Reader..

Discernment.
-

The more of God's word you have in you, the more of God's revelation you have that He causes to become "The Knowledge of God".

Getting ALL of that "down pat"..., as Paul's Doctrine, is how you : "work out your Salvation"..

The bible is a Circular Spiritual Puzzle.
Its not a linear teaching to be understood as if its a dictionary.
The Bible is "spiritually Discerned" and "they who are spiritual, (born again) discern all things"...

The reason God says to "study to show yourself approved unto God" is because when you study, you become familiar with the situation, and you become perfected by the studying... as you are practicing it.
Its like learning to play Guitar......>You have to learn the chords, to learn how to use them as a " chord family".

And the bible........God wrote it so that its a,...... "connect the spiritual doctrinal dots, by discernment"...

And what God does, is.. He shows you some Light.....and you have this..= ."OH I SEE THAT" moment.. .and that is one verse, one DOT somewhere in the NT that God has caused to become that "Rhema"..word.
So, as you study over time... and meditate on that one Dot.....that is now Rhema to you.....God will show you another one... somewhere else that is exactly another part that fits into the spiritual puzzle , and now you have more revelation..
And the NT does this for you, and TO YOU..... so, the more you study it.. is the more God helps you to discern it., and that means that you begin SEE THE SPIRITUAL, that is in the verses, vs, just reading the verse, as if you are reading a magazine.


An example... Lets say you are a non-saved Catholic.. and they read..... "Noah and his family were SAVED BY WATER"..

So, a "cult of mary"" person, is taught that they are "born again BY WATER".. so, for them, for this Cult.. the WATER is everything.. along with Mary and Church fathers".
That is their "big 3".
So, they read it like this..... "Noah was saved by water,................ just like they tell us we are also".

Now, when a CHRISTIAN reads this.. .. they DISCERN......>"Had Noah and family gotten out of that ARK, then Noah and Family would have DROWNED in that Water, along with every other living breathing creature.

So, the Christian DISCERNS that the ARK... is our CROSS of Christ... = Noah's Flood is damnation, and the ARK is His Cross.. and our way out of HELL.( eternal damnation), = is THE Cross of Christ....as that is our Noah's ARK.

See what God did for the Believer ??????, that He can't do for the Catholic unbeliever, because all they can do is READ IT.

A Catholic will argue till they bleed from their ears, that "WATER SAVED NOAH, because WATER SAVES US"....

A.) So, What is that?
That is God opening the verse inside your BORN AGAIN spirit.......and that is what a good teacher can do for you.

When you've found a good teacher, then , first of all, they will be "all about Paul"... obsessed... and they will be "all about the Cross of Christ"....obsessed.
ALWAYS, as those are the 2 Foundations.
False teachers are the opposite... as for them its "Paul who".. "the Cross what"..... and yet if they know you are looking for it, they will FAKE IT., but they can't really, but they will try....as suddenly these LIARS start talking about PAUL, and they might even mention "The Cross", but not for long......as how can they discuss what they dont KNOW for themselves.....
So then, when you read what an anointed teachers writes.. you find that inside you, something POPS... becomes enlightened...and that is your discernment and God's Spirit, connecting with the Teachers Teaching., as a revelation for you... as spiritual enlightenment.
Its very supernatural.....hard to explain.. but that is the gist of it.

Correction ....
-

Most of the time, when God corrects us... He corrects us with the Scriptures.
So, if you are not studying them, spending quality time daily with them then God has to correct you with a situation.. and that is the hard way.
So, READER... get your bible...... and spend time with it every day..

Let me help. Study these.

Romans 3:21-28
Hebrews 13:9
2 Corinthians 5:19
Romans 4:5
Romans 4:8
Colossians 1:16
Colossians 2:11
John 1:10
Philippians 1:6


The Scriptures will reach inside you and shake you up, when you are really following Jesus., and sometimes you will cry about it because its YOU who is being revealed... and that can hurt... but its a good for us. It makes us more like Jesus, everytime it happens.

A lot of false teachers, who have a Martyr Complex issue, want to say.>>"well, God is going to get you.. because you've been bad".

