Thanks for your kind reply.
Folks—even Pentecostal folks—are NOT PREPARED
for the VASTLY DRAMATIC move of Holy Spirit ahead in these END TIMES.
Certainly the enemy’s counterfeiter will be busy as well.
Discernment IS essential.
However, folks must be cautious about throwing out the baby with the bath.
Baby’s father would NOT be amused.
Indeed, that is true -- greater discernment goes with greater spiritual maturity -- not as a result of intellectual development:
1Co 2:14-16 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. We can and ought to develop the mind of The Christ:
Php 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
This involves death to self, to Sin as a a master, and to the world; to humbleness to humans and meekness toward The God, fearing Him and walking obediently in His Ways.
This is discernment, is it not?
... But we have the mind of Christ.
