Colossians 3:12-15 put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your heart, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
If your Spiritual leader or any other believer; does not exhibit these traits, then they are not of God. A true believer will make every effort to supplement their faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
People wake up; study the Word for yourselves’ so you will not be misled by a person title. Everyone that carries the title Bishop, Pastor, or Minister is not of God. No one needs a peaceless and argumentative Spiritual leader; to become their guide to a deeper life, especially when they have no control of their own lives. A person title does not make them Holy; the content of their character makes them Holy.
Lord, help us not believe every Spirit; but test their Spirit to see whether they are from You, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Father, we know You are love, so anyone that does not love everyone is not of You. Father, help us walk by the spirit; so we will not gratify the desires of the flesh because the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit. Father, help us pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, and steadfastness; so we can be more Christ-like, and live in harmony with each other. Lord, we count it all joy when we meet trials of any kind because we know You are with us. Father, let us teach with sound doctrine, and keep us sober-minded. Lord, help us train our children in the way to go; so they will be able to stand strong against the enemy, and will not turn from You. Father examine our hearts and remove all that is not of You; and replace it with Your courage and self-control, so we do not hinder our blessings from You. In Jesus name, Amen
