Discernment IT IS!

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces, Matthew 7:6. (NLT)
Diamonds, we can't share everything with everyone especially when they are not born again and you are experiencing a spiritual matter in search of Godly counsel.  They will always see things from a worldly perspective and they cannot understand that which is spiritual because they lack the presence of the Holy Spirit who opens up our understanding and moves us into all truth.  We have now the Spirit who is from God and not of the world.  We also speak not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  Remember:  the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to them; nor can they know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  (Please read 1 Corinthians 2:6-16)

If you find yourself tempted to defend your position, they will turn on you by being hostile and then they will begin to attack you spiritually.

Here is a BIG NO, NO:  If God has spoken to you about a specific matter then its settled.  Don't feel the need or fall into the trap of getting too comfortable with sharing the situation because they wouldn't understand even when they feel their position is valid.  

Just find something else to talk about like the weather....it is truly a nice day today!  :)

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...

Standing Appointments With God

Diamonds,  we may set aside a day or time to take a break from life's daily activities, but we can not take a break from meeting with God in our daily prayer and meditation times in the Word. If you desire for your steps to be ordered by God, how? If you decided to miss your daily appointment with Him? I promise you, if you keep God first and make Him a priority, or treating His relationship with you as valuable and important than anything else going on our itenerary--watch the many different ways God will move on your behalf. Watch the added grace He deposits in carrying out that long laundry list of tasks. He is so faithful, that those very tasks we worry about completing at the expense of missing our appointment with Him, He grants more grace in time in order to get them accomplished only because WE DIDN'T TAKE A DAY OFF FROM MEETING UP WITH HIM! Again, there are alot of things we can afford to put off,  take time away from but the most beneficial we must cherish and kee...

Looking the Part can be so far off!!

Diamonds, many people are looking the part, but they are falling apart and their hearts are far off . The truth can also be said of ourselves if we are not honest with who we are and how we are living apart from how we look on the outside but God sees the heart. God has a way of distinguishing the real from the fake. Try the spirit by the Spirit the Bible says.(1 John 4:1-5) The Bible also says that you may those who are His by their fruit. (Matthew 7:15-23) We can't get oranges from an apple tree or lemons from a grape vine. It is the same way with those that may look the part but they have no love for their neighbors. They don't trust in the Word of God. In fact, they live contrary to the Word. And for anyone that does not confess Jesus as Lord, they do not, will not, cannot without the presence of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3) The Holy Spirit seals every believer, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possess...
