Good morning, ladies! ❤️ This week in She Will Stand, we're diving into a topic that I believe is incredibly important for Christians to understand, especially with the growing interest in alternative spirituality, witchcraft, astrology, manifestation and other spiritual practices. Have you ever wondered where spiritual power actually comes from? Can something appear to be good, bring comfort, or even produce supernatural results and still not be from God? And what does the Bible REALLY say about witchcraft? These are some of the questions we're going to explore this week! We'll be looking at modern Paganism and Wicca, examining biblical accounts of witchcraft and sorcery, discussing counterfeit spiritual power, and, most importantly, learning how to recognize the difference between what comes from God and what doesn't. 📖 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God…” — 1 John 4:1 (NKJV) Here's something I want you to remember as we go into this week's teachings: Just because something is supernatural doesn't mean it's from God. Just because something feels good doesn't mean it's truth. And just because something appears powerful doesn't mean it has God's approval. But here's the good news! We don't need to live in fear of the spiritual realm, and we certainly don't need to become fascinated with darkness. We need to become grounded in God's Word, grow in wisdom, and learn to exercise biblical discernment. That's what She Will Stand is all about! Helping women grow in their understanding of Scripture, recognize deception, know their identity and authority in Christ, and STAND FIRM in the truth! I'd love for you to join me this week!

Have you noticed the growing interest in witchcraft, astrology, manifestation and alternative spirituality? What questions do YOU have about these practices?

As we begin a new week, may we walk in wisdom, stand firm in truth, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Whatever challenges this week brings, remember that God's grace is sufficient and His Word remains our foundation. What can we be praying for you about this week?

This morning, we continued our study of spiritual warfare and biblical discernment by examining counterfeit spiritual experiences and supernatural deception. One of the things I emphasized is this: Just because something appears supernatural doesn't automatically mean it comes from God. In 2 Corinthians 11:13–15, Paul warns about deceptive appearances, and 1 John 4:1 tells believers to test the spirits. Scripture doesn't instruct us to blindly accept every spiritual claim simply because the experience was dramatic, emotional, or extraordinary. We're called to examine what is being taught and whether it agrees with God's Word. LET'S DISCUSS: Have you ever encountered a spiritual teaching or testimony that sounded convincing until you examined what Scripture actually said about it? What helped you recognize the difference? Share your thoughts below. You don't have to name individuals or ministries. Let's focus on the biblical principles. Remember: We don't need to live in fear of deception. We need to become grounded in the truth.

When you're in the midst of a struggle, what is the Scripture what gets you through? Comment your favourite scripture below, or post a graphic of your favourite. Here's mine:

I firmly believe that False Prophets and False Teachers are a part of spiritual warfare. Jesus warned us that false prophets would come in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7:15). That means deception won't always announce itself. Sometimes it sounds spiritual, uses Scripture, and even appears convincing. Yesterday, we examined seven biblical warning signs of false teaching. Today, we're taking that one step further by looking at the Bereans in Acts 17:11 and learning how to test what we hear against Scripture. They didn't simply accept what they heard. They searched the Scriptures to see whether those things were true. Today's discussion: Which do you think is more dangerous to believers? 1. A teacher who openly contradicts Scripture. 2. A teacher who uses Scripture but twists its meaning. Why? Share your thoughts below, and let's examine what the Bible says together. Remember: Biblical discernment isn't about becoming suspicious of everyone. It's about becoming grounded in the truth.
