Not every spiritual experience or message comes from God. The Bible commands believers to test every spirit according to God’s Word. We should never accept a teaching simply because it is popular or accompanied by signs and wonders. Let the Scriptures always be our final authority. Scriptural Readings for the Day 1 John 4:1 (KJV) “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Acts 16:16-17 KJV 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. Prayer Lord, give me wisdom to test every teaching by Your Holy Word. Keep me from error and establish me in Your truth. Amen.
