Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: It is written that when you are truly saved you have at your disposal several spirits to guide you along. One is the spirit of discernment. This spirit will guide you by giving you the knowledge of the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. Only one person can say if this person is truly saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, that would be Jesus, our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. If you ask for the spirit of Wisdom and the spirit of Discernment, you will be gifted of both. It is as anything else in heaven, if we ask, it is ours. A single word search in the gateway will reveal scripture saying these things. I can tell you that the spirit of Wisdom can be found in Proverbs 9. |
