I was reading in 1 John 4 1-3 where we are to “test’ the spirits around us due to the fact that many false Prophets have gone out into the world. John goes on to write how we can know that the spirit is from and of GOD. Thank you JESUS!!!
The discerning of Spirits is a Gift from the Holy Spirit. It enables us to distinguish Good from Evil. It makes you aware!!! As a person grows in his or her relationship with GOD a kind and gentile Spirit of Discernment is developed through the Love of all things pure , however , the Spirit of Discernment given by the Holy Spirit to those GOD chooses removes any doubt of Good or Evil in our presence. It is a Gift that guards and protects us in our Christian walk. Using this Gift in the Power of the Holy Spirit enables us to walk boldly through life , even should we find ourselves surrounded by darkness in our callings. Glory to GOD!!!
Remember , both Good and Evil Spirits operate according to the condition of our souls. As believers we need to awake each and every morning and call upon GOD to dwell within us with HIS Holy Spirit. When we are in constant contact with GOD we find ourselves under HIS Favor and more likely to receive HIS Gifts!!! Prayer works!!! Amen!!!
I am so thankful that Spring is in the air!!!
I Love you!!!!!!! Mark
Hello Mark, I would like to introduce myself as a believer that has recently comemorated his 50th year (Jubilee) in Christ with the Gift of “Discerning of Spirits” and it is and has been so much more than that which you have written about! This is the first time to your site but I have read snippets from Zemanta while composing my own posts on the “Gifts”. How much of what you write is from personal experience? What is your gift(s)? I do not have time to read much of other believers writings because I am swamped with learning to set up and optimize 10 of my own sites, as well as post and to come back and edit my mistakes because I am usually up till the wee hours and mentally exhausted when I post.
Please respond. I am considering linking to your site.
David
PS. It’s 12:30am and I am not yet done for the evening.
Amen Dave!!!
