Those who are religious cannot understand the wisdom of God because Christianity is in Spirit not in culture. Religion and culture work hand in hand, they go together.

In the topic above, Paul is also talking about the false spirit. What is a false spirit? A false spirit is an evil spirit sent by the devil into the life of a human being. This type of spirit is called a demon. The problem we are having today is to differentiating a true Prophet, Bishop, Apostle or Pastor from a false one. How can you know that this one is true or false? You can know false prophet, bishop, Apostle or Pastor through their characters. Character is a good measure, if a preacher is indulged in stealing church money, adultery, gossiping in the church; this is contrary to the word of God. 

The second one is when a Prophet, Bishop, Apostle or Pastor gives unfulfilled prophecies. If he prays for people and there are no results. Those who have false spirits can “prophesy” (Acts 16:16-18) but cannot deliver a person or heal, instead they increase the problems of people. Today, many “men of God” are in this category. 

Then there is another kind of ministers who preach the word of God without the Holy Spirit. These preachers are good at telling a lot of legends in church which are quite contrary to the word of God; they don’t have the Spirit of God but theory, they criticize and attack ministries of true men of God.

Through the Spirit of God, men of God can prophesy, heal, preach, teach and deliver sicknesses or demons. These men of God, they look strange in a society because of their divine nature of God in them. Paul could identify the false and the true spirit, because He had the wisdom, knowledge and understanding from God and not from man. 

Let me repeat, those having false spirit can identify a problem in their prophecy but cannot do anything to liberate the person in problem; instead they increase the problem of the person.
