#6 - The Spirit of Truth

📖 Scripture Foundation

1 John 4:1-6 (NIV) - Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

💡 Harmonian Reflection: The Spirit of Truth vs. The Spirit of Falsehood

Not every voice speaks truth.

Not every presence is of God.

Not every teaching leads to light.

The world is filled with voices—some calling toward truth, others pulling toward deception. How do we discern the difference? How do we know which voice to trust?

🔥 Test the spirits.

🔥 Weigh the message.

🔥 Align it with Christ.

John tells us that every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.

Every voice that denies Him, distorts Him, or diminishes His truth is not from God.

This is the Spirit of Truth vs. the spirit of falsehood.

1️⃣ The Spirit of Truth

The Spirit of God always aligns with the Word of God.

✅ It acknowledges Jesus Christ fully—His divinity, His humanity, His lordship.

✅ It leads to deeper faith, not confusion.

✅ t calls us toward righteousness, not self-glorification.

✅ It resonates with peace, wisdom, and divine harmony.

2️⃣ The Spirit of Falsehood

The world speaks from its own viewpoint—twisting, distorting, and deceiving.

⚠ It denies Christ or reshapes Him into something lesser.

⚠ It appeals to self-interest, pride, and temporary pleasure.

⚠ It seeks to pull hearts away from God’s truth.

⚠ It thrives in confusion, division, and spiritual compromise.

🔥 But we are not left vulnerable.🔥

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

Greater is He who is in you.

His Spirit dwells within. His truth is written upon your heart. You are not deceived when you stand in Him.

This is why we test the spirits—not with fear, but with confidence in Christ.

This is why we discern—not with doubt, but with assurance that He has already given us victory.
