Subject: Do I have it? |
Bible Note: Of course, the situation you are describing here is not the same situation that the original questioner brought up. As someone whom God has blessed with the gift of discernment, I would not say that I am always getting impressions/feelings from the Holy Spirit as to every move that I need to make. Rather, God utilizes me in the context of His church as a sound doctrine detector (I prefer that term to "heresy hunter" since what the Christian seeks to do is keep the body of Christ focused on what is pure). I would even go so far as to argue that trusting feelings and impressions solely and attributing all of them to the Holy Spirit's leading can often get us into some serious trouble, especially when he has clearly revealed all the will we need to know in the Bible. --Joe! |
