Glenn,
I must trust the Spirit of the Lord living in me to guide me toward =
truth with a still, quiet voice.
In 1 Kings 22, God puts a lying spirit in the mouths of evil King =
Ahab's false prophets and without the understanding of the spirit of =
God he is deceived.
"Job 32
8 But it is the spirit [1] in a man,=20
the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.=20
Footnotes: 32:8 Or Spirit ; also in verse 18"
Psalm 143
10 Teach me to do your will,=20
for you are my God;=20
may your good Spirit=20
lead me on level ground.=20
Ephesians 6
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the =
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world =
and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.=20
1 Timothy 4
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith =
and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.=20
1 John 4
1Dear friends, 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.=20
Once burnt and twice shy, I am willing to admit that I know my eyes and =
my natural instincts will deceive me.
I am just asking that those of you who buy the current macroevolutional, =
old earth hypothesis to maintain the same kind of skepticism for these =
concepts that you do for the seven days of creation.
Test and try the spirits.
God bless all your efforts, for they are mighty ones from all I have =
seen so far.
Jay
