FOOD FOR THOUGHT :- YOU NEED DISCERNMENT HEBREWS 5 : 14 ● → Those who. .....have their senses exercised to discerned. .... The Bible says that those who are spiritually mature have their exercised to discern both good and evil. Notice, it doesnt say they use their head; it says they exercise their sense of discernment. The word exercise means to train like a bodybuilder developing muscles. To discern correctly, you must : - 1).Spend time meditating on Scriptures. 2).harmonise what you think Gods telling you with what He says in His Word. 3).Observe and obey the conditions that go with His promises. The Scripture, Who by constant use have trained themselves (NIV), means you must practice, be willing to learn from your mistakes, and grow in this area. When it comes to what is good for you and whats not, your Spirit is like the inner compass; it can guide you correctly when your head doesnt know which way to go. Some things that you have dismissed as a hunch or an intuition were actually Gods Spirit trying to convey the answer to you. But you kept rejecting it because it didnt sound reasonable . It takes faith to operate in this realm. Youll never have real discernment as long as you are ruled by reasoning. Reasoning is a product of your head; discernment is a product of your Spirit. Your head doesnt comprehend spiritual things. So when your Spirit brings forth discernment and your head start arguing about it, you never makes progress. ......The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit. .... (1 Corinthians 2:14). God says, ......What I have planned, that will I do.....(Isaiah 46:11 NIV). God has a plan for your life. To follow it, you need discernment. Think about this !
