Spiritual Gifts Part 319:

Discernment is performed by the Holy Spirit

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?

How do I get spiritual discernment?

The filling of the Spirit and doctrine in the soul are critical to exercising correct discernment.

God does not keep His will a secret.
He has revealed it!

Yet people are always asking,
“What is God’s will for my life?”

All discernment is performed by the Holy Spirit, using the tools of Bible doctrine already tested and found in the soul, under the exercise of one’s priesthood.

HEB 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

“solid food” means advanced doctrine.
 
“mature” means the spiritually mature believer.

Practice = hexis
a repeated activity - 'practice, doing again and again, doing repeatedly.'

practice” refers to persistently perceiving, metabolizing and especially applying bible doctrine.

“Senses” =
the capacities for spiritual apprehension.

“trained” = Greek
gumnazo
 
We get our English word gymnasium from this Greek word.
 

gumnazo means “to exercise naked”.

In the spiritual realm, it refers to consistently exercising the our spiritual organs naked before God.

Our spiritual organs include our soul and our human spirit.

There is nothing about our soul that is hidden before God. He can see all the faults and false moves we still have in there.
