Morning by Morning, June 30, 2026 — Embracing the True “Spirit of Christ” and Exposing the False Spirit of Christ
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your Holy Spirit arise in me and in Your Body of Christ throughout the earth, that we may be of One Spirit, hearing and speaking and living in one accord with You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. …
“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His” (Romans 8:9).
Lord, let the true “Spirit of Christ” arise in Your people. Expose every false spirit masquerading as the “Spirit of Christ” in our land and in the earth, seeking to confuse and distort Your truth of Your Word and misrepresent the heart of Your Spirit.
You warned us of these days:
“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).
Your Apostle Paul warned us of these days:
“For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!” (2 Corinthians 11:4).
Give us discernment against deception, increased spiritual sensitivity to spiritual distortion, along with boldness to confront what is false, while “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). Not just truth, but also love. Not just love, but also truth. “Speaking the truth in love” and living the truth in love.
For You are Love (1 John 4:18). And You are Truth (John 14:6).
If we are to be Your Body of Christ, filled with Your Spirit of Christ, as Your “ambassadors for Christ” in our world, we must have the character of Christ formed in us to be expressed through us (2 Corinthians 5:20). As You are, so are we to be in our world (1 John 4:17).
So let us arise! Let Your people arise! Speaking the truth in love, living the truth in love, boldly exposing and confronting everything and everyone misrepresenting You and Your Word, presenting “another Jesus” or “a different spirit” or “a different gospel.”
Let us not back down or hide away. Let us be fearless and faithful, like those who have gone before us, refusing to bow to the tides of the times or the confusion of culture or pressures of those in positions of power. “Let God arise! Let His enemies be scattered! Let those who hate Him flee before Him” (Psalm 68:1).
And let those who love You draw nearer to You more intimately than ever before and speak up for You more boldly than ever before—“filled with the Holy Spirit, and (speaking) the word of God with boldness!” (Acts 4:31) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
My friend, may you arise in the Spirit of Christ, with the Spirit of Christ arising in you to bolding speak and faithfully live an accurate representation of the One who is both Truth and Love, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