Well, first of all, if you've been bad, you know it inside already, .........and so, you are already being corrected by your conscience, and then, you'll read the bible or hear a sermon and you know its talking to you..........
I had someone freak out 2 days ago because he felt i was spotlighting him, when i was just talking about people who watch dirty programs on NETFLIX... so... that explains that...
You dont need more correction then that most of the time.... Just the word of God, keeping you clean....., as that is going to do it, most of the time...........that is all the correction needed.

The BIBLE
-

The Bible is ALIVE.
It talks to you. It makes you happy, or it can make you CORRECTED.

Ive seen a Holy Bible change an entire room full of mostly unbelievers, .in seconds... and many times,.. .and not just in church.

When i was first called to be an Evangelist-Teacher..........was many years ago, and i was taking seminary and working a difficult job.
And i would take my lunch and my NT to my job....((at that time, I was working as a specialized type of Industrial Draftsman.))
So, i would study my NT at work, on break, and during Lunch.. .and the very first day on this job, i went into the small cafeteria.. about 70 people, and the room was full.........everyone sitting on benches.............And i sat down, opened my cooler,.. took out my lunch, and my NT.
As as soon as i opened it.. the room changed.........I could FEEL IT... All of a sudden something happened because that Bible opened, and they didnt all look at me......it was just the Bible doing that........causing a change in the AIR, in the SPIRITUAL Atmosphere , in that room.
WOOOOOOSHHHHHH ......!!
And i worked there for 15 months, and it happened every time.....and not just on this Job.
God gave me a strong convert, while i was there.. and i discipled Him.. trained Him... , and helped some others there as well.

This reminds me of another fact about the Holy Spirit.

Someone said........."Well, i just got saved, and all my friends are horrible sinners........and so, i know i need to get away from them..
And a wise Christian said........."Just talk about Jesus and how much you love Him, and they wont hang around very long".... "You wont have to get rid of them...they'll get rid of you"...

The more your heart is opened up to the Living Holy Spirit, the more discernment we will be gifted.

You must come before the Lord with a humble spirit, plus you must be Born Again by the Spirit Of God, as you grow in the spirit so to will your discernment grow , as it comes from God, not through the written word.

The written word is confirmation of Gods truth, discernment comes by divine heart revelation.

The scriptures talk about the “discerning of spirits” as a gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:10; D&C 46:23). It means “to understand or know something through the power of the Spirit.

Reader,

Its the word of God that is the Gospel that is the "seed of the word" that is the power......

Notice...

Paul teaches....."""We (the born again)... preach Christ Crucified"""'... so that is ..>>"Jesus died on The Cross for you sin, and rose again:."

And that is taken from a BIBLE......those words....and those very words are "the power of God, unto Salvation".. that is "the Preaching of The Cross"..

So, the word of God, is Spirit and Spiritual......as the word of God is "God breathed'... = Spiritual......and that is why it must be discerned., spiritually.

When we "speak the word of God".. that is often bible verses and that is POWER.......its not just speech.

Notice.....this....

Jesus fasted 40 days, and then Satan came to Him and tempted Jesus.

What did Jesus do?
He spoke the TORAH...........to the Devil.

He used THE BIBLE's WORDS against the DEVIL, because the word of God is POWERFUL.... Its a discerner of your heart, of your motives, and it KNOWS YOU.

The Bible is Not Alive in Spirit.error.


Im not a bible Corrector.
I will never stand in front of My Savior, who is the WORD made flesh, and ever have to explain why i was casting doubt on His word the BIBLE.... on a Forum, or from a Pulpit..
Im not that evil person.......and i'll never be found as that one.
I BELIEVE the BIBLE.. I am a dedicated BIBLE BELIEVER...
I will always Lift up The Cross and Proclaim the word of God as Eternal TRUTH.

Jesus is THE Truth. John 14:6
The Holy Bible (a real one), is the word of Truth. John 17:17.

See, when a person want's a sanctified life........They dont find this by "listening to voices that give me a feeling inside "... .. Instead.. they go here.

"Sanctify them by the TRUTH... = Thy word is TRUTH"... = a BIBLE........and mostly the NT, is where the born again believer needs to stay... as that is NT CHURCH info, and you are that one... Reader.......if you are born again.

Reader , discernment comes from the Living Holy Spirit , just as His written word confirms.

Don’t believe what you see from this member or me, ..discernment is a gift from God it doesn’t come from any Bible..

