When Someone Says "The Lord Told Me" Test the Spirits

  Caregivers often hear confident spiritual claims in the middle of real suffering. "The Lord told me" can sound comforting, but it raises a serious question. Who is actually speaking for God? In this episode, Peter Rosenberger walks through 1 John 4:1 and explains why Scripture commands us to test every spirit. He addresses common phrases that sound spiritual but lack biblical authority, shows how conscience can be wrongly bound by human opinion, and points back to the sufficiency of God's Word. With practical clarity and pastoral conviction, this episode helps caregivers think clearly, stand firmly, and find a true foundation when everything around them feels uncertain.
