Do Not Be Deceived

Read pages 157-163 of Stephen Canup’s book, "Knowing Jesus Intimately: A Relationship of Love-motivated, Spirit-empowered Obedience," which is available for free reading in Pando Books and Edovo.

TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

The Holy Spirit will always guide us in ways that line up with the Word and

the character of Jesus. The more studied we are in the Word the easier it is

to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit. Jesus warned about false prophets.

We must be very careful to whom we listen, and everything we hear should

be carefully tested by the Word.

Do not be deceived. Your ongoing pursuit of deeper relationship with God

will help you guard against the lies and deception of the enemy.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

In reviewing the preceding examples of Deception and Truth, think

about which ones you’ve heard before. Perhaps you have even believed

some of them or know someone who does. Find scriptures that sup

port each Truth listed. Talk to the Holy Spirit for more insight and

discernment in your life.
