Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
I JOHN iv. 1.
There are intuitions and intuitions. So a blind following of intuitions is bad; and all intuitions should be tried, whether they are of the Truth, or only echoes from mortal mind, which, if we follow, will lead us into the ditch, where we shall be covered with mire. The presence of an intuition is not necessarily the presence of an angel. We can not safely abandon ourselves to the guidance of intuitions while we are in bondage to the flesh, for the flesh leadeth us astray. There is a better light, the light which was in Christ, and which is the Life of men.
