Hey there, today we'd discuss something very interesting, yet has been concealed from the public. When it comes to Christianity most Christians are religious believers, they only identify as a Christian without really putting in the work which is serving God in Truth & Spirit. The bible says that God is spirit and who worship him must worship him in truth and spirit.?
With that been said, I'd be telling you the 3 essential stages of spiritual discernment, but first what does it mean to have discernment? Discernment is a heightened spiritual connection between mortals and spirit. As above, so below, As within, so without. In other-words, Discernment is your inner guide or your inner voice in your head, we can all agree with ourselves that we can actually talk without opening our mouth, we can read without speaking out etc. Now what is the mechanism behind this process? The bible says that God created man in his own image and likeness, meaning God is within us and works within us. But how do we know the voice of God and that of the devil? I'd be telling you that in a few moment.
Based on my study, I've been able to discover 3 essential stages of discernment
1. Differentiating Our Conscious Self From Our Reactive Self (The First Stage) - This is pretty much psychology 101 on the metaphysical path, and it's all about self work. In this stage, you'd start to recognise being fully conscious of what you're doing, thinking, & feeling. Which is basically (free will) if you ask me. Alternatively, the next phase of this stage is being triggered into a reactive state of mind. Let me dissolve this explanation into a lay man's understanding so that we can all connect to one mind. Now, we all have active minds and our minds has a reticular activating system that pushes the self remembering button in our brain. When we self observe, we begin to reflect on certain areas of our lives that we need to take accountability for. My drive for elf discovery, vitality and independence made me step out from my shell where I hid myself for so long because I was scared of people not listening to my messages if I put them out. I gave myself a thousand reasons why I shouldn't be a spiritual teacher, I created a self illusion and when I finally encountered Christ, I understood the benefit of listening to your intuition frequently, and because I study a lot, I began seeking wisdom not just to be wise, but to be a wise leader. The Ancient beings that lived on earth understood this, they knew that there are superior forces that govern humanity, These ancient mythologies & cultures existed before the civilization of mankind. I've been able to come to a conclusion, realisation and awareness that the early beings, our forefathers understood spirituality on a deeper scale over 5000 years ago. This discovery brought clarity to the modern-day man today and it's known as "Basic Self-Help Psychology".
Now pay attention to this, When you get into argument or fight with your significant other? You know you can go into your reactive mind state by hitting them, smashing glasses & screaming or you can choose to be fully conscious of yourself, hold your emotions and walk away to protect your peace of mind. Like I said, it's all about freewill.
2. Differentiating Our Self Generated Conscious (Thinking, Feeling & Willing) From Impulses Coming From External Spiritual Beings - This is the second stage of growth as a spiritual being. In the first stage where I elaborated on being conscious of yourself, In this second stage, every believer must have realised that we are living in a matrix and that the world is being controlled by supernatural forces of light and dark everyday. In Christian mythology, God is a spirit, so are his angels too. Everyday there's warfare going on between the angelic beings and the demons beings, everyday we're being tested or tempted, everyday souls leave the world and souls are born into this world. It's a constant mechanism of death and rebirth. In other-words, discerning in the spirit is important for everyone of us including you and I, to be able to live an abundant life here on earth. Not just living healthy, but fulfilling destiny before we leave earth. The truth is that, God speaks to us everyday but are you truly paying attention? The devil does everything he could to stop you from evolving spiritually to be able to connect with the most high, so he tries to tempt you to sin & putting obstacles your way, Will you let him? Who are you truly paying attention to? God or Satan?

Let me give you a typical illustration of these two voices. Have you ever being in a situation where you aren't sure if you would chase after a certain goal, job or career in life? Maybe you want to apply and you aren't sure if your certificate would match the requirements.. now this is how God speaks to you, there's a little voice in your head that says Do it, apply and have faith you'd get the job. Now at that point, the devil contradicts and says, How sure are you? Don't be fooled, you can't get that job. They will reject you, you're not good enough. The devil stops at nothing to make sure you don't go towards your happiness, he doesn't want to see you happy. God loves you, he loves when his children takes a leap of faith, he loves when you pray to him and commit the job to his hands. But the devil doesn't.?
3. The third stage is all about having an clairvoyant or clairaudience spiritual gift - In this third stage of discernment, one must have gone through series of test and clarity that the world is controlled by the unseen forces, at this point we must have acquired the gift of seeing or hearing audibly from God in other to move forward in life. This is where you begin to realise and work for God using your gift as a means to help humanity and the collectives at large. Every believer has a role to play in the kingdom of God, you just need to identify which role is best fit for you. I must be honest with you, we all need heightened discernment to live in today's world, the world is dark and evil. wickedness of man seems to increase as the day go by. Hence there's a need to get saved and pick a side. The question is, whose team are you identifying with? The Light or Dark? I'd let you figure it out my dearest listener.
If you made it to the end of this article, Thank you so much for reading. I hope and wish you have a wonderful day with so much blessings! Amen

1 年I would discern from a few of your points. The Bible says 'no one comes to the FATHER except through the SON. This the way it is for almost everyone. Except when the FATHER COMES TO YOU . Called CONTEMPLATIVE FUSION WITH THE FATHER, and described in John 14 ; 23 - 29. A primary example of this VERY RARE EVENT is what happened to Zaul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus. Among Contemplative Monks this is rather irreverent called a " GOD SIGHTING". Note how it changed the man Saul into the Saint Paul.
