More ~ THOUGHTS ~ On Discernment ~ ~ And Other Things.

To start this post I was thinking about what I said yesterday:

Funny not ‘Ha Ha’ how just giving thought to ‘thought’ “starts the ball to roll’

Today (Using won of my commonly used maxims,) “Again For The First Time!

I am thrilled seeing and knowing that Writing things down clarifies my own ‘Belief System’. Moreover, at the same time, share with my readers a perspective that possibly will open them to an enlarged picture of what is going on in their lives, too.

In addition, needing to exhort you, my readers to understand that I would not have you believe what I believe, per se. I would rather have The Holy Spirit to be your teacher, (John 14:26;) especially thru The Word Of God and then only with confirmation. (Deut. 17:6; Matthew 18:16; 2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19; Hebrews 10:28;) Then be a Berean! (Acts 17:10-11;)

Lot of believers think that Discernment is one of the So Called ‘Gifts Of The Spirit’ spelled out in 1Cor. 12. No big thing, yet it is discerning of spirits, not Discernment. In other words, not to clarify or judge something obscure or out of focus, but to be aware of what spirit is behind &/or influencing what is being said or being done.

What I will write about next time in this segment called Thoughts will be what I have hinted at in the last two. i.e. The So Called ‘Gifts Of The Spirit’
