discernment is not just designed for you to know the difference between Spirits because it's called discernment of spirits it's a way to know what spirit is in a place or what is what is the spirit the individual is operating with or what is inflicting that person that is what discernment is people confuse logic with discernment or wisdom with discernment a lot of the church issues are not a discernment issue they are wisdom issue people are just not in scripture because discernment has a specific use and the specific use is spiritual things mhm when I come to people and I want to minister to people discernment alerts me of what God is interested in wow good do you get it m so when I'm not trying to see like the woman I ministered today I just touch by passing by her immediately I saw her have been operated cut on a womb when she was 15 M now I didn't know why she was cut in a womb but I knew she had surgery when she was 15 exact age then now I know God is interested with this person because why would I know this when I was not looking for it because discernment is also how God instructs you and Direction so when people say use discernment they don't really understand the purpose of discernment right wow when the Bible says test every Spirit to know if it be of God but you cannot test a spirit if you don't have discernment you see most of the prophets of old and even the Lord Jesus himself if he was in today's time they will call him a wizard a warlock because those who function by the spirit of God are strange the Bible says we are like the wind those who are born of the spirit are like the wind nobody knows where you're going knows where you're coming what you may do may be strange how is Jesus who the same Jesus who touched people's eyes and told them then see and their eyes was open is the same Jesus reaching to the ground taking dirt spitting on it putting it on a Blind Man's eyes telling him to go and wash his eyes why did you need to do that you can just say see and you'll see right why did you need to do that why did Elisha need to lay on a child on top of after praying saying Lord give him back his spirit and then you lay on the boy for him to come to life I thought it would be just enough to say God give him back his Spirit you see discernment is how God instructs you so when people want to use discernment they have already failed you can't use discernment wow wow discernment is the operation of the holy spirit inside of you M Nobody Knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of that is within man this is First Corinthians 2 I believe 10 even so nobody knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God so discernment is my ability to know the thoughts of God when I look at something because if you have the mind of Christ if I look at something I am supposed to know what is God's opinion concerning those things because seeing is not the instruction you see people who are in the Demonic world can see they don't see from heaven but they can see the woman that had the spirit of divination knew that Paul and Silas are the spirit of God and they KN she knew that they were going to lead them to God so she saw correctly but that wasn't the mind of God do you understand if she knew the mind of God it would be they have come to deliver you from the spirit that has bound you but because she did not have the mind of God she just thought we on the same team do you get what I'm saying so discernment removes the human element from you you begin to see things Through The Eyes Of God that's what discernment is when the Lord Jesus will say I must do what my father tells me or I must be about my father's business he's with his disciples and he tells them uh we have to go and wake Lazarus up our friend is asleep they say if he's asleep he wake up the Bible says he told them plainly he's dead and we have to go and wake him up and I I have to go and raise him up that's what he said right but watch this what made Jesus wait is because he knew his father's mind he wanted Lazarus to die so that he can prove who Jesus is if Jesus used compassion and wisdom wisdom would have said go before Lazarus died M wow wow wow but discernment because Jesus is the Lord of life God said let him die and then you bring him back see discernment will instruct you because it is God instructing you sometimes God will allow things to die so that when you are lifted by God nobody can say your wisdom did it you can't even give yourself credit it be the instruction of God sometimes people try to save Things based on human or Christal Centric idea but God is not a Christian you know that we are Christians because we are followers of Christ but God is not a Christian God is just God yeah there is the right way there is the wrong way and there's God's way MH so the right way is not always God's way mhm isn't that crazy the right way is not always God's way because you see as a Christian we are taught we have to do right which is correct but when you become born of the spirit you are no longer led by the law you are led by what the spirit so what we may so what may appear weird to people what may appear strange to people will actually be to your advantage you know there's a time I spoke about why men of God get divorced and people with no wisdom they like ah how can you say God is making people divorce people and whatever they didn't listen to what I said why because they are not listening by the spirit have you ever noticed when I preach I say listen to me by the spirit of God it's I'm actually telling you to listen to me through the spirit of God not through your ears there's a reason for it mhm when you become so involved with God you begin to be consumed by God because all you think is God because he has taken over your mind so the things that are humanly or Earthly lose their Essence think about zipora the wife of Moses Moses is gone for 40 days and 40 nights is he thinking about her was God thinking about his wife you see when you start thinking thinking about things like that it begins to be weird now God why are you comfortable with this man being up there for 40 days 40 nights he can't even bring his wife along do you hear what I'm saying there's a certain level of your spiritual walk with God that if you are not careful to manage the relationships that he gave you first you may lose them that's true you may lose them so true sometimes God will will allow you to even fall in love with the wrong person because he wants to bring you to a place of discernment God will allow certain relationships to fail because God wants to bring you to a place of discernment the way of God is just my ways are not your ways my thoughts are not your thoughts so how can I have your thoughts unless I have the spirit of God within me and if I have the spirit of God within me then I'm commanded to search his thoughts let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus so God wants to