Chris.

Three things mentioned here that God really wants His People to be clean from. The first is idolatry, an idol is anything that comes between us and God and hinders our Worship. The second is false prophecies, these abound in the Church today, they are not God’s “new thing” rather they are a wounding influence to the Church and offensive to God. The third is evil spirits. God’s People should be free from evil spirits, Jesus gives us authority over evil spirits and the first ones we need to deal with are the ones which would harm or attack us in some way.
