For everything we do or say, an action or a decision we are taking, there is a spirit within us influencing it.
We must always check what spirit is influencing our actions. You can be a powerful man of God, filled with the Holy Ghost, and still be influenced by the devil. (Matthew 16:13-23)
Test all spirits (1 John 4:1), don’t just conduct tests on the spirits in other people; conduct a test on the spirit influencing you too.
“A good way to know is to check if your decisions and actions are in line with the various expressions of the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. Always weigh your thoughts and actions against the expressions of the fruit of the Spirit.”
MEMORISE: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)
