Chidzidzo: Testing the spirits – Part 2- Kushandisa Bhaibheri

Last time takabata nyaya yekuti munhu usati waTester imwe mweya kuti ndeya satan here or ndewa Mwari you need kuva uri spiritual also, you need to have the Holy Spirit within you nekuti spiritual things are spiritually discerned, but nyaya haigumire ipapo. Chimwe chinokosha munhau yekunzvera mweya is the use of the word of GOD rinova iro Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16 inoti “Rugwaro rwose rwakafemerwa naMwari uye runobatsira pakudzidzisa…” The Bible was inspired by GOD. 2 Peter 1:21 inoti “Nokuti hakuna chiprofita chakatongouya nokuda kwomunhu, asi vanhu vakataura zvaibva kuna Mwari vachisundwa noMweya Mutsvene” The same Holy Spirit Akafemera kunyorwa kweBible is the same Holy Spirit anoita kuti vanhu vaporofite, kureva kuti kana munhu achizviti muporofita waMwari ane Mweya Mutsvene, munhu iyeye ari supposed kuva aine dzidziso inoenderana nezvinodzidziswa neBible.

Kana uchida kunzvera mweya uri pane munhu kuti arikushandiswa naMwari here or nasatan, compare dzidziso yemunhu iyeye nezvinodzidziswa neBible, not just for prophets but for anyone anoparidza shoko (including me also), ukaona munhu achiparidza, kutaura or kupa advice inopikisa shoko raMwari, munhu iyeye iSuspect. Even inini ndikakuparidzira zvinopesana neBible, usatomboterere, stop listening to me because no one is above scripture, hakuna aripamusoro peBible.

The first created being watiine record yekuparidza shoko rinopesana nezvinotaura shoko raMwari is the devil. Ukaenda kuna Genesis 2:17 unonzwa Mwari vachiudza munhu kuti kana ukadya muchero uyu wekuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa zvirokwazvo uchafa, that was the word of God, but ukaenda next chapter unonzwa satan achiparidzira Eve the opposite message hanzi zvirokwazvo haungafe. (Genesis 3:4) Satan ndiye anetsika yekuparidza shoko rinopesana neshoko raMwari, ane tsika yekupa advice which is not Biblical and he uses a medium kusvitsa message yake and in this case he used a snake, and mazuva ano arikunyanya kushanda nevaparidzi nevaporofita kuti vaparidze a message which contradicts shoko raMwari.

2 Peter 2:1 yoti Asi kwakanga kuna vaprofita venhema pakati pavanhu, sezvavachavapowo vadzidzisi venhema pakati penyu. Vachazivisa pakavanda dzidziso dzinoparadza, vachiramba kunyange naiye Ishe tenzi akavatenga, vachiuyisa pamusoro pavo kuparadzwa kunokurumidza.

maSermons emushumiri, dzidziso dzake, doctrine yake, or advice yaanopa vanhu inogona kukubatsira kuziva kuti uyu ndewa Mwari here or ndewasatan. Saka there is need yekuti uyenzanise zvinodzidziswa nemunhu against what the Bible teaches. Ukaona munhu achiparidza zvinopesana neBible then you begin to ask yourself kuti mweya upi wakagara munhu uyu unomupa kuti ataure zvinopikisa Bible, how can the Holy Spirit speak contradicting things.
sometimes it’s not easily clear kuti uone kuti munhu uyu aparidza zvinopikisa Bible, its not that simple but it can be simple for you kana iwewe ukatangawo kuva munhu anoverenga Bible uchitungamirwa neMweya Mutsvene, you need to study the Bible and kana ndichiti study handireve zvekungoverenga like urikuverenga Newspaper but you need to study prayerfully kuti unzwisise kuti shoko rauri kuverenga rinonyatsorevei chaizvo. The moment yaunotanga kunzwisisa shoko raMwari and someone comes oparidza a message inopikisa Bible, it becomes very easy kuti uone kuti munhu uyu atumwa nasatan. But kana usingaverenge Bible, you are in trouble, nekuti unogona kuudzwa maVerse which don’t exist kana kupihwa interpretation iri wrong.

