Spiritual Warfare - Discerning Spirits

A great deal of spiritual warfare is understanding the input we receive.  The source can be the daily reception of data from media, coworkers, and acquaintances; or it may be an unexpected reception of a sporadic impulse, a spiritual message intentional directed toward us a "word from the Lord," or something a church leader said recently in public or private.  Any and all of these should be weighed as to their true source: God giving it for our good, another person who shares simply because he or she can whether intended for good or harm, or the evil one intent on our ruin.  This fourth set covered some rules for discerning spirits—or possibly better stated discerning the spirit of the messenger.
