Though the movement presents it as trusting God, the idea that we can relax and let down our guard, accept any experience or spirit that is offered, and give in to our emotions, is not from God.
We know this because He has warned us repeatedly in His word to guard ourselves carefully and to be alert at all times. He has not promised to protect us if we disregard what He has warned us of again and again.
Need some convincing? Please look up and read the following verses- they are just some of the many places in the scriptures we are warned to be alert and on our guard -and remember, when God repeats Himself, we can be sure it is because something is important for us to know and is for our welfare.

''We are His people and the sheep of His pasture,'' (Ps 100:3). Let us find safe pasture, rest for our souls, and faithful direction once again where He has so carefully and lovingly provided for us- in His faithful word, the Bible.
