Spying is a military strategy. In Numbers 13:1-21, God directed Moses to send spies into Canaan. In Joshua 2:1, Joshua send spies to Jericho. The devil also uses spies. In 2nd Kings 6:13-14, the king of Syria sent spies after Elisha. When the target is a great one, the spy is usually recruited from within. Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples was recruited to spy on Him. There is a saying that if the enemy within cannot kill a fellow, neither can the one outside. This is why you need to beware of spies, especially the ones close to you.

Spies collect information from careless talk. Ephesians 5:4 warns us to be careful of careless talk, even jesting. Spies ask questions to know your thoughts and plans. Proverbs 18:7 says:
“A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his souls.”

Many people are trapped by their loose tongues. If you are already succeeding, know that there is a spy nearby pretending to be your friend, so be careful of what you say. Be careful of the information you let out, no matter how trivial you think it is. One day, I went on a visit and someone offered to get me a particular brand of soft drink, only for some other fellow to insist that I had a preference of another brand entirely. I thought “Oh, so I have been observed! Should the devil decide to get at me, he could use that drink.” That day, I bid that preferred brand bye-bye. The devil can use the most minute information to get at anyone, however, your Ally can deal with the spy. He said in Matthew 15:13:
“…Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”

It is really not your duty to begin to look out for spies; let your Ally deal with them (Psalm 54:4). You just watch your tongue. Proverbs 29:11 says:
“A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.”

Did someone hack into your account?

Good morning,
I just find it amazing how the Holy Spirit confirms a person's questions (who asks the Lord for guidance) and makes it utterly clear...regardless of who it comes from!
That has happened a number of times through this Op's writings...
I saw this, this morning and had to quote it.
I am not a member of this pastor's church nor have I ever even listened to this pastor's sermons before; although he has tons on Youtube as I learned about him here on Nairaland.
I am not an endorser either, because I am very wary about supporting folks just because...he/she is popular.
However, being blessed by a person's writings tells me something about the Holy Spirit and how He operates many times.

So you have a “spy” suspicion? Can we know about it?
