Be not deceived...
>> Know and hold on to and use the Word of God – it is our standard of truth
>Eve knew the Word of God but didn't hold onto it or use it against the enemy.
> Jesus knew and USED the word of God and held onto it in the time of temptation
>> Test everything
> 1 Thessalonians 5: 19 – 22 “Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with
contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.”
> 1 John 4: 1 “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 from God.”
>Acts 17: 11 “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for
they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to
see if what Paul said was true.”
> Test scripture against scripture. Often false teaching comes from the Bible. Look at the
context of the scripture and look at the teaching in view of all the scriptural doctrines to
see whether it has been taken out of context or not.
>> God has give us the Spirit of truth
> John 16: 13 “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.”
>> Be humble
> God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud.
> Pride comes before a fall. God gives people over to their lusts.
> A humble person is teachable and accepts correction and rebuke.
> Humility acknowledges our own weakness and proneness to falling
> Submit to one another – the body ought to protect itself.
> The pastor ought to be a true shepherd and protect the flock and not be a hireling who
flees when the wolves arrive.
