Test the Spirits - 1 John 4:1

Have you ever heard someone say, "God told me..." and immediately felt a little uneasy? Same here. 😅 In this message, we’re diving into 1 John 4 where the apostle John urges us to test the spirits – because not every “word from the Lord” is actually from the Lord.

We’ll unpack:

- Why “God told me” can sometimes shut down healthy conversations.

- How to biblically discern if something is truly from God.

- Why crowds, charisma, or confidence aren’t reliable signs of truth.

- How to spot teachings that align with God’s Word and character.

And yes… what to do when someone randomly walks up and tells you you’ve got a “spirit of perversion”. 😳

Let’s talk Holy Spirit, false teachers, and how to navigate faith with humility, love, and truth.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hearing God's voice (or someone else claiming they have), this one’s for you.

Let us know in the comments: Have you ever been told “God said…” and didn’t know what to do with it?
