The need for Discernment

1 John 4:2

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

2 Corinthians 2:11

The Bible advises us to TEST EVERY SPIRIT. In this day, evil men have waxed stronger and the true Christians need to upgrade spiritually and be wise in every situation to identify these ‘always’,  for what they are
The devil is on a rampage to deceive the very elect on the highway to hell!

Men walk now in much deception and wickedness, cold and disregarding in their ways and actions, seeing through satan’s façade, through the acts of man and institutionalized abominations, knowing the truth of physical manifestations, seeing beyond the physical is crucial in our time as the heart of man is desperately evil and willing to perpetrate gross wickedness in the lives of others.

How can we remain in such a realm and be holy:

*Become blind to the seemingly apparent, focus on /deal with the manipulative spirit behind every action

*Learn to forgive always … the devil’s agents can only manipulate a sin-FUL vessel

*Remove the veil in the heart

*Remain unprovokeable/ controlling emotions (difficult but possible with practice)

*Identify personal weakness to be able to identify other people’s weaknesses

*Carnality sees only in a mirror darkly meaning; live a crucified life… permanently

* Kill the Flesh… no more ‘white lies’ (satan’s deception of the century)/ church hypocrisy et al…

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. -Colossians 3:5

Galatians 2:20

Ephesians 4: 22-24

Romans 12: 1-2

Luke 9:23
