This is not some clever way of getting you to solve a math problem. It is six plus one because the first six ways are indispensable. Every Word from God must pass the first six tests. If it fails even one out of the six, throw it out or keep it in the cooler. The seventh is also very crucial but again it is not. You can authenticate with just the first six. So let us just say the seventh is an added advantage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->Test #1: <strong>Does this agree with the Bible?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/111\/luk.21.33\">Luke 21:<sup>33<\/sup> [NIV]<\/a> <em>\u201cHeaven and earth will pass away but My words will never pass away.\u201d <\/em>Why will God\u2019s Word never pass away? It is because God will never invalidate His Word. If God says you should wait till marriage to have sex, He is not going to change His mind. In fact, some people\u2019s reason for cohabiting is because of bills. Does it agree with the Bible? God wants you to check. It is so important that you align with the Bible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whatever decision you want to make, whatever voice you think you can hear, the question is, does it align with God\u2019s Word? Paul says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/111\/gal.1.8\">Gal.1:<sup>8<\/sup><\/a>, <em>\u201cLet God&#8217;s curse fall on anyone, including myself, who preaches any other message. <strong><u>Even if an angel<\/u><\/strong> comes from heaven and preaches any other message, let him be forever cursed\u201d <\/em>[emphasis added]. God will not contradict His Word and the vast majority of God\u2019s will is in God\u2019s Word. If I am going to estimate, I would say maybe seventy or eighty percent of God\u2019s will for your life is already in the Bible [in God\u2019s Word]. So the easiest way for God to talk to you is to recall a verse of the Bible in your mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Test #2: D<strong>oes my church family confirm this?<\/strong> The people I do life together with, do they confirm this? The Christian life is a family life; the Christian life involves being a part of God\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Holy Spirit, I pray that these tests I am learning, will become corner stone filters in my walk with God, in Jesus Name.
