Not everyone who claims they are preaching the Good News is filled with the Holy Spirit of God. The Bible warns that the world is filled with false prophets who will deceive people while claiming they are speaking God’s truth. We may receive these harmful messages through our television programs, books, friends, co-workers, or even some churches in our community. We are to test the spirit of these teachings by comparing their message to the truth in Scripture. It can be easy to be led astray if we do not spend time in the Bible and surround ourselves by other Spirit-filled believers.
