You appear to be referring to this Scripture:
1 John 4:1New International Version (NIV)
On Denying the Incarnation4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Here the Apostle John is speaking of 'spirits of teachers' in a way similar to what the Apostle Paul said about spirits of the prophets in 1 Corinthians 14:32. John isn't referring here to demon possession, but to teachers who promote error. All true believers have God's Holy Spirit as John said above in 3:24. But we should realize that false prophets obey evil spirits and only a true prophet receives direct revelation from God. False prophets may and many do claim they received direct revelation from God but in fact promotes erroneous ideas/teachings. Such was the case with Simon Magus, aka Peter.

What are the different aspects of the word of god?
Just what do you mean by 'aspects?' Each individual has a spirit of man within which drives each of us to wonder and endeavor to learn whatever we can. The Word of God is revealed knowledge and understanding and is given by God as He wills for His purposes. Try studying and see as if you 'knock the door will be opened.' :)

How does God help you respond to His revelation through the Bible?
If you are a Christian the Holy Spirit dwells within you. It is the Holy Spirit that illuminates you to God's holy Word. If you are an unbeliever you are left stumbling around in the dark. (I Corinthians 2:14, "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"). Many unbelievers try to explain the Scriptures but they do not see the deeper things of God that a believer sees. Most of what they say about the scriptures is rubbish. This is why we have so much confusion about the Word of God and Christianity.

Which sky does God live in?
God is omnipresent. He is a Spirit...he isn't bound and limited like we are that we can only be at one place at one time.God can be everywhere at once.He sees all,knows all,and is Sovereign over all.Take for instance the example of the Holy Spirit for the sake of trying to comprehend this.Well, the Holy Spirit dwells within a Christian,they are given the Spirit by God..well, how can one Christian in China have the Spirit and another Christian in America have the same Spirit within them?Try not to put God in a box, he is much grander and bigger than any of us can imagine.
