"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:" How do we know we are not under the influence of a spirit other than the Spirit of God? The Bible gives us the clear answer right here. Failing to heed this warning has been the major failing of the past few generations. It has allowed the churches to be filled with Satan's influence. He is an expert counterfeiter and imitates the Spirit of God to deceive those who do not pay close enough attention. The stakes are high in this spiritual war, so we must take heed to the warning and the instruction here.
