Bible Question:
In the last 5 months it seems like I just always know what God wants me to do. Do I stay at my job or find another one? Do I get out of a relationship or not? These are really big decisions that didn't take me anytime to make because it was like God burned it in my heart before I even asked. Of course I prayed for confirmation to make sure it was Him and not satan trying to trick me and it was always confirmed. Is this discernment? I don't mean to ask stupid questions, but I'm really new at this. |
Bible Answer: Kasadya, Nolan is right you could have the gift. But, like the gift of giving, others need to have a small portion. The gift of discernment covers more than you. It is knowing what others should do or have done. i saw this young lady after summer break, I saw a change in her. I asked and she gave me some glib answer. I shook my head and she started to cry and asked how I knew. I didn't know the specifics - but I discerned something. As far as knowing His will. -First, check if it violates the Bible. -If it does not, pray, asking God for His input. I say even for small stuff, like Israel didn't do before going to Ai. -The ask spiritual people to pray and give you a response. Even if you have the gift of discernment, which you should use ... you need to ask others. Steve BTW it is not a stupid question, unless you don't ask. |