Let me be quick to say kuti satan can also quote the Bible, atorine maVerse ake aanoshandisa but let me also say, even though he quotes the Bible, he misapplies it, inoshandisa maVerse paasingapinde and achipa interpretation dziri wrong. Ukaverenga Luke 4:10-11 Jesu achiyedzwa nasatan, satan quotes Psalms 91:11-12 but ukazvitarisisa uchaona kuti satan haana kuzoenderera mberi paVerse 13 nekuti verse iyoyo inoti uchatsika pamusoro peDragon & ukaenda kuna revelation 12:9 inotiudza kuti the dragon ndisatan, kureva kuti maVerse aya aitotaura against the devil but iye satan quoted them half-way nekuti akaziva kuti if he goes any further muyedzo wake unoshaya basa. Yes a false minister may quote the Bible but anorishandisa nenzira isiriyo & usually vanobata nyaya vachigumira munzira, they take verses out of their context. kuti uzvibate you need to know your Bible very well

Mubvunzo wouya kwauri iwe mutendi kuti urikuStuder here shoko raMwari or hauzi. Kana uri kuStuder that’s very good, wedzera mafuta, if you are not then how do you expect kusabatwa nehunyengeri huriko mazuva ano? We are living in dangerous times and if you don’t know your Bible you are very easy prey.
Church yepaBerea ndinoifarira kwazvo, (Acts 17:10-11) chinoita kuti ndivafarire its because vaiti kana Pauro akaparidza shoko they would go and compare zvaparidzwa naPauro kuti ndizvo here zvinotaurwa neBible, manje mazuva ano, haaa ingori amen chete chete without taking time yekumboverenga Bible kuti unzwe kuti ndizvo here zvinotaura Bible. Bible ndiro standard yatinoshandisa to compare zvataurwa nemunhu, I have come across maSermons akasiyana siyana ekuti panenge pachitaurwa maVerse which are taken out of their context, zvinoreva verse nemashandisirwo anoitwa acho in the sermon zviri very different.


Isaiah 8:20 yoti “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them”- Dzokerai kumurayiro (the first 5 books of the Bible) nokuzvipupuriro! (the writtings of the prophets) Kana vasingatauri sezvinoreva shoko iri, havangavi nechiedza chamangwanani.
Shandisa Bible kunzvera, yenzanisa dzidziso yemunhu nezvinodzidziswa neBible, ukaona munhu iyeye achiparidza zvinopikisa or zvisingawirirane neBible, tiza nehupenyu hwako. It doesn’t matter paitwa miracle yakadii or munhu wacho ane mbiri yakaita sei, as long as achipesana neBible, run with your life.

(in the next post kana Mwari Vatendera tichibata another way you can use to test spirits, remember me in your prayers kuti whatever zvandichadzidzisa zvive zvinobva kuna Mwari)

Lesson: Kunzvera – Discernment

Jesu achitaura about chiporofita chekufa nekumuka kwake, tinozonzwa Peter avekuti “Hazviitiki, Ishe. Izvi hazvisi kuzoitika kwamuri!”, iye Jesu ndokupindura akati Get behind me satan, “Enda shure kwangu Satani! Uri chigumburiso kwandiri nokuti hauna zvinhu zvaMwari mupfungwa dzako asi zvavanhu.” (Matthew 16:21-23). Jesu ainge azviona kuti munhu arikutaura uyu haachisiri Peter but pana satan arikumupa mashoko ekuti ataure & Jesu akagona kushandisa discernment kuti azive kuti mashoko ataurwa aya haasi aPeter but ndeasatan. And nyaya yeDiscernment iyi (kunzvera) inokosha kwazvo zvirikuru sei munhau dzekuparidzwa kweshoko kuti ugone kuziva kuti uyu arikutaura uyu haasisiri Pastor but pana satan arikuseri.

