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.

Although, friends, Satan has got something to pattern, or impersonate anything God has. All the things that he has, he had to impersonate God with it. But where there is a false, if--there's got to be a true one somewhere for it to be made off of, or it wouldn't be false. Is that right? If you had a bogus dollar, well there's got to be a real dollar somewhere. Or if it isn't, that's the original (See?), and it would not be bogus. But Jesus was misunderstood too. He was crucified. They called Him Beelzebub. And Beel...

QUESTION: Does the "sons of God" mean angels or spirits from heaven? That was the person's question. All right. I believe that they wasn't angels. See, they were beings, "sons of God," like the Scripture says. Not angels, they were sons of God. And they come from Heaven to the earth, and was put into flesh; not "pressed themselves into flesh." I believe all flesh is born sexual outside of Jesus Christ. I believe He's the only virgin-born being that ever was---Jesus Christ. And I don't agree with Josephus on that, o...

My first revival, I looked around. I didn't know. There it was. The business man of the city, a group of them met me that afternoon and talked to me after I baptized. I had to baptized five hundred out of my first revival. They said, "What does that mean?" I said, "I don't know." I said, "I am a believer. I don't know. It might have been to you, the unbeliever. I can't tell you." But while in that room, I begin to wonder. Look. All those man, nobody could say that them priests wasn't holy man in the days of Jesus....

And death always had a stinger, that it stung people, "Ah," the devil says, "I got you, because you listened to me. Sting you! I'll put you in the grave. That sheep's blood can't help you any. That's just an animal's blood." God, in his wisdom, knowed that there would be a Lamb coming, slain from the foundation of the world. Yes, sir. And He waited for that time, for the fullness of time to come. But one day when this Lamb come, this man, Satan was even fooled. He looked around Him. He said, "If thou be the Son of...
