Spiritual Intuition and God's Word.

'What we receive in the spirit’s intuition needs to be certified by the teaching of God’s Word. To follow intuition alone and not in conjunction with the Scriptures will undeniably lead us into error. The revelation of the Holy Spirit sensed by our spirit must coincide with the revelation of the Holy Spirit in Scripture. Since our flesh is continuously active, we must be ever vigilant against its intrusion into our keeping the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.' The Spiritual Man - by Watchman Nee

Isa 8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 

The word of God must be our standard in all things.

God will never contradict Himself, including His word. If you are being led down a road that is contrary to God's word then you are not on God's path at all. By the grace of God we will learn to listen to the spirit's intuition and in learning we take it to the Bible and know it's of God.

The Devil truly does use many evil strategies to attack us and he will even use God's word if it suits Him, He used it with Jesus-

Mat 4:5  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 
Mat 4:6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

So while we must have any intuition we receive never contradict the Bible, we must pray for comprehension and truth, and protection from all the evil deception Satan would use against us.

All by the grace, the love, and the mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ now and forever!
