Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1 ESV)
There are many times when we are tempted by our flesh to follow a certain way of thinking, to justify the sin in our life. We must not follow this temptation of the spirits, we must test them and see if they hold up to the word of God.
Waaaaaaayyyyyy easier said than done!! But you are absolutely right. Lord, give us a spirit of clarity and self-awareness always. Quicken us to awareness so that we can indeed test all spirits.
