Members Preview | 904: Testing a Lying Spirit | Larry Ragland

How do you know the spirit speaking to you is telling the truth? In this episode, Tony sits down with Larry Ragland to examine spiritual discernment and the danger of entities that mix truth with deception. They discuss false voices, NHI, testing supernatural claims through Scripture, and why discernment requires more than simply trusting an experience because it feels good or sounds convincing. The conversation ultimately turns to salvation, evangelism, and the responsibility Christians have to recognize deception and point people toward the truth of Jesus Christ.
