What Spirit Is Your Go-TO person Operating In?

Babyyyyy lets get into it! Wow, right? The title might sound a little crazy but hear me out!  This revelation hit me hard while studying the Bible, and I knew I had to share it.  Here's the thing: the people we trust most, our "right-hand men," can unknowingly operate in spirits that harm us and lead us away from God's blessings.

Let's add some scripture

We all know the story of Adam and Eve, the turning point for humanity. But recently, I saw it in a new light.  In Genesis 3, the serpent only speaks to Eve, manipulating her with lies.  Interestingly, in the earlier chapters, God calls everything He creates "good," including Adam and Eve. "Good" means approved, righteous, and desired by God.  Yet, Eve entertains the serpent's deception and convinces Adam to eat the forbidden fruit.

1. Righteous people may still fall short: Adam and Eve were already good (approved, righteous, and desired) in the eyes of God. Even though God approved of Adam and Eve, they still fell.  Just because someone seems good in your eyes doesn't mean they won't lead you astray. Time and time again we have shown that we fall short, and if we have the ability to fall short for God, we of course can sometimes fall short for each other.
   

2. Beware the Whispers: Eve, not Adam, spoke with the serpent.  She entertained his lies.  The moment she believed him, she began operating in a spirit of deception.  Be mindful of the influences in your life and who is whispering in your ears. Adam did not speak to the serpent, but he had a trust for Eve and more susceptible to her persuasion. He wasn't aware of the conversations she was entertaining, or what she came into agreement with. The moment she started to believe what the serpent was saying, was the moment she started operating in a spirit of deception. You dont know who the enemy uses to get to you. Adam definitely didnt know the enemy was using eve to talk him out of his blessed place. Dont let the enemy use those around you to talk you out of yours.

3. Discernment is Key:  It's natural to seek advice from loved ones, but ultimately, we must align ourselves with God.  Pray for discernment and constantly seek His guidance.

This isn't about losing trust, but about gaining discernment.  Pray for wisdom to see the spirits at play in your relationships.  The enemy can use even the closest people to tempt you.  By staying close to God, you'll be equipped to recognize these influences and stay in your blessed place.
