed suicide.

These are the other scriptures I read. 2 Timothy 3:16 where Paul says, “All scripture is given by the inspiration of God.” John 8:32 says, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” We must apply the truth of God’s Word. I began to pray about what I was reading and I began to ask the Lord to show me if I had any mixture. What He showed me just broke me and I cried and cried. He did it with such love and no condemnation; but He came in truth and allowed me to see the picture.

The Lord showed me that not all of my dreams and visions that we thought were from Him were. There were some specific times where I had received names, dates, and events. Gillum, Brandy and I thought the info was from the Lord. Now the Lord had given Gillum and Brandy revelation of

this……..that there were a few things not from Him, but they hadn’t told me they knew. They waited for the Lord to show me. I then went overboard the other way and was horrified that ALL of my dreams and visions must be from the enemy and not of God and that I could put no trust in any of it. I repented for all of that and asked the Lord to forgive me. I had such fear and confusion and doubt. Mixture will always cause confusion first but truth sets you free. The Word of God is truth.

That whole week I wrestled with fear over mixture and with this feeling that it was in my midst. Little did I know that it was still at work in me and that I’d be participating with it again. About two weeks later, I was at a retreat. Again; another long story, but I was told that I was in a trance. This was not of the Lord at all. Communication went on from spirit to spirit and it wasn’t Holy Spirit. Cause see……..with Holy Spirit there is just one spirit. You can’t communicate spirit to spirit. With Holy Spirit the manifestations will point toward the Word. So that night; again I see how because of the iniquity in my family line there was still a mixture that was getting exposed. Did this mean it was my heart’s desire or that I was ‘willingly’ doing it? NO. The Robin in me hated it all. The iniquity in me was being found out and my prayers were being answered that there would be nothing left.

So; that is how the mixture has worked with me. Because of what I came out of; I am very aware of how the enemy works. I understand about deception; about mixture and about truth. Am I perfect….no? I only see in part. The fear of the Lord has come upon me regarding this topic of “mixture and deception.” I’m talking about the reverent fear. The enemy wants me to live in fear of the supernatural and of the signs and wonders. He wants me to be fearful that I’m going to participate with mixture again somehow. Satan wants me to be confused and to stay back from it. But I won’t. I drank from Jesus’ cup……from the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The mixture I had participated with has been repented of and covered with the blood of Jesus. When you stay in the Word which is truth………you’ll know what’s truth and what’s a lie. Learn to TEST THE SPIRITS with all that you see and hear.
