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?

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 [advanced doctrine] is for the [spiritually] mature, who because of practice [learning and obeying God’s word again and again]…

HEB 5:14
…have their senses trained [have vigorously exercised their souls and human spirits by applying God’s word under the guidance of the Holy Spirit] …

HEB 5:14
…to discern good and evil [resulting in discernment both of the genuine and the counterfeit].

The world will use arguments that sound persuasive in order to try to wrestle your soul away from the simplicity of devotion to Christ.

We are to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Discernment is not for its own sake. It is a tool provided by God to help you make your way through the maze of good and evil back to LIFE!

PSA 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

JOH 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me”.

It is amazing how many believers cannot distinguish between that which is the plan of God and that which is total nonsense!

When you have doctrine in your soul that has been tested, you can discern evil trends in Christianity.

Ecumenism disguised as unity in the Body.

Morality disguised as spirituality.

Earthly dominion disguised as the heavenly kingdom.

The social gospel replacing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
