Episode 2-14: Satan is a Counterfeit to the Holy Spirit

Welcome Back! I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to be discussing counterfeits to the Holy Spirit.  We are going to discuss this in a broad sense because there are so many elements, but you will have a strong understanding of how Satan counterfeits and leads believers astray if they are not able to discern Truth from Lies. 

As always let’s recap Top Show Points:

·      Counterfeits to the Holy Spirit

·      The definition: A counterfeit is something made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud. 

·      The number of ways Satan counterfeits the Holy Spirit is seemingly endless because the way the Holy Spirit works in our lives is endless. 

·      Satan’s goal is to counterfeit the Truth so it can be watered down and twisted. 

·      Paul was continually dealing with counterfeits in his ministry.  Here is what he says to the Romans, this is Romans 1:18-27

·      2 Corinthians 11: 1-15, Paul dealing with Super apostles in Corinth. This antichrist behavior is a part of our culture today and that is among believers as well.

·      Modern day “super apostles” and it is our responsibility as believers to discern truth from lies.  We will be held accountable for what we believe, what we say, how we influence others and the way we lived our lives for the kingdom or not. 

·      To make sure you are not putting yourself in a position to follow a counterfeit to the Holy Spirit, we need to be able to discern the Holy Spirit from Satan.  We need to be able to open our Bible and read it for ourselves, consistently.  Develop that discernment. 

·      We need to know Jesus so well, we could never mistake one for the other.

We encourage you:

·       To have an active Bible reading plan, it will be helpful in gaining wisdom and understanding and it is required for the gift of spiritual discernment
