My media channels all go to Garth Heckman starting today… Today I uploaded a clip of me unloading a 30 round mag in my new Glock 19X and then add some flavor to it with another weapon thrown in… 

 

Text me 30 second interviews of you asking people “whats it take to be a man” (and send me yours as well) Please let people know this is not a gender question… just simply in each persons mind we have a simple theory of what it takes to be a man… I will post them on all my social meads channels… hey I would love to hear from women as well. There are no right or wrong answers… and I don’t just want christian men, so if a guy cusses we will edit it out if its really bad.

Test the spirits.

In the Bible, the phrase "test the spirits" means to be skeptical of teachings and to determine if they come from God or a demonic spirit. This is a command in 1 John 4:1, which says, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God". 

 

 

Here are some ways to test the spirits: 

 

 

• Confession of Jesus Christ: According to 1 John 4:2-3, spirits that confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh are from God, while those that do not are not. 
  
  
• Love for God and other believers: Test if the teacher or leader lives in a loving, godly, and upright way. 
  
  
• Accuracy of teaching: Compare the teaching to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles. 
  
  
• Presence of the Holy Spirit: Test if the teacher or leader has the Holy Spirit in their walk. 
  
  
• Righteous and holy conduct: Test if the teacher or leader has righteous and holy conduct. 
  
  

The reason to test the spirits is that many false prophets have gone out into the world. The undiscerning can be victimized by these false teachers.
