Prophetic Series - Day 8

Image
By

I welcome you again in name of the Son of God who has eyes like a flame of fire to another edition of this Prophetic Series. We are still considering the Spiritual Gifts that are the major tools for the prophets to function effectively. Today, we are looking at
THE GIFT OF DISCERNING OF SPIRIT
           WHAT IT IS NOT
1. It is not a gift of suspicion or fault finding. You don't have to be a Christian to suspect or find fault in people. The degenerate nature of humanity carries a tangible ability to suspect people with it. This ability are in layers to be put off depending on our consecration to walk in the Spirit.
2. It is not a SIN DETECTIVE MACHINE. Many people think that all you have to see is the brother/sister that is fornicating; no. Though, this gift can unveil sin, but it is not primarily design to be a sin detector. God is more concerned about restoring the person to himself if he/she wants to  than exposing the wrong deeds and make the person more vulnerable to the Devil.

3. It is not a mind reading gift. Many mind readers use demonic powers to do it. As far as as this planet is concerned, God has made it possible for everyone to be capable of individualised thoughts. But in Heaven, there is nothing like that. Individual thoughts are known to all. That was why Lucifer's thought became obvious. Is. 14:12. Jesus in bringing the Heavenly atmosphere down here replied people's thought answered people's thought. Mt. 9:4, 12:25, Luke 9:47
   
      WHAT IT IS
To discern means 'TO SEE THROUGH SOMETHING'.
The gift of Discerning of Spirits is the ability given by the Spirit to see and/or to hear into the REALM OF SPIRITS.
Unlike the two other Revelational Gift that can reveal anything about anything, this gift is limited to SPIRITS. In other word, this gift is useless when no spirit is involved in a matter.
If you ask me what Spiritual Gift is the Watchdog out of the Nine Gifts, IT IS THE GIFT OF DISCERNING OF SPIRITS. Why did you say this?
You see the Demonic realm can pirate all the other Eight Gifts of the Spirit. A person with a familiar spirit can mimic the  other Revelational Gifts, there are utterance (tongues and words) from the Demonic Realm and the Devil can mimic the voice of God. The Devil has transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14. Most of us were first familiar with the Devil's voice before God's voice. As a matter of fact, there are still billions of Christian that can't recognize God's voice up till now. But, I prophesy to everyone reading this post, 'as from today, you will no longer be in doubt concerning how God speaks in Jesus' name'. You will be able to clearly differentiate between God's voice and the Devil's voice in Jesus' name.
The Gift of Discerning of Spirit discern/sees the spirit behind a supernatural occurrence (action or vocal).
The Realm of the spirits consist of the following category of spirits:
A. The God Head and other beings in Heaven
B. The Human spirit.
C. The Devil and his cohorts.

The Gift of Discerning of spirits can see and/or hear the actions/words of any of these spirits.
We have talked about Prophets and Seers before; a prophet prophesies by the bubbling of words from his/her spirit while a Seer prophesies by what he/she sees. This gift functions more frequently with Seers.
The Joel Two Company of Prophets are those that will speak based on what they see.
A Prophet is a Spiritual Watchman upon towers of varying heights in the Realm of the Spirit depending on the measure he/she operates in.  Every citizen can see the same way every normal Christian can see but A PROPHETIC SEER SEES FARTHER BECAUSE HE/SHE HAS BEEN POSITIONED UPON THE TOWER SPIRITUALLY.
He/she is there to sound the alarm of approaching danger or prosperity.
The ability to see is one of the greatest benefits of Redemption.

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES
All Prophets that were called Seers in the Old Testament operated in this gift.
Everyone that saw into the spirit realm were enabled to do so by THE GIFT OF DISCERNING OF SPIRITS. When Micaiah the prophet saw the decision of the Heavenly Council, it was by Discerning of Spirits. 2Chro.18
         HOW DOES IT MANIFEST?
It manifest majorly through DREAMS AND VISIONS. Most times, your spiritual ears can also be activated to hear discuss of spirits. You can either SEE AND HEAR or HEAR ALONE.

INTER-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS GIFT AND OTHERS

A. When dreams and visions reveal the past and/or the future, the other two Revelational Gifts are involved.

B. In conducting Deliverance or ministering to the sick, this gift walks with other gifts like the Gift of Faith and Gifts of Healings to get the job done. This gift enables you to see the demon/situation and you cast it out either by the faith of ROM. 10:17 or by the Gift of Faith.
Moses saw Genesis by this gift plus the Gift of a Word of Knowledge.

In this days where false teachers and prophets are on the increase on our Pulpits, we need many people sitting on the pews to functions in this gift. There is a strong spirit of delusion hovering over Nigeria causing PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THINGS THAT ARE WRONG AND NOT EVEN CONVENIENT. This spirit is not just at work in the Church but also in various parts of our economy especially POLITICS.
1Cor  2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Let me stop here for today.
          ACTIVATION
Pray Eph. 1:17-20 (PREFERABLY FROM THE AMPLIFIED VERSION) for at least the next 15 days as many times as you can in a day. I tell you, THE EYES OF YOUR HEART WILL BE FLOODED WITH LIGHT.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
