Is it an illusion or is it a reality?
Preface: 1. World statistic says: Say this to each other-->
“I am right here with you!” can save 800,000 human bodies from committing suicide each year!
This may be truth in saving bodies!
2. But if we can feel that the Lord says this to us, we can also save souls from going to hell!
A. Upon this world there are genuine Jesus believers and demons believers!
1. Those live a life according to what is in the Bible is genuine Jesus believers.
2. Believers do not do what is in the Bible are demons believers!
3. To those having believed Jews Jesus said they belong to the devil! John 8:31-44
4. To those say they preached, cast out demons and performed many miracles in Jesus’ name,
Jesus said they were evildoers! Matt.7:21-23
5. Apostle John said to Jesus: Master we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to
stop him, because he is not one of us." Luke 9:49
6. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 2 Thes.2:9-10
B. How do we know which is what?
1. A man said he was filled up with the Holy Spirit!
Up to the point his tongue was able to issue the sound of the Holy Spirit!
2. The way to test is this! Do you know what John 3:16 says?
He immediately recite John 3:16 according to Chinese translation Bible!
3. Chinese Bible translation is incomplete! He did not know this!
Therefore, what filled him is not the Holy Spirit that inspired disciples to write the Bible!
4. If what filled him is the Holy Spirit, he has to know!
C. How do we know which is what?
1. Many denomination people keep saying to themselves and to each other->
Thank God, praise the Lord, dead set thinking that the Lord is with them and watch over them!
That is why they feel so good in their way of living!
2. But we know Titus 3:10-11 says denomination people are warped, sinful and self-condemned!
3. Therefore, we know their feeling that the Lord is with them and besides them is an illusion not real!
4. Yes, this illusion may be able to save their bodies! But not their souls!
D. How can we know for sure the feeling is real?

The church of Christ is the body of Christ! Eph.1:22-23
2. Be sure to understand why Jesus build the church of Christ! Matt.16:18
