(1Ti 4:1) “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” As far as has been revealed in Scripture, “spirits (here) and devils” speaks of the same – fallen angels. So often one says, “The Lord told me” and what they say does agree with the Bible. The Bible is the test. The Holy Spirit would never direct you to anything that would contradict God’s Word.
