'No matter how the feeling is during the moment of
experience nor how the phenomenon appears or declares itself to be, believers
should investigate its source. The charge of 1 john 4.1 must be strictly
observed: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
' The Spiritual Man - Watchman Nee
We get carried away
by feelings ALL the time!
Even the seemingly
non-feeling, non-sappy, unemotional person gets carried away with their
emotions. They have very strong emotions just not the emotions that are typical
in given situations.
Those who are
emotional in a typical manner have very strong emotions as well. And those
considered over-emotional have extraordinarily strong emotions and no matter
the person or their level emotion, those feelings can often carry us away.
We truly need to NOT
believe all we witness but rather EXAMINE what we witness and make sure it is
of God.
There are so many
emotionally fulfilling beliefs in our world, but we should NOT seek the
emotionally pleasing.
More tomorrow… today
has been extremely busy.
By the grace and
mercy of our LORD we will study and try the spirits so we are NOT led away by
falsehoods, but kept close to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
