Wisdom is unattainable without God. The devils task in this life is to “blind the minds of unbelievers” -Without Christ we are blind fools. The world’s way of getting wisdom is different from God’s way. It is not bad to be knowledgeable or educated but spiritual discernment cannot be attained through worldly knowledge. Spiritual discernment ultimately has to do with wisdom and the ability to distinguish truth from error. How do we develop discernment? A. Ask for it & pray for God’s knowledge to be revealed. “‘Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise.” Proverbs 1:23 NLT B. Train & practice through learning biblical truths. We need meat not milk to develop. Discernment is revealed through Christ and “developed through training in righteousness & prayer” “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:14 We gain discernment by getting to know Jesus through his word then aligning our lives with his truth. How can we know truth from a lie if we don’t know the truth in the first place? Think counterfeit money, do you study all the fakes or become extremely knowledgeable with the real thing? “The heart of spiritual discernment is being able to distinguish the voice of the world from the voice of God” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefreedompodcast/support