MuBible reEnglish (KJV) ukatsvaga word rekuti “discern” uchaona kuti most of the times parinoshandiswa rinobuditsa pfungwa yekuti to discern zvinoreva kugona kusiyanisa chakanaka kubva kune chakaipa (Consider maVerses aya 2 Samuel 14:17, 2 Samuel 19:35; 1 Kings 3:9, Malachi 3:18). Muchishona vara rekuti discernment iri tinogona kuriti “kunzvera” and we want to learn a bit about it.

Topic yemaFalse prophets is a very sensitive topic zvekuti ukada kuitanga kuitaura unozonzwa mumwe munhu ava kuti “You shall not judge”, even usina kuJudger anyone kana kutaura zita remuporofita kana zita reChurch unogona kutsiurwa nemunhu kunzi usatonga, kutonga ndekwa Mwari. I can just imagine kuti dai Jesu airarama panyika in our current generation and he repeats mashoko ake epana Matthew 7:15 paanoti beware of false prophets, aigona kuudzwa nevanhu kuti “you shall not judge”. iVerse yakabatwa nevanhu mazuva ano even though sometimes it is misapplied. Ichishandiswa paisingashande.
but is it the will of GOD kuti vanhu varege kuziva nezvemaporofita enhema? I believe kuti Mwari vanoda kuti tigone kupatsanura the fake prophets from the true prophets. Bible chairo kuna 1John 4:1 rinoti Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (Shamwari dzinodikanwa, musatenda mweya yose yose, asi edzai mweya kuti muone kana ichibva kuna Mwari, nokuti vaprofita vazhinji venhema vakapinda munyika)

I want to share with you nzira dzatinogona kuziva nadzo whether a person is a true prophet or a false prophet. Please note kuti I don’t know everything, saka ukaona ndasiira zvimwe rega kubatikana.
I like this example very much, Do you know kuti carpenter haagone kuita auditor weBank, hazviite kuti aite auditing dzeAccounts dzeBank kuti aone kuti mari dzakafamba sei, zveAuditing izvi zvinotoda munhu akaita accounts dzacho neAuditing. Ndiri kuti inini speciality yega yega inotogonekwa nevanhu who are specialised in that area.
Hazvigone kuti iwewe usina Mweya ugone kunzwisisa zvinhu zveMweya. Verse yekuna 1 John 4:1 iyo yatipa warning about testing maProphets, ukazvitarisa this a letter yainyorerwa kuKereke yaMwari, haizi tsamba yainyorerwa vanhu vekuBhawa or kune imwe nzvimbo yenyika but it was a letter to Christian believers. Ukaverenga the previous verse ( 1 John 3:24) inobuditsa pfungwa yekuti iye John and ivo vanhu vaainyorera tsamba ava vainge vakapihwa Mweya naMwari (the Holy Spirit)


So the first step for you to be able to test spirits, unofanira kunge uine Mweya waMwari, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit. Kana usati, take the steps necessary kuti ugamuchire Mweya waMwari, believe in Jesus, get baptised, live by the word, pray and fast kuti ugamuchire Mweya Mutsvene.
Paul achinyora kuna 1Corinthians 2:14-15 anoti But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. (Reshona roti Munhu asina Mweya haangagamuchiri zvinhu zvinobva kuMweya waMwari, nokuti zvinonzwisisika nomweya. Munhu ari muMweya anonzwisisa zvinhu zvose, asi iye pachake haanganzwisiswi nomunhu)
iyi yekuTester maProphets inotoda kuti uve neMweya waMwari, kana usina Mweya you are like a builder who is trying to audit maAccounts eBank, unovhiringika.

