"Test the Spirits" 1 John 4:1-3

John reminds us as the beloved children of God that we must test the spirits because many evil and deceiving spirits and anti-christ have gone into the world to deceive and destroy. These evil spirits and their false prophets appear as sheep in order to devour the unexpecting sheep. We who are God's beloved need to be very discerning of the voices and influences we listen to. If it doesn't sound like Jesus or prompt us to love like Him then it is a deceiving spirit. If the voice prompts us to pursue a self-directed and self-centered life it isn't the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God will always affirm that we are His beloved and as such are called to express His selfless love to the world. We know it is the Spirit of God because it begins by leading us to say, not my will but yours Lord.
