The Holy Spirit provides discernment

Preacher:
Passage: Philippians 1:9-11 (NIV), 1 John 4:1-4 (NASB), Galatians 5:25 (NIV)

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11 (NIV)

In a world of smoke and mirrors how do you know what is true?

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. 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 have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:1-4 (NASB)

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25 (NIV)

You live true by obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit in your daily living
