In this episode , we will talk about Truth & Discernment when you kneel down in front of the Lord’s chair( if you have one at home or at in your office) do you feel or see that GOD sits there and listen what you say? Do you see the truth that GOD is using you to be his disciple? What comes to your mind when you here the word Truth? We Christians don’t base truth merely on Facts. We must consider the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit. He lives in Jesus. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light. (Jn.14:6)
Discernment knows the different between light and darkness, truth and deception, good and evil. Discernment means we check everything out with the Holy Spirit who is active with us. We need to learn about the truth because we are constantly dealing with untruth and deception. Jesus called Satan a liar (Jn. 8:44). We need to discernment in this age where truth and untruth can easily get mixed up and could hardly be recognized. When the catholic charismatic renewal bean. This shed more light in the concept of evil and deception. All of a sudden we became more aware of things around us and within us. It’s like He, the spirit of truth didn’t exist before. Then all of a sudden, with the coming of the Holy Spirit and His mighty light, we started to see deception. Deception is everywhere. This is where and when our true intuitive gift of discernment comes in from the spirit of truth himself. Sometimes the way He lets us know is almost by instinct. We call it an “anointing”. The spirit maybe activated in you letting you know that “something just isn’t right”. The Holy Spirit is teaching us to be obedient, to listen to that voice within us. That “warning” may not b alerting us of the evil per se, but it might b the Father desiring to show us a weak spot within us that needs to be looked at in order to make us whole. Therefore, it is very important to become sensitive to the movement of the sprit within you, in your heart. Discernment takes place more in the heart than the mind. The mind takes in facts. We need facts for good discernment. The spirit of truth and light is the discerner. Feel free to ask! The lord leads the options open. God always lets us choose using the gift of Free Will. The fruit that comes forth from that decision is always the sign whether or not the decision made was right. Good discernment always bears good fruits.
For those of us who walks with the lord, day after day, we hear his vice, harden not your harts. We are children of the light. God does not want us to be in the dark, so until we have the light in every situation, we don’t move. We don’t guess. We don’t assume. W must wait until w find out what God wants. The on who gives confirmation on how we should proceed is the confirmer, the Holy Spirit. We need the strength and the light of the Holy Spirit in order to see the light. Don’t live in darkness. Have the light. Live in the light.
I would like to end this episode with a beautiful song… |
it is better to light
just n little candle
than to stumble in the dark
better far that you light
just one little candle
all you need is a tiny spark
if we’d all say a prayer that the world would be true
a wonderful dawn of a new day is due
and if everyone lit
just on little candle
what a bright world
for me and you |
