If think the following way, chances are you are under a Seducing Spirit

 1 Timoth 4:1-2

 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Symptoms that you are under a seducing spirit:

Are you constantly arguing with other believers?

Do you respond saying I don't understand.

When someone mentions God do you phrases like "yeah but," "God and" and other things

stating faith is not enough?

1 Timothy 4:1

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

How do you know when you're under a seducing spirit and a doctrine of a devil?

Keep it simple.

A spirit is, according to my definition, is the basis of a noun that makes any noun a noun.

Did the spirit seduce you? Did it make you want to fight racism, as an example, equally, more, or as well as walking with the Lord. Do you argue with Christians that say just pray instead? If you answered yes to any of those questions you are under a seducing spirit.

A doctrine of a devil means the spirit goes against God. For example saying "We're God," is a doctrine of a demon. Because it goes against the truth, which is God. If a doctrine of a devil seduces you, you have officially taken heed to both seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

Romans 1:31kjv

31 Without understanding

Romans 1:31 kjv

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

All doctrines of devils are inherently evil and same with seducing spirits, however seducing spirits can be more subtle.

The American Dream, Fighting Racism, Teachers Stating you Be a rocket scientist if you want to and you succumbing to it, anything can be seducing spirit.

I want to be a servant of the Lord. That should be your only dream in life.

Do not twist having fun going a Christ while being a Christian with enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you worked and walked alongside the Lord. Having fun, you simply are a Christian, but you worked for loving the pleasure of it, and not for giving the glory to God. And that is sign that you are under a spirit against Christ.

What you matters. Do not be deceived. A righteous man judges all things.

Denotation vs. Connotation

Denotation is when you mean what you say, literally. Connotation is created when you mean something else, something that might be initially hidden.

Be careful. You may mean well. You're connotation may even be 100% correct. That does not mean you are not under a seducing spirit. If you say do not go to a pastor and go to secular guidance for metal health first you are under a seducing spirit against Christ. Hopefully what you mean is "Based off my experience medication that a pastor most likely cannot provide my counselor and psychiatrist can help with." Now a Christian has a right to say, "I'll trust my prayer instead." You can I say my counselor has good advice, and I highly recommend you seek a psychiatrist, but once you say "God can't," and you start denying his ALL POWERFULNESS your evil and under a seducing spirit. Simple as that.

Pray for wisdom.
