"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1 (NAS)
Tired of conflicting information? Feel like you're bipolar or can't make up your mind?
We've talked about this before but it bears repeating. Demons can't read your mind, but they can try to inject thoughts into it. It's your job to decipher which thoughts are your own, which are from God, and which ones are from enemy spirits trying to trip you up.
How do you figure this out?
"Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I might not sin against You." Psalm 119:11 (NAS) "By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you heave heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." 1 John 4:2 (NAS)
"We are destroying speculations and every lofty things raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ," 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NAS)
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 (NAS)
"So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, 'If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.'" John 8:31-32 (NAS)
Read your Bible. Pray. Know what you believe. Test everything against God's truth. Not just on special occasions, but daily as if your life depends on it. Because it does.
