Bible Note: Hi Fred, What Doc said is very true. Once you are aware of what Scripture says, it's not so difficult. But I thought I might could help add a little down-to-earth counsel - at least, this helps me sometimes: Your own mind: if I find myself rationalizing that it's not completely off the Word of God, kind of on the Word - more prayer time and searching of the Scripture is needed. The devil: when it's just slightly off the Word, if I've been in prayer and searching the Word but I can't see Jesus or Paul or any of the apostles doing it, it might be best to let the idea go. (My own spirit won't be comfortable with the go-ahead.) God: It's right on the Word, I can easily see Jesus or any Spirit-filled person doing the thing in question. (And the Spirit witnesses with my own spirit that it's a godly thing to do.) If I really can't figure it out, I'll ask another believer or a Pastor to pray with me about the thing - that's what the brothers and sisters in the Lord are all about. Upholding and encouraging and exhorting the brethren. Hope this helps cheri |
