The Ugly Truth about Spirits

This sermon dives deep into 1 John Chapter 4 to navigate the complex world of spirits and prophets, encouraging believers to discern the nature of each spirit. The speaker explores various types of spirits symbolized in biblical scriptures, including the Spirit of God, the Spirit of man, beastly spirits, and satanic spirits which are further categorized into unclean spirits, familiar spirits, and the spirit of the antichrist.
Interweaving verses from Genesis, Job, and Revelation among others, the speaker reflects on the prophet's role in speaking in the spirit of another.
