Confidence in Hearing God:

Something can be accurate and still not be from God. That's the hardest part of discernment, and it's what we're working through today.

This week we've been talking about prophecy, and a question came in about something I said on Monday: that accuracy is not the test. Today I explain what I meant, using the slave girl in Acts 16 who said something completely true while serving something demonic. I also share what happened in Maui with a tarot card reader, and something the Lord did at church on Sunday that I haven't talked about yet.

Questions we answer today

What's the difference between something being true and something being truth? Why does Paul cast a spirit out of a girl who was telling people the truth? Why are tarot cards, psychics, and horoscopes a counterfeit rather than harmless? What does it mean that the enemy disguises himself as an angel of light? What's the difference between a private prayer language and a public message in tongues?
