2 Chronicles 18

So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’  Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.” vv.21-22

Read chapter 18
The Lord allows a lying spirit in the prophets.  What?  So what's going on right now is the king of Judah and Israel (Jehoshaphat and Ahab) are together totaling about if Israel should go to war against Ramoth Gilead.  Ahab calls for 400 prophets who all say the same thing, but Jehoshaphat knows somethings off and requests "prophet of the Lord" (v.6) instead of "these prophets of yours [Ahab's]" (v.20).  So Micaiah the prophet of the Lord comes in and give the exact opposite of what the 400 said and tells him it was God's plan so he'd walk right in to his death.  Ahab doesn't believe Micaiah and goes up against Ramoth Gilead - taking Jehoshaphat with him and there Ahab dies just like Micaiah - the only one who said so.  Have you ever been in a situation where the majority of people say one thing but one person says differently and you don't know which one to linnet to or feel there's something to pay attenuate to even if it's only one person's words?  How do you discern?  How have you responded?  Why do you think the Lord used lying as a way of His will?