I didnt say that discernment comes from the bible.
So, you need to read more carefully, before you lie again.
Really.
I said its the word of truth that sanctifies you... thats its Holy Light...... and that its the Power of God, unto Salvation.
The SEED of the WORD.. is in the word itself... because Jesus's words in the Bible are "spirit and they are life".
And that follows as.. the bible itself.

No one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Living Holy Spirit.

Actually the verse is teaching that "by the Holy Spirit" or Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, you can't say that "Jesus is accursed"..
Also, by the Holy Spirit, you are unable to say that "Jesus's isn't Lord.."

So, that has to be understood, because the Devil's owned, who are not born again, who are his "ministers of righteousness"...as Paul teaches.... will say the same thing.........but they are lying.. when they say it... because they dont believe it.....they are just deceiving Christians who are "looking for fruit" and "i need to hear you say that Jesus is Lord"....
And they will show you some spiritual fruit, they fake, and they will tell you anything else you need to here, to deceive you.

Yes, "all who call on the name of Jesus, shall be saved"..

"SAVED"

1.) forgiven all sin, first.....

2.) and then.... given the new birth, as born again.

discernment is a gift from the Living God via His Holy Spirit, the Bible confirms this.

Discernment that all Christians have....is not a Gift from God., so once again, you are just 'out there somewhere" making stuff up.

There is a Spiritual Gift of Discernment......one of the 9.

The reason the NT says that "he that is spiritual, discerns all things" is because the Holy Spirit that is in them, is showing them How.

Thats not a "gift", ..... that is simply HOW God reveals, to everyone who is born again.

The Spiritual GIFT of discernment, is not that.......

Discernment is the Holy Spirit that is in every Believer, who reveals truth and enlightens our understanding..... that one verse refers to as our spiritual eyes being opened.

Spiritual discernment is a gift from God, as soon as we become Born Again.

Hebrews 5:14further emphasizes that discernment comes with spiritual maturity, equipping believers to differentiate good from evil through experience and dependence on God. The gift of discernment plays a vital role within the church, functioning as a safeguard against false teaching and spiritual deception



We mature in the spirit, that all takes time, our senses are very much heightened when we become Born Again, as we have spiritual eyes and ears.,,discernment is a Living gift that we receive by divine heart revelation as soon as we are reborn in our spirit...a mind Blowing gift the more we mature in spirit.

Paul the Apostle mentions the gift of discerning of spirits in 1 Corinthians 12:10. John Chrysostom, in his interpretation of this passage, says that these words mean the ability to tell who is spiritual and who is not, who is a prophet and who is not, as Paul wrote at the time of many false prophets.

Hebrews 5:13-14

King James Version

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil

THe Holy Spirit revealing.... as our spiritual eyes.....is not a gift.
Its just His work inside the believer... one of them........as He also leads us, corrrects us, helps us in many ways.

The GIFT, is "The Gift of Salvation" that put Him in us, and us "in Christ".

So, the "Spiritual Gift of Discernment" is one of the 9 Spiritual gifts..
This is different.

who is spiritual and who is not, who is a prophet and who is not, as Paul wrote at the time of many false prophets.


On this forum, as far as i know...we dont have any who are pretending to be Prophets.

What we have on this one, are people who are in their carnal mind, in the flesh, and believe this is the Holy Spirit.
This is very common.

Listen..
being Spiritual , and having the Spirit of God, are not the same thing.. There are millions of people who are very spiritual, very religious..........but that is not the same as being of God, and having the Spirit of God.

Spiritual discernment is a gift and it will mature in Christ.

My discernment has matured to recognise that most of what you preach is “ fairy talk” man made fairy talk, nothing spiritual in most of your posts I’m afraid.,.taken me over a year to discern that..all in my opinion of course.

Your one big story teller who has convinced themselves to believe their own story, plus you are mostly on the defence.

I do not believe for one minute that you are in the Spirit of Christ @Behold ....I only see flesh talk.hatred for fellow believers and bitterness.in most of your posts...you bring shame to the name of the Lord and you can blame Calvin all you like, I can see straight through your smoke screen.

Its not a gift.....>>Its the Holy Spirit in the person, revealing ...and this can definitely increase.

There is also the Spiritual Gift of Discernment, that Paul teaches........and its given to some, but not to all.
