Test the Spirits – over 300 pages is also available in paperback or .epub on Amazon.com.

The world in which we live is rapidly changing. The Bible said the time would come when people would call good evil and evil good. We are there. The church is being impacted by an onslaught of voices all saying different things. The authenticity and authority of the Bible are not only being questioned but ridiculed, often by people who claim to be Christian.

Test the Spirits is based on the apostle John’s admonition in 1 John 4:1: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

Jesus, and every New Testament writer, warned explicitly about a serious demonic deception that would occur in the last days. Jesus repeatedly cautioned His followers not to be deceived. He went so far as to say the deception would be so good that even true believers would be at risk. This truth is largely ignored in our churches today because it is not a popular message, even though a significant part of the New Testament text is devoted to the subject.

This book is not a witch hunt. It does not point fingers at various ministers, tearing apart their ministries and messages. Rather you will learn to discern for yourself the characteristics of the true and false ministries, messages, and spiritual experiences.

The author has spent over forty years in Spirit-filled ministry and currently serves as pastor int he USA and a missionary in Papua New Guinea. He preaches and practices the gifts of the Spirit. He is committed to the reality and necessity of the New Testament Church in expressing the Kingdom of God in the last days.

In Test the Spirits, the author looks at the nature of the deception we were warned about and gleans significant insight into some of the issues that are impacting the church today. He also discusses how an individual or congregation can learn to discern what is true and false. If we are to “test the spirits” it only makes sense that we figure out how to do it.
