Is Jane the Son of the Devil?
1) Direct Answer
I won’t put that label on Jane. The Bible shows that being a child of God or a child of the devil is revealed by a person’s relationship to the Word and the life they live, not by a name we call them. God knows the heart; we discern by fruits.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Now notice what Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil” to those who rejected His Word and sought to kill Him (John 8:44). That was about their unbelief and deeds.
- The Bible says, “He that commits sin is of the devil… In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:8-10). That speaks of a willful, unrepentant practice of sin.
- “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).
- “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12-13).
- Outside of Christ we were all “by nature children of wrath,” but God makes us alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Sonship is about nature. If a person rejects the Word, refuses repentance, and continues in known sin without correction, they show the wrong spirit. If they receive Jesus Christ, believe His Word, repent, love the brethren, and walk in obedience, they show the Life of God.
- So the question isn’t a name—“Is Jane…?”—but the evidence: Does she believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Has she been born again? Are the fruits there? The new birth changes our nature and makes us children of God.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Pray for her, point her to Christ, and let the Word do the discerning. God’s desire is to save, cleanse, and make us His own.

Of course, if anyone with a common school education knows a "devil" means "tormentor." You've got a tormentor in your soul, see your pastor. You've got a torment in your body, that's what I'm here for. See? All right. Tormentor, devil... Epilepsy, that's a name the medical science gives today. When the man brought an epileptic to Jesus, he said, "My son has a devil. And oft times he throws him into the fire and into the water." See what it was? Falling, pines away, faints out: epilepsy. He said, "The devil throws h...

When He was here on earth, the devils knowed more about Him than the preachers. That's right. The devils... The preachers said, "This man's Beelzebub. He reads minds. He's the wickedest of all the fortunetellers. He's a smart fellow. I tell you. He's a mind reader. He's Beelzebub, the chief of all the fortunetellers." That spirit never did die. Notice. But the devil said, "I know who You are. You're the Son of God, the holy One of God." The devil was right.

Then when I got with the church, they told me it was of the devil; and like to scared me to death. Well, then, when He come and told me, when He said to me that night... And I said, "Well, my ministering brethren..." He said, "Yes, that's the way they did in the first place." Said, "When they was arguing what kind of buttons must be on their coats, there was the Magi out there worshipping." And when Jesus came, the ministers of that day, the preachers, said, "He is Beelzebub, the devil." And the devil turned around...

Notice. Now, the woman... If I gave any of you men here tonight a dollar bill, and would say, "Is this...?" I give you this envelope. I'd say, "Is that a dollar bill?" Why, you'd say, "Certainly not." The devil's too smart for that. But Jesus said, "The two spirits would be so close together--deceive the elect, if possible." Then, if I give you a dollar bill, it'd have to look a whole lot like a real genuine dollar, or you'd recognize it right now. Is that right? That's how the devil comes around, friends. It ain't...

...them, that they are liars, that they do not have the Holy Ghost. Just one little thing here, please, while we're all together. Judas Iscariot, as I said last night, was the son of perdition. The Bible said he was born the son of perdition. Then when he... And Jesus Christ was born the Son of God. Then God lived in Christ. Is that right? Satan lived in Judas. If He was the Son of God, born the Son of God, the incarnate Son of God, then Satan was born the son of perdition. He was the incarnate, the son of perdition,...