Wakambozviona here kuti tsikamutanda/n’anga vanogona kubata muroyi, why zvichidaro: because varikushandisa mweya (yakaipa). They can identify each other because vese vanoita zvemweya (although evil spirits). Kana iyo mweya yakaipa ichibatsira tsikamutanda to identify umwe munhu ane mweya wakaipa (muroyi). Imagine kuti kana uine mweya waMwari ungatadze here to identify vanhu vane mweya yakaipa kuti uyu arikushandiswa nasatan or kuona kuti uyo arikushandiswa naMwari? yes you can.


Paul pana Acts 16 akateverwa neumwe musikana aiva aine mweya yetsvina, she followed Paul naSilas achiti “Varume ava varanda vaMwari Wokumusoro-soro, vari kukuudzai nzira yoruponeso.” Akaramba achiita izvi kwamazuva mazhinji. Pakupedzisira Pauro akashushikana zvikuru zvokuti akatendeuka akati kumweya uyu, “Muzita raJesu Kristu ndinokurayira kuti ubude maari!” Nenguva yakare iyoyo mweya wakabva maari.
This girl aiparidza a good message, aiita kunge Usher arikubatsira ana Pauro but aiva aine mweya yetsvina. Kureva kuti munhu anogona kuparidza a good message but achishandiswa nemweya yetsvina. Even mademon aiti kudii paaisangana naJesu, hanzi tinokuziva imi Mwanakomana waMwari wekumusoro kudenga. Paul akazviziva kuti chiri kutuma munhu kutaura mweya yetsvina, of course she appears to be supporting the work of GOD but the devil is behind her, and Paul dzokudzinga demon iroro. Chakapa Paul kuziva kuti munhu uyu ane mweya yetsvina is because iye Paul aiva neMweya waMwari, spiritual things are spiritually discerned.

Mweya Mutsvene ane zvipo zvakasiyana siyana zvaanopa vanhu and one of those of gifts is the gift of discernment chipo chekunzvera icho chinotaurwa pana 1 Corinthians 12:10. 


Jesu oti pana John 14:26 anoti Asi Munyaradzi, Mweya Mutsvene, uyo achatumwa naBaba muzita rangu, achakudzidzisai zvinhu zvose uye achakuyeuchidzai zvinhu zvose. When you have the Holy Spirit, He will teach you ALL THINGS, zvese anokudzidzisa including this issue yekuTester mweya.
Kana paine chinhu chinofanira kuva one of the top things paPrayer list pako is to pray for discernment, namatira kuti Mweya Mutsvene agare mauri uye akubatsire kunzvera the evil from the good

This is just one of many ways dzinokubatsira to test spirits, kana Mwari vachinge vatendera I will share another way to separate the false prophets from the true prophets in one of my next posts. 

Peace and Safety (Part 2)

Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Jeremiah 14:11-16

Munguva yaJeremiah vanhu vaiporofita nhema yet vachishandisa zita raJehovah. Verse 14 yabuda pachena wani Mwari vachiti maProphets aya they prophesy lies in my name. Kunyangwe muzuva ranhasi zviriko futi, Jesu akagara ataura akati “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:5) Kureva kuti munhu anogona kutoti ndiri waJesu, I come in the name of Jesus Christ but iye achireva nhema.
Muporofita ari supposed kutumwa naMwari but apa Mwari vakabva vati I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, kana kataura navo handina kutaura navo. manje muporofita kana asina kutumwa naMwari zvatova pachena kuti akatumwa nasatan, nekuti Jesu anoti pana Matthew 12:30 “Uyo asineni anopesana neni, nouyo asingaunganidzi neni anoparadza.

