Prove Every Voice

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."  I John 4:1.  A spirit is a voice.  Voices speak to us.  Not all speak the truth.  A spirit may sound right.  A spirit may sound sincere.  But, many prophets speak lies and deception.  We are to test every spirit.  How do we prove the voice of a prophet?  We use the divine standard that God has given.  This rule is without error.  The voice of God has stood every test, and continues to stand.  The Bible will not fail us.  The words of the Bible are true and right.  Many non-believers have railed against the word of God.  Their prophecies have failed.  Their promises have proven untrue.  Critics of the word of God come, and they go.  The word continues to change the hearts of humanity.  The word continues to comfort the distressed soul.  The word continues to uplift the fainting.  The lost find guidance in the word of God.  Light is dispensed in darkness.  Hopelessness finds its way into hope.  False voices lead one away from God.  False voices fail to fulfill the hope that can be found only in Christ.  Test every word of every prophet.
