The Doctrine of Spiritual Gifts

Point 4.
Developing the capacity you need to function effectively in your spiritual gift.

What is discernment?

Why do we need to have discernment?

1. One reason is because there are those two kinds of wisdom in James 3.

2. The Bible warns us over and over again to be vigilant, because there will be MANY false teachers in our midst.

3. The Bible tells us that, in the last days, the believer will be bombarded with an incredible amount of evil, through various media.

4. In the middle of a firefight, if you don’t know how to distinguish friend from foe, you will get hurt!
 

5. Satan’s game is deception. It has been his game from the very beginning, and it will stay that way until he is destroyed, JOH 8:44.

ISA 14:14
'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.'

In our human nature, we are overmatched in trying to decipher what is from God and what is from the kingdom of darkness.

Like any smart criminal, satan and the kingdom of darkness are going to counterfeit things of big value and great significance in the outcome of the contest.

Satan has counterfeit...  

Is this what they teach about Christ?

COL 1:13-20; COL 2:1-11.
