1 John 4:1-6 Do not believe a spirit that does not acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh!
Recognizing a dirty diaper does not take any special training, certifications or years of experience. The smell of a dirty diaper is easy to identify, but sometimes they remain unchanged. Sometimes, the individual in the dirty diaper does not want their diaper changed, but an unchanged diaper causes problems beyond the foul odor. The truth is, when the diaper is full, it is time to change it. God wants us to do the “smell test” with spirits so that we reject false prophets. If we listen to false spiritual messages about Jesus, then we will have big problems.

Acts 3:11-20 In the name of Jesus, you have been healed from your sins!
Questions arise when a child says something like, “Mommy said that I can have candy before dinner.” The adult watching the child is quick to call out the misuse of Mommy’s name to justify doing something wrong. On the other hand, we praise a child when they say something like, “Daddy says do not talk to strangers.” The adult watching the child is quick to affirm the correct and good use of Daddy’s name and truth taught by Daddy. Even children know the power behind a name and learn to use it for bad or good behavior. There is power in Jesus’ name. He fulfilled all the prophecies about the Savior and so we have healing from our sins in his name.
