How To Test Spirits

How To Test Spirits

Understand that there is no such thing as ghosts or “spirit guides.” These are demons that are known as “familiar spirits” and can take on the appearance of humans, “angels,” or animals in the spirit. They attach to homes, land, families, people, and even pets.

Also, true angels of the Lord are MALE looking — very large and powerful. If you see something in the spirit that you think could be a true angel of the Lord, they are male warriors or messengers. They come with authority and power and have a quick message, or they even come to smite down a demon around you with their bright flashing weapons.

In the spiritual, angels of the Lord have jobs or assignments to assist us to complete our purposes for God on the earth. There are ministering angels that come to pull the devices of the enemy off of you and pour healing upon you just like they did for Jesus in the Garden.

They serve us at the command of Father God. We can ask Father God for them — angels of protection or ministering angels. I have been to the Lord on this many times asking questions about His angels, and He always reminds me that there are no female angel names in His word.

Also, the angels that fell to the earth with Lucifer (1/3 of the angels) were all male as they bred with the women of the earth and created the demonic race that were wiped clean from the earth by God in Noah’s flood. Those offspring of the fallen angels are now demonic spirits that roam the earth in the spirit realm. They can look like women or children or creatures.

Flowy angel paintings of pretty female angels are not an accurate depiction of the true angels of the Lord. These spirits must be tested if they appear to you. We should always test the spirits! They may pretend to be “guardians” or “imaginary friends.” They attach to you and want to control your life.

They may start out sweet, helpful, nice and pretty, but look out! I had a student once who had this “pretty lady angel” that was with her since she was a little girl, and when she got married, this “pretty lady angel” attacked her husband out of jealousy. It threw things on him off of the walls, moved their bed, attacked with accidents, and even caused havoc in their marriage!  That was an unclean, demonic familiar spirit! I showed her how to tell it to leave and it did!

Always test a spirit by saying to it: “Can you say or agree that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, born of a virgin, walked the earth teaching the Kingdom of God, was crucified, shed His blood for the sins of the world, died, was buried in a tomb, and on the third day was risen from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit of the living God — the Father of all creation — and that Jesus Christ is now seated at the right hand of Father God in all authority as King of kings, Lord of lords, Name above all names?” 

If the angel stays and agrees — says yes or nods his head — he is from God. If it disappears or flees, it was not from God. This is a good thing to know by heart and it’s the basic Gospel of Jesus Christ. The demons cannot repeat the Gospel, they run from it.

Slow Down – Take Time with the Father – Then HE Accelerates YOU

Slow Down – Take Time with the Father – Then HE Accelerates YOU

Transcription of the word that the Holy Spirit gave to Annamarie Strawhand while Susie Q was praying, which she delivered during her broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on June 19, 2022.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 

ANNAMARIE: He just spoke to me. This is what He just said. He said, “I say you must slow down with me, so I can speed you up!” That’s what He just said, very powerfully. Just hear the word of the Lord. He just, he’s bringing a word …Oh. [Holy Spirit presence]

He’s saying you must slow down with Him. In other words, the more time you spend in His presence, that when He does send you out to work for the kingdom, He will speed it up and accelerate it. 

Susie Q: Launch.

Annamarie: Come on, God! 

Susie Q: Amen.

Annamarie: That’s what it just said in that chapter too because it said He’ll redeem the time. He just brought it all together for us. 

Susie Q: I feel it.

PRAYER FOR DISCERNMENT

PRAYER FOR DISCERNMENT

My friends, we are living in times that can be confusing, propaganda from the media is being thrown at us to play on our emotions. But this is when we go to God and become quiet to hear His voice. What is His truth in all this? Discernment is like gold in these days! I look to the prophet Jeremiah. He had sharp discernment, and asked God for more. God loved that Jeremiah came to Him for all understanding, He even said to Jeremiah, ask Me and I will show you the hidden secrets! Be like Jeremiah.

Pray: “Father God I come to you today because there are so many confusing things happening in the world but You know the truth and I want to know the truth too!

How To Discern A Person of Truth and Honor?

How To Discern A Person of Truth and Honor?

Discerning a Person of Truth, Virtue and Honor for The Lord – “Discernment Alert”…….  (see my prayer for discernment here)
As a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ, In these days of multi-media, so many different voices of influence coming at us, how can we properly discern someone who is a voice of influence and leadership in the Body of Christ that proclaims to be a Christian is the real deal?  How can we use discernment and understanding if that person really is led by the word of God and the Holy Spirit and is speaking truth?

 

1.) Does the person pray to Father God in the name of Jesus Christ? Do they have a testimony for Christ or are in the process of giving their lives to Jesus?  

2.) Does the person focus more on asking questions than accusing?  Do they forgive those who hurt them, but stand up bravely to bullies/evil ones and call them out with facts in an effort to warn others?  Do they want to see even the evil ones come to repentance and turn to God?

3.) Is the person’s hope in God and Jesus Christ and not man? Do they pray for others? Do they believe that God is all powerful?  Do they put God before country and man? 

4.) Is the person focused on what they can do to encourage others and give hope that God is good?

5.) Is the person focused on their assignment for the Lord and for the love of the people/children more than their own personal gain?

6.) Is there a level of sacrifice for their obedience?  Do they see God as good and merciful?

7.) Do they get attacked regularly by the mainstream media?  Have they had their social media removed for speaking truth?

8.) Do they stay away from rabbit holes and distractions and instead stay grounded in God’s word and truth?

9.) Has what they stood for and spoke up for in the past produced good fruit?  Have they produced tangible good results from what they have said they will do?

10.) Are they quick to correct a mistake and are OK with correction from the Holy Spirit?  Do they have a history that you can easily research and they are open to sharing their past? 

These are the steps I follow – given to me by the Holy Spirit and He never steers us wrong!
I am also a person who holds people accountable to what they say they will do and I also give grace if they come up against adversity when they are trying to do those things – we know we must extend grace – but also pray for them that they can complete what they intend and are called to do for the Lord and the Kingdom of God and ask for their protection and favor from the Lord.
Many times that person will have to step away from being the “influencer or leader” for a season to allow the Lord to grow them or do a specific assignment – the key here is are they focused on obedience to God in their lives?  I have to be understanding if that person needs time away and not look at it as abandonment but instead look at them as an example that even someone who is a leader is taking time to grow more in the Lord.  They should always be growing too. I see that as humility to God.  I feel if they are a person of truth they will always be transparent with those they are leading and influencing with their own walk with the Lord.
It is so imperative that we pray daily for discernment on what people we should follow and listen to – God’s chosen leaders and influencers.  However seek first the Kingdom, Father, Son, Holy Spirit to be your first and most important voice in your life.  I will tell you one of my favorite ways to pray for truth and understanding is to call unto the Lord to show me the hidden things – according to Jeremiah 33:3.  I call that God’s phone number!  When I pray that scripture and ask the Father to show me the hidden truths, the secret things around a person, I even say show me what the enemy does not want me to see in  Jesus name!  I have always had amazing and quick revelation from the Holy Spirit on these hidden things and He will immediately prompt me to either move on from that influence if He shows me bad or if He shows me good I can know that person is someone I want to continue to follow, connect, support and learn from.
Much Love, Coach Annamarie
