PETER'S DIFFERENT SPIRIT

God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.

Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

James and John were not the only disciples to be influenced by the spirit of religion. Peter, too, fell prey to this self-righteous spirit. If the spirit of religion could influence Jesus’ chosen disciples, then none of us are immune. Let’s study the Scriptures to gain insight into how the Apostle Peter was affected.

One day Jesus told His disciples that He would have to go to Jerusalem, suffer many things and be killed, but would be raised up on the third day. Peter took Jesus aside for a private talk and began to reprimand the Lord for saying such things. But Jesus was quick to respond to Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!” (Matthew 16:23) Like James and John, Peter did not know what spirit he was of that day.

Jesus saw the influence of a different spirit (pneuma) at work on Peter that day and was very specific in rebuking Satan (the spirit) and not Peter (the person). Notice also that Jesus spoke directly to Satan, not an attitude. The point of these two examples is to demonstrate three things:

1. It is possible to be influenced by a different spirit.

2. Jesus taught us to be aware of the operation of a different spirit.

3. It is possible to do something that looks religiously correct but could be done out of a wrong religious spirit.
