Bible Verse of The Day – 6-3-20

1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Spiritual activity in the atmosphere has increased markedly over the last several years. It is more alive than ever.

We no longer live in a world where common sense and carnal understanding can sustain us.

Yes, we can get by living that way. But it will be increasingly difficult to do so as the things of the spirit continue to increase in intensity.

It’s critical that we, as believers, learn to perceive and discern the things of the spirit accurately.

This isn’t something to be taken lightly. Nor is it something that is optional if we wish to be used by God, or to understand the things of God. Sharp discernment is a necessity.

So, how do we do this? How do we get understanding that gives us this discernment?

We learn to listen to the Spirit of God and let Him lead us in everything that we do.

Daily life can seem ho hum, benign and habitual to most of us, especially if we simply live in the natural.

But God wants us to live beyond the natural, above what we see and feel. He desires for us to let Him develop our spirit in a way that allows it to commune with His spirit.

That is the key to having a deeper understanding and a sharper ability to discern the things of the spirit.

And here’s how we develop that muscle in each and every one of us; we spend time in His word. We spend time conversing with Him. We learn of Him, and we draw near to Him.

Over time, as we do this, with the goal of growing our relationship with Him, our spiritual understanding and our discernment will also improve.
