The Doctrine of Spiritual Gifts

Point 3: What is a “Spiritual Gift”?

What is discernment?

Discernment is being able to determine what is coming from the thinking of Christ and what is coming from doctrines of demons, 1TI 4:1.

The all-important fruit of satan’s pride is the fact that “he does not stand or abide in the truth”.

The counterfeit can never quite pull it off 100%.

And at the end of the day, one thing that just cannot be counterfeited is sacrificial love.

This is the kind of love that gives and serves and covers, laying one’s life down for others, with a willingness to suffer in order that the other may have new life.

He is a liar trying to counterfeit truth!

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

You can fool all of the people some of the time.

But you just can’t fool God -
or the people who keep listening to God!

And one thing about evil doers is this:
they nearly always try to HIDE the innermost thoughts of their heart!

The essence of a person is what he thinks, but we are not privy to a person’s thoughts unless he reveals them to us.

When a person is energized by evil and lies, there is a powerful force at work to conceal and hide the real wicked motivation at work.
