LYING SPIRITS <\/p>\n

Beware of lying spirits,
\nThey are everywhere today,
\nBe careful, just don’t listen,
\nTo a single word they say.<\/p>\n

Putting bitter for sweetness,
\nAnd darkness for true light,
\nThey deceive you and blind you,
\nAnd dim your spiritual sight.<\/p>\n

Just like God’s own servants,
\nThey smile and speak a word,
\nBut if you discern closely,
\nIt is just not of the Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
