*** Testing the various spirits! " Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but come to test the spirits, whether they be of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world!" - 1 John 4:1

The necessity of trying (or testing) a spirit is to determine the truth or deception behind the voice or manifestation of such! The Spirits operating in the Kingdom of God; include but are not limited to:
- Christ,
- The actual voice of God,
- Angels,
- and the Holy Spirit of God.
***
While the opposition from the kingdom of Satan includes the voices of Satan,demonic spirits, evil spirits, foul spirits,and spiritual rebels divided into principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and wicked spirits in high places!
*** Refer:
Eph. 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
- CHAPTER SIX
Contents: Domestic life of Spirit-filled believers. Warfare of the believer.
Characters:
God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Paul, Satan, Tychicus.
Conclusion: The Christian life is a warfare, a struggle not only with common calamities and inner desires, but with opposing forces of the powers of darkness which seek to destroy the testimony of the believer. It is therefore requisite that the Christian soldier be stout-hearted and well armed with spiritual weapons which God supplies. The sword of the Spirit and the access of prayer are weapons against which Satan is powerless.
Key Word: Warfare, vv. 11–12.
Strong Verses: 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18.
Striking Facts: v. 10. The Lord Jesus has met Satan at every point and defeated him. It is therefore dangerous for us to be strong except in Him Who is the Victor. Our natural courage is perfect cowardice; our natural strength is perfect weakness, but our sufficiency is always only found in Him.
