2 Cor 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 1 John 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19We love him, because he first loved us. 20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

My children seek Me, and ask for My wisdom and understanding. They obey My Word that tells them: discern the spirits, try them. Many in the last days do not believe My Word. There is no discerning of spirits and turning away from the ones that bring false prophets and doctrines. I am not sought, therefore so many walk in blind lack of knowledge. Without My Truth, you cannot have life.
My children – your brethren, MY brethren, are those who DO Father’s will. The Living Water, My Holy Spirit flows out of those who are Mine and is evident to all. My fruit is seen in those who desire My will, and obey Me. This is how you know one is of My brethren, your adopted-in-co-heirs with Me.
It crucial that you learn to hear My Voice, receive It with a contrite and obedient heart, and let Me prune – for I sanctify those Who abide in Word – and learn to walk according to My Spirit Who teaches you to discern.
Those who will rule and reign with Me will know how to discern spirits, and they will do My will accordingly regarding those spirits they have discerned.
Who are My Brethren? Those who obey My commands, which are Life. Die to self completely, turn from this world. The world loves its own, and those in the world hear its voice and obey it.
Those who love sin do not love My Truth.
Those who teach lies, interpreting My Word without My wisdom and understanding, are carnal and do not have My Spirit in them. They do not Love with My love. They do not obey My commands but treat them as optional. They excuse their sin saying it is too hard for them to stop their sin. True, apart from Me, you can do nothing.
If you do not seek Me and abide in My Word, are you not apart from Me? When you believe every spirit instead of testing it as I have told you to do, are you not being disobedient? You open your door to every wind of doctrine and you never come to the knowledge of Truth. Why? Because you do not seek Me earnestly and with all of your heart, which is what I require.
Mine do not submit to the enemy and his ministers. Mine submit to Me, My Word that is the only Spirit and Truth. Mine discern the spirits and obey what I say to do. They don’t argue, they don’t reason, they don’t try to save those I say to turn away from. Am I not able to even reach the most vile sinner? Ask that My will is done and pray for them… but when I say turn away, then do so. Give them to Me and seek Me – for I have much work for you to do.
Those who are not Mine will not understand My Words. Mine will understand.
My Holy Spirit is evident in those who walk according to My Spirit and LOVE. Those who do not walk in My Love are not Mine, no matter what they say. In fact, if they SAY they are mine but do not show evidence of Me living in them – if they do not walk in My fruit – they are actors and liars and carry false doctrines. These you must not even greet and bless, for their sin spreads and leavens. Mine do not risk staining their garments. They obey ME.
I send you out to the world…as lights, as sheep, as tabernacles of My Holy Spirit. Mine understand My Holiness. My Mercy those who humble self before Me and seek My ways and reject the world and its lies. My love knows when to press in, and My love knows when to walk away from those who hate Me but claim to love Me.
You must know the difference in your own heart first. Examine yourself according to My Word, measure your thoughts, words, and actions according to My Word.
If your thoughts, words, and actions do not show My Love according to My Word, come to Me: repent of believing your carnal understanding, the world, and false teachers which are those spirits you must learn to test. Buy what I have told you to get from Me so that you will overcome the love of this world. Apart from Me, Word, you can do nothing.
With man it is not possible, but with ME, THE I AM, The First and The Last, your Heavenly Father by adoption through Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who came in the flesh to defeat the work of the enemy by His Blood shed, by His resurrection power, by His Way of Love, which is My Way. What does it mean to say that Jesus Christ came in the flesh? The carnal will just repeat the words but have no understanding. I spoke in parables so that only those who seek Me will be fed by Me regarding what My Word means.
Ask Me to teach you, ask Me for discernment by My Spirit. You must walk circumspectly now. “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:15–17, NKJV)
1 John 3
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Matt 22

38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
