The spirit of error will never say no to you. The spirit of error will validate decisions that you have already made. The spirit of error will call itself prophetic, but it only ever confirms. There's not many times in the Bible where a true prophet of god had many positive things to say. They were positive in that they brought blessings and benefits to the people to whom they were prophesied if they listened to what the prophet was speaking. Spirit of error uses scripture, but only the verses that agree with what we already want. [00:59:14] (41 seconds)  #spotTheSpiritOfError Download clip

The spirit of truth does not soften the word to make it easier to swallow. The spirit of truth speaks what God speaks in love and leaves the outcome to him. Jesus said, John eight, if you continue within my word, then you are my disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. He didn't say the truth would be popular. Didn't say it would be easy. He said it would make you free, and freedom is worth far more than comfort. [01:06:35] (43 seconds)  #truthOverComfort Download clip

Freedom is worth far more than 400 voices, all reading from a small level. Micaiah carried the long level, and he ended up in prison. But Joseph carried that same long level and he saved a nation because sometimes truth will cost us comfort. Sometimes truth will cause us approval in the eyes of other people. Sometimes it'll cost you a relationship with someone who has decided that they only wanna hear from the small level. [01:07:18] (35 seconds)  #truthCostsComfort Download clip

Now you better believe me when I say that God is good. His mercy endures forever. I wouldn't be anywhere if it were not for the grace and mercy of God. He still redeems. He still restores. He still heals. He still leads. But if we only ever receive messages of affirmation but never of correction, if we are only seeking the Lord to comfort our way of living without ever being convicted, if we are only looking for the blessings of God without ever taking into consideration being accountable to God, that's not the gospel.

Is there a scripture or a conviction or a trusted voice, something that maybe the holy ghost has been pressing and convicting you on that you've been quietly avoiding because the long level doesn't give you the reading that you want. You've become satisfied with a half a bubble off plum. It looks close enough. You could call it good. And if it was a job you were just doing in the backyard to throw something together real quick, it would be fine. But if it's your profession and something you're being paid for, it's a product you'd be embarrassed to deliver. [00:51:44] (38 seconds)  #stopSettlingForHalfTruths Download clip

No. The small level wasn't lying to you outright. It just wasn't measuring enough of the surface area to give you a true and an accurate reading. The smaller level wasn't measuring enough of the issue to show you where the real problems may have lain, And that is exactly what the spirit of error does in our lives. It does not come to you with a blatant falsehood. No. The spirit of error comes to you with a partial truth, [00:31:30] (39 seconds)  #partialTruthsDeceive Download clip

John said again, first John four and one, try the spirits. But trying requires that we be willing to hear things that we do not want to hear, to receive results that we do not want to receive. What voices do we give the most access to right now? Not not who you say you follow, but whose words in your life actually say the decisions that you are making? Where do you go when you need to feel confirmed or affirmed? Hold those voices to the long level. [01:00:52] (48 seconds)  #holdVoicesToTheLongLevel Download clip

Joseph wasn't trying to secure a position in Pharaoh's court. He was just telling Pharaoh what the lord had revealed to him. Joseph wasn't managing the king's reaction. He simply held up the full word of god, even the hard parts that were hard to hear and trusted god with the results. Joseph was a steward. He was faithful with what was put in his hands including the hard things, and god honored that faithfulness. That's what it means in John one four and six. We are of god.
