1Ki 13:18-19 | MHM | STEP | v. 18-19 : The old prophet lied and said an angel had told him to bring the man of God back to his house for a meal. Believing the lie, the man of God went back and ate with him (1 Kings 13:18-19 ). This shows that it is sometimes easier to resist temptation from enemies than from those who pretend to be friends or even fellow believers. We must test every message by God’s word (1 John 4:1 ).
