This may only be temporary, until the believer becomes conscious that something
is wrong, and he takes steps to regain his right condition of spirit, when the
Holy Spirit again manifests His presence and power.

Note 20
It is in this sense that the word impurity is used, on
page 78, in connection with the human
spirit. The impurity of the mixture of soul and spirit, in contrast to pure
spirit which unites with the Spirit of God in essential essence. The human
spirit should be freed from the unbending element of the soul, to move in
pliable correspondence with the Holy Spirit.

Note 22
Three warning words may be given to believers at this point of experience: 1. Do
not obey an exterior, or (apparently) interior "voice"; 2. Do not locate God as
in, or around; 3. Do not pray to God as in, or around, in the atmosphere, but as
in heaven. Cf. pages 124 to 131, on the
mistaken location of God; and pages 138, 139,
on the detection of voices from the supernatural sphere.
Note 23
The subject of speaking in tongues is not further dealt with, as the
counterfeits in connection with it are only a fraction of the countless
counterfeits being forced upon the children of God at the present time, numbers
of which are not referred to in these pages. A believer not deceived by
counterfeit speaking in tongues can be deceived and possessed by accepting other
counterfeits. An understanding of the broad principles showing the basic
differences between the way of God's working, and the deceptive imitations by
Satan, will enable spiritual believers to discern for themselves all the
counterfeits they meet with to-day.
