When she stepped up in front of me for prayer, I asked her, "Are you a Christian?" She replied
that she belonged to a particular church.
I said, "Well, you can belong to any church and still not be a Christian. You have to be born
again."
"Oh, I am saved and filled with the Holy Ghost," she said. "Do you want to hear me speak in
tongues?" Then she started saying something that sounded like tongues.
I said, "Sister, say this prayer after me from your heart." I prayed a prayer to God the Father
and she repeated the words after me. Then I said, "I acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as
Your Son, and I acknowledge that He is come in the flesh."
But when I said that, she said, "Jesus Christ is not Your Son and He is not come in the flesh."
It was immediately apparent that wasn't the right spirit speaking.
Those tongues she was rattling off — some kind of "gibberish" — weren't given by the Spirit of
God. I tried two or three times to get her to repeat that prayer after me. Finally, she said,
"Something on the inside of me won't let me say what you said."
"I know it," I said. "Do you want to be free from it?"
"I sure do!" she answered. I cast that spirit out of her in the Name of Jesus. Then I had her
pray the sinner's prayer and she was born again. She was then filled with the Holy Spirit and
went home speaking in tongues.
This woman was saying, "I am saved, I am born again, and I am filled with the Holy Ghost," but
she wasn't at all. People can make a lot of statements, but that doesn't necessarily make them
true. When the Spirit of God is in manifestation, He will make Jesus Lord. The wrong spirit
won't acknowledge that Jesus is Lord and won't say that Jesus is Lord.
Gifts, Administrations, and Operations
1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-6
4 Now there are diversities of GIFTS, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of ADMINISTRATIONS, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of OPERATIONS, but it is the same God which worketh all in
all.
There are two lines of thought on this particular passage of Scripture in First Corinthians
chapter 12. One line of thought says that the gifts of the Spirit are administered to different
people in different ways. According to this line of thought, that is what First Corinthians 12:6
means by, "And there are diversities of operations. . .."
In other words, there are those who think that diversities of operations in First Corinthians 12:6
means that the gifts of the Spirit will operate in different ways and not always in the same way
through various people.
