Test the Spirits: Protect Yourself from Deception in Dreams and Visions
[Intro: Serious and Cautionary Tone]
Don’t be deceived, brothers and sisters. The Bible commands us to test the spirits. Not every supernatural encounter is from God. Today, I’m going to share with you why we must be vigilant and how you can protect yourself against deception in dreams, visions, and even abduction experiences.
[Scripture Foundation]
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1). This is not a suggestion. It’s a command from God to protect us.
[Personal Experience: Warning from a Real Encounter]
Many years ago, I had an “out of body” experience that felt as real as anything I’d ever known. I believed I had traveled to heaven. The scene was magnificent: golden, jewel-encrusted surroundings filled with brilliant light. But then, an angelic figure spoke to me telepathically, saying, “I have made you a prophet to the nations.” He handed me a book filled with symbols and offered me a cup of dark liquid, telling me it would open my eyes.
But something inside me recoiled. I knew that the feeling I had wasn’t right. The Holy Spirit brought Scripture to mind: “Test the spirits.” So I mustered the courage and asked, “Can you confess that Jesus Christ is Lord? Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh?”
The moment I spoke these words, the figure’s disguise shattered. It was a demon, filled with hate. Instantly, I was pulled back, as if grabbed by the collar, and found myself awake and trembling in my room.
[Scriptural Support and Explanation]
Friends, we must understand that the enemy is cunning. Scripture shows us that false visions and deceptions can be created by demons (Lamentations 2:14). They can “deliver” false visions that seem divine but are not. Remember, Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). These experiences can mimic the very fabric of reality, as real as the Matrix was to Neo.
Paul, who was caught up to the third heaven, admitted he did not know whether he was in or out of his body (2 Corinthians 12:2-3). That’s a crucial detail: unlike many modern “visionaries,” Paul’s experience wasn’t marked by certainty about being out of the body. Counterfeits, however, often come with a sense of knowing.
[The Command to Test Spirits]
Testing spirits isn’t just for prophets or apostles. It’s for all believers. When you encounter a dream, vision, or voice, demand it confess “Jesus Christ is Lord” (1 Corinthians 12:3). If the spirit is not of God, its disguise will fail. The vision will end. This is not a game; it’s spiritual warfare.
[The Three Tests]
- Confess Jesus Came in the Flesh: If a spirit is asked to declare that Jesus Christ came in the flesh (1 John 4:2-3) and cannot, it is not from God.
- Confess Jesus is Lord: No spirit speaking by the Holy Spirit will refuse to declare that Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3).
- The Holy Spirit’s Consistency: The Holy Spirit will never speak against Jesus Christ. Any message that dishonors or contradicts the nature and sacrifice of Christ is false.
[Why This Matters]
Failure to test the spirits can lead to grave consequences. Paul warned the Thessalonians about the “energy of error,” a deluding influence from Satan that subverts discernment and leads people away from truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This deception dulls our ability to see God’s truth, just as the Corinthians were once led astray by idols (1 Corinthians 12:2).
[Application for Today]
The devil’s strategies haven’t changed. He’s modernized them as “alien abductions” and other supernatural experiences. These encounters can be halted by calling on the name of Jesus Christ. His name has power, and God will honor those who obey His Word.
Remember, we are commanded to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) to stand against the wiles of the devil. Pray, study the Word, and be vigilant. Test the spirits in every encounter, whether in dreams, visions, or any spiritual experience. It is not optional; it’s essential.
[Conclusion: Final Call to Action]
Friends, I almost failed to obey God’s command to test the spirit. The fear I felt was powerful. But obedience to Scripture saved me. Don’t be deceived. Hold fast to God’s Word and always test the spirits. If you do, God will protect you.
Be strong in the Lord, and don’t fall prey to the enemy’s deceptions. Stand firm, and remember: Jesus Christ is Lord.
