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!  :)

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

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...