bring us to a certain mindset because that's where discernment is people can grab the same Bible we're reading and they can read it without discernment they will live with the law and the letter kill it but the spirit gives life mhm so discern leads you to life the law leads you to death because who can keep the law so discernment is such a complex but yet simple thing it is simple in its complexity because discernment is a matter of spiritual experience it's not a matter of just prayer wow that's why people who pray still make mistakes prayer won't keep you from a mistake discernment will but how can you have discernment if you have no spiritual experience when I was growing in the prophetic I made a lot of prophetic errors just like the prophets in scripture also made prophetic erors I'll give you one Isaiah is telling Hezekiah I believe is it Hezekiah that was going to die that goded he tells him um get your house in order you're going to die then Hezekiah cries to God God tells Isaiah to go back and tell him that he's going to live and not die and God will add 20 more years was it 20 15 more years upon his life now here's the strange thing he says ask me for a sign so that you know what I'm telling you will come to pass and then this is what Isaiah said this is the sign God is giving to you is Behold a virgin will be with child that prophecy was fulfilled over 600 years later that was a prophetic mistake wow because he gave a prophecy that ezekiah or what is his name ezekiah would not prev to see how will he see that so if he was waiting for that sign he would have died and never believed god wow Behold a virgin will be with child but you're not going to see it so there are prophetic mistakes that you will make which is being Lost in Translation a prophet a genuine Prophet is never wrong mhm they're just lost in interpretation and translation M they may mislabel the

music

time but when you mature in the spirit through experience you begin to know God's timeline you begin to know God's details you see many times when people demonize prophecy and say prophecy if you prophesy at any time that is a spirit of divination those are people that don't have have the spirit of God or if they have the spirit of God they don't have the mind of Christ because you see prophets in scripture prophesying at will yeah they went to Elisha and Elisha said if it wasn't I forget the the name of one of the Kings he said if it wasn't for him I would not minister to you go to the prophets of your fathers and they beg him he said all right bring me a Minal and then I'll tell you God's mind notice he knew how to even position himself to hear God's you see the difference there so as you grow in your experience of hearing God discernment is the ears of the spirit so you can be detailed in what God is saying because discernment is the ears of the spirit not your eyes spiritual eyes is not the eyes of the spirit because you have to remember you look with your eyes but you see with your heart so your heart is where you see not your eyes that is why faith is considered not to be sight yet faith can see but faith is usually centered on knowing through faith we know that the worlds are framed by the word of God it doesn't say through faith we see wow because the seeing of faith is through the heart but you see without spiritual experience you will not be able to discern yourself am I seeing in my mind or am I seeing in my heart different is it something I am feeling or is it something God is saying all these things are different they are not the same yeah so cultivating discernment requires spiritual experience you cannot cultivate something that is spiritual kally I cannot practice my discernment carnally I have to engage spiritually MH I don't know if you're getting what I'm saying but there is no end to spiritual chores there are things in your family that are not okay ask God to reveal to you what is happening now you have an opportunity to exercise your discernment the problem is people want to exercise on people yet when you go to people you're not experimenting you should be knowing what you're doing you should be doing these things with yourself before you go to people you see the fruits of God being with you should be revealed to you first then people who watch you know that God has really ministered to you MH I mean you guys have known me for years right M I mean you know God is with me you saw me having nothing mhm and you saw God building me yes and you saw God using me even in your personal lives in many many ways right so there's no confusion about God's hand is on him you see somebody from outside may say they're faking whatever but you my sons all of you yes you know this individually n n God is with pops you know that because you have seen it you have seen it continually experienc you know you've experienced you see sometimes people usually say ah look is that what do they call you Lala black lightning and they name you and the name you know but they can't understand why you're in the church holding a mic yet you are both successful in your acting even is successful in his acting Le is successful you know Mike is successful in music why are this gu still holding mics he doesn't compute with them because they don't know what you have seen and they don't know what God has done for you discernment begins with you if you cannot discern your own Spirit you cannot discern people's lives wow wow that's good I can see into people's life because I have seen mine I can tell people what God is saying to them because God has spoken to me and I saw the fruits of it you see some people give words to other people and all these things but the true test of a prophet in is to see if what he has has benefited him if it did not benefit him how can he give you what he doesn't have that's the thing about discernment you can't offer what you don't have that's why you find Christians one day God told me you my husband next week I don't I think I married wrong God said you are my Prophet next week I is a wizard is because they followed feelings not discernment Amen to that I hope you Le something can can discernment be considered as a being h not technically because discernment is an ability within your spirit when the Holy Spirit joins himself to you MH see First Corinthians 2:6 says we speak wisdom to them that are perfect not the wisdom of this age or the princes of this age that comes to nothing we speak the wisdom of God even in a mystery okay the hidden wisdom of God that was ordained for us unto our Glory from the beginning right I am I kind of probably messed up the quot discernment is is not a being mhm discernment is God manifesting through you because discernment is not based on information you have it's based on information God has Solomon had wisdom about everything because it was the mind of God that was in him does that make sense well okay let's run my wife is calling okay
