deception

Are you worried about deception? You have an enemy, who is eager to lead you astray, and he can offer suggestions to you, but he cannot influence you against your will. I am not the author of confusion. I speak to you in many ways, and all of these will be in perfect harmony. If one voice is inconsistent with the others you would be wise to test it to verify its source. Your enemy can speak in one way, but he cannot confirm his word in many ways. Your fellow believers can assist you in determining my will. If they seek me independently on your behalf you can expect consistent answers, for your enemy can’t deceive them all if they look to me.