Ndipo ndadzidza panyaya iyi kuti munhu anogona kuzviti is a prophet but iye asina kutumwa naMwari, that much is very possible, kutozviti prophet, kana apostle or pastor or evangelist but iye asina kutumwa naMwari. Chimwe chandishamisa is the word rekunzi “Prophets” rashandiswa, hapana kunzi prophet (singular) but panzi prophets (plural) kureva kuti there were more than 1 prophet. Izvi zvabva zvandibuditsira pachena kuti kuwanda kwevanhu hazvireve kuti vari correct, they can actually be many prophets vachideidzira peace and safety, but kuwanda kwavo hakureve kuti they have been sent by GOD. rega kubatwa kumeso uchifunga since a certain message is very popular it means kuti zvabva kuna Mwari. chiporofita chenhema kunyangwe chikawanda vanochiita hazvireve kuti chava chechokwadi

Pauro achinyora kuna Varoma 16 vs 18 pamusoro pevashumiri venhema anoti “Nokuti vanhu vakadaro havasi kushumira Ishe wedu Kristu, asi dumbu ravo. Nokutaura kwakanaka uye nokubata kumeso, vanonyengera vanhu vane pfungwa dzisina uchenjeri”
Wainzwa here verse iyo, hanzi vanhu vakadaro they don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies. Imi muchifunga kuti munhu arikushandira Jesu Christu but iye achishandira dumbu rake zvake kuti agute, chaanoda chete is to benefit kubva kumaOfferings and tithes uye nedzimwe mari dzakasiyana siyana dzavanowana through deception. Verse inoendera mberi ichiti by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Type yacho yevanyengeri iyi ine mashoko akanaka kwazvo, they will tell you zvinokufadza but kunyangwe zvisiri zvechokwadi, inenge ingori receive your blessing, receive your money, receive your whatever, but kuti akuudze kuti shamwari kana ukasatendeuka denga haupinde, that they wont tell you because they are afraid of offending you. Anoita make sure kuti haakuparidzire message inokugumbura nekuti anotya kuti next week haudzoke kuChurch and kusadzoka kwako it means they have lost out on the money yawaizounza.

Vaporofita ava vaitaura mashoko akanaka kwazvo, they preached prosperity vachiudza vanhu kuti don’t worry hakuna hondo irikuuya, you shall have peace in the place, vaiparidza message yePeace but iko kusina peace.

Nguva yatiri kurarama yakaipa vana vaMwari, the devil wants you to think kuti there is peace when there is no peace. We are living in the end times, Jesu ave pedyo kudzoka and satan anoda kuti Jesu adzoke iwe usina kugadzirira, so the devil has raised false prophets to preach shoko rinoita kuti urambe uri muzvivi usatendeuke and not to pay attention to the second coming of Christ. The devil wants you to think kuti you are safe without Jesus when you are not.
Iko kuna Jeremiah 14 paVerse 14 Mwari Vanoti I have not commanded them neither spake unto them, handina kuvaraira kana kutaura navo. Ahhhhhh, ndadzidza kuti haazi munhu wese anozviti Mwari vamuti zvakati nezvakati anotaura chokwadi, vamwe they lie, anogona kukunyeperai kuti Mwari vanditi so & so but iye asina kubvira ataura naMwari. zvakudawo kuti iwewe munhu uve nePersonal relationship naMwari so that unopota uchibvunza ivo Mwari kuti nhai maporofita aya ndimi makavatuma here.

The Lord said they prophesy unto you a false vision, vanoporofita zviratidzo zvenhema, unogona kutoudzwa kunzi ndaona a vision yekuti zvakati nezvakati but ipo pasina vision yamboonekwa

To be continued

Peace & Safety (Part 1)

Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Jeremiah 14:11-16

Last year takadzidza kuti pane hondo irikuitika between good & evil in the sermon “Aluta Continua”, the war is still continuing, but dambudziko rinogona kuitika nderekuti imo muhondo imomo kune vamwe vanogona kuudza varwi vehondo kuti relax, hondo yakapera (but iyo isina kupera zvayo) ivo varwi vacho vagoto relaxer vachiti hondo yakapera, kusvika pakutorasa pfuti vachiti hondo yakapera and then the enemy attacks them vasingafungire. Iwe wamboudzwa kunzi there is peace but iko kusina peace, wamboudzwa kunzi there is safety but iko kusina safety. Nhasi shoko ririkuti Peace & Safety but iko kusina peace and safety yacho.

