Sources of inspiration
All inspiration does not come from God. The evil one has the power to tap into those channels of revelation and send conflicting signals which can mislead and confuse us. There are promptings from evil sources which are so carefully counterfeited as to deceive even the very elect. Elder Boyd K. Packer, October 1989

Gift of discernment
A man must have the discerning of spirits before he can drag into daylight [this] hellish influence and unfold it unto the world in all its souldestroying, diabolical, and horrid colors; for nothing is a greater injury to the children of men than to be under the influence of a false spirit when they think they have the Spirit of God. Joseph Smith, April 1842
