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!  :)

Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...

"Beautiful Scars" I met a woman today while running errands with my daughters and she was staring at the scars on my face. She said, "Excuse me, please forgive me for staring at your face but if you don't mind me saying this, I must say even with all your scars, you are a beautiful woman. I mean really beautiful. God really preserved your facial features; I mean your eyes, your nose, and those lips--you truly have an amazing smile." I couldn't help but share my story after  she asked how I sustained the burns which have become my beauty marks. She was in awe of God and agreed if it had not been for Him, I would never have made it out alive. She encouraged me to continue to share my testimony because now more than ever people need to know that God is real, is still a miracle worker, and He still saves. I shared with this angel that I promised the Lord years ago that I will no longer be ashamed of my scars or sharing my testimony; therefore, whenever any...

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...