Muporofita Jeremiah pane paanonzi naMwari rega kunamatira vana veIsrael uchivakumbirira zvakanaka. kana vachizvinyima zvokudya, handinganzwi kuchema kwavo, kana vachiuya nezvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zveupfu, handingazvigamuchiri asi ndichavapedza nemunondo nenzara uye nehosha (Jeremiah 14:11-12). Huipi hwevanhu ava hwainge hwanyanya uye vainge vasingade kutendeuka kubva pane zvakaipa, they just wanted GOD’s help kana vawirwa nematambudziko but kutendeuka kuti vasiye zvakaipa vanga vasingade.

This is judgement yanga yabva kuna Mwari, vaisa mutongo wavo pamusoro pevanhu vaisaterera, but Jeremiah achinzwa izvi anobva ati “Haiwa Jehovah Mwari tarirai vaporofita vanoti kwavari : Hamungaoni munondo, kana kunzwa nzara asi ndichakupai rugare rwazvokwadi panzvimbo ino.

Hona zvikaita apa, Mwari varikutaura disaster ichauya, munondo/sword (representing war), nzara (famine) and hosha (pestilence). But kwaita mamwe maProphets anzi naJeremiah varikuudza vanhu kuti You shall not see hondo, kana drought but you will have peace in the place. Already patoita 2 contradicting messages, Mwari varikutaura zvavo and maporofita varikutaura the direct opposite. Kana zvadai izvi whom must we believe, toterera here maporofita nekuti vane a good message inofadza or toterera Mwari even though vaine message yatisingafarire?

The choice is yours hama yangu but chandinoziva ndechekuti Isaiah 40:8 inoti uswa unooma, ruva rinosvava asi shoko raMwari wedu richagara nekusingaperi. Isaiah 55:11 yoti iyo shoko rinobva kuna Mwari haringadzokere kwavari risina kuzadzisa zvavari tuma. Romans 3:4 yoti let God be true, but every man a liar (Mwari ngaave wechokwadi, asi vanhu vose vave venhema).

Ukaona munhu achitaura zvinopikisa zvinotaura Mwari, pakadaro ipapo zvirinani kuterera Mwari pane kuterera munhu nekuti Mwari vane ability yekuzadzisa zvavakataura nekuti kubudikidza neshoko ravo Vakasika nyika ino, saka kureva kuti shoko ravo rine simba, manje kana zviri zvemunhu, haaa hapana nyaya, a human being can speak things which he is not able to do.

Mwari arikuudza Jeremiah about the judgement to come, about the disasters to come but paita dambudziko ndepekuti kune mamwe maporofita akatomhanya kare with a different message from message yaMwari. Kune hondo irikuuya kune drought irikuuya kune hosha irikuuya but at the same time kwaita maporofita aiudza vanhu kuti don’t worry, hakuna hondo irikuuya, they are promising people peace, varikuparidza a message inofadza vanhu but ichipesana nezvinotaura Mwari.

Mwari ndipo pavanobva vaudza Jeremiah kuti these prophets prophesy lies in my name, vaporofita ava vanoporofita nhema muzita rangu, handina kuvatuma, kana kuvaraira, vanokupofiterai zvavanoti vakaona but idzo dziri nhema, nezvekuuka zvisina maturo, nekunyengera kwemoyo yavo.

Nyaya yacho haina kumira mushe, muIsrael maita vaporofita vanotodeidzwa nevanhu kuti prophet so and so, man of GOD and vachitaura maProphecies avo, but ivo Mwari voti vaporofita ivavo vanoporofita nhema muzita rangu. Even though they have a title yekunzi Prophet hazvireve kuti vatumwa vaMwari, kwete, rega kuvhunduka zita kuti kana wanzwa munhu achizviti prophet wofunga kuti akatumwa naMwari, aiwa vamwe vanozvituma, vamwe ndivo vanotumwa nasatan. A title on its own is not a guarantee yekuti munhu akatumwa naMwari
