Reading:
1 John 4:1-12

We live in perilous times. Deception and deceivers abound at every turn, even in places where truth should safely reign.

No matter where I am, I must stay alert and attentive:

“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).

To effectively test the spirits, I must know the Holy Spirit well.

Is my heart open to that?

Is my heart open to Him?

[Ye are of God...and have overcome them (1 John 4:4)]
from 1 John 4:4

Surely you could add something...
