The Source of Discernment

1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Spiritual discernment is a supernatural ability, which requires supernatural power. In our human strength, we can rely only on what we see, hear, feel, and know in order to make decisions and evaluate circumstances and relationships.

But when the Holy Spirit comes to live within us, He opens up an entirely new dimension of understanding. He shows us things we could never figure out by ourselves.

Weapons of Spiritual Warfare

Truth – Ephesians 6:14
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Readiness – Ephesians 6:15
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Faith – Ephesians 6:16
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Salvation – Ephesians 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Ways to Repentance

Hearing God’s Word – 1 Kings 21:27
So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning.

Despising Self – Job 42:6
Therefore I abhor myself,
 And repent in dust and ashes.”

God’s Word

For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.

— Proverbs 8:35-36
