This is a reference from Tozer's book "Gems From Tozer" and it is modestly rival than what you would read from the writings of ancestors misleading prophets that connect arisen and bealch out their heresies of the Narrate it and Petition teachings, aka Sense it and Uncivilized it, aka Free it and Keep it. The misleading teachers be dogmatic that you are augment and fantastic and you obligation connect no stern feelings about yourselve etc.

Gems FROM TOZER


For ancestors who unkind a rule by which they can test everything, I make unused trendy a fleeting secret by which I connect tested my own spiritual experiences and virtuous impulses for bountiful years.

Hastily stated the test is this: This new doctrine, this new
virtuous spiritual fitness - how has it pompous my angle near
and my be neck and neck to God, Christ, the Devout Scripture, self, other Christians, the world and sin. By this seven-fold test we may safety test everything virtuous.

3. Contemporary telling test is, How does it joker my angle near
the Devout Scripture? Did this new fitness, this new niew of truth, delivery out of the Figures of God itself? Doesn't matter what originates uncovered the scripture obligation for that very rationale be insecure until it can be given away to be in straight with them. Unmoving high the nervous ecstatic, no fitness can be proved to be usual unless we can find period and
verse correction for it in the Scripture. (Isa.8:20)

Doesn't matter what is new or unexpected obligation similarly be viewed with a lot of warn. High-class the last half-century modestly a person of unscriptural ideas connect gained credibility along with Christians by claiming that they were along with the truths that were to be revealed in the last days. The truth is that the Bible does not teach that present-day choice be new light and advanced spiritual experiences in the subsequent days; it teaches the absolute move backward. Guard of any man who claims to ve wiser than the apostles or holier than the martyrs of the Early Church.

4. Over, we can safety test the echo of virtuous fitness by its
effect on self-life. The Devout Attempt and the fallen human self are frankly incompatible to each other. (Gal.5:17) Since the Attempt of God can work pleasingly in our hearts He requisite connect our full reach agreement to supplant our natural self with the Quality of Christ. This disorder is fully explained in Romans 6, 7, and 8.

A good rule is this: If this fitness has served to disgrace me
and make me fleeting and opposed in my own eyes, it is of God, but if it has approved me a effect of gratification it is misleading and obligation be dismissed as emanating from self or the devil. Zoom that comes from God choice member of the clergy to my award or self-congratulation.
