1 | Proof of wrong spirit vs. Holy Spirit | Matthew | D.D.1961 | 46221 | ||
Is there a way to find out if an evil spirit made you believe it was the Holy Spirit? I asked my husband (Mormon) to pray and ask that only the true spirit of God would speak to him and to come into his heart and he said that nothing became of it, but when he prayed years ago about the book of Mormon, he had a "burning in the bosom" and that is how he "KNOWS" the book of Mormon is true. However, I told him about the part in the bible that says that even a demon can present themself as a spirit of light. He continues to believe he is filled with the Holy Spirit. Is there any way that I can prove to him that he will believe that he doesn't have the true spirit? DD | ||||||

wow...what an awesome question---i think that many people struggle with that today. yes, satan trys to appear as an angel of light many times, but inside he is a lion waiting to devour. when i question whether or not something is from God...i hit the bible with prayer and praise. Sometimes that still doesn't answer my question -- so I hit the facts. Its important to try to let the "Holy Spirit" lead you -- because it could be your own mind somtimes. Its important to remain balanced and look at the practical aspect of some things....for example-- i have a dear friend who is buddist, and many friends who are into the new age "self god" thing. this can sometimes be discouraging, but I hit the facts...i KNOW the bible is real because i have read the facts. sure God is working in my life, but that statement is hard for some people to understand. there is hard evidence also---everything from the manuscripts, to science, and philosophy.....in the end, it always points to God. when helping others understand this...always do it with a loving heart---never rebuking or becoming angry, and if nothing seems to happen, your father in heaven has seen what you have done and will reward you. and believe it or not...that person is better off than before you spoke to them, in a way they have grown in the Lord, even if it only is head knowledge. maybe the next person who comes along will hit it home for them, thanks to you who planted the seed. know what i'm saying? hang in there---and pray unceasingly | ||||||
