We judge the spirit by what? By God's 00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:24.620 word, by the knowledge of God's word. We subject 00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:27.879 the spirit and their operation to God's word 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.980 so that we can distinguish them. We judge the 00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:33.779 spirit, we subject them to God's word so that 00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:37.019 we can what? So that we can be able to pick out 00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:40.879 on them or know them or recognize them. So what 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.799 is the purpose of these gifts? The purpose of 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.240 these gifts, one, is to lift the veil that covers 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.659 the unseen spiritual world. The purpose of these 00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:55.779 gifts is what? Is to lift the veil. You know 00:14:55.779 --> 00:14:57.940 we are talking about a kind of operation, right? 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.279 A kind of manifestation, is it not? So when we 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.500 see the manifestation, we see the operation because 00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:08.100 now normally, people naturally, people will just 00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:13.820 receive it. Like I always say jokingly, in the 00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:16.919 prayer thing, that one of these days, we will 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.879 just take everybody to one secondary school. 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.299 We don't know, I don't know whether they have 00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:23.559 that. You know, in left K, I always use left 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.159 K. And then in the secondary school, they now 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.379 send a secular to us, that these children, they 00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:32.379 just feel there is something demonic. Let me 00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:34.139 tell you, everybody in the world, whether they 00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:37.159 are safe or not, they know what demons are.
