Hey, just wondering, do we "feel" things spiritually? Is that the same thing as 'discernment'? How easy or how hard is it for the overcomer to differentiate between something we think mentally or soemthing we "feel" spiritually? I hope at least one person can understand what I've been so awkwardly trying to ask:)

--- End quote ---

When the woman who had the issue of blood touched Jesus, He said, "Who touched me" because He felt the spiritual power to heal leave Him.

As Jesus is, so are we.  When He was a physical human, He felt the Spirit go through Him.  So can we.

The Spirit is like water, like the wind, like fire.  It ebbs and flows, and is more powerful at one time than another.  If the Spirit is just at one level of intensity, with no fluctuation, then Jesus would not have been able to sense the Power go through Him.

Joel:
When we are confronted on a daily basis to choose either good or evil, and we choose good more and more, our ability to make the right decision is more finely honed, and that is a gift of God.(discernment being exercised)
And than there is discernment that God may give about a certain thing, and there will be no wiggle room as to it being from him, no doubt, and no feeling involved. The proof is in the pudding. :)

Joel

Deborah-Leigh:


Is there a difference between night and day, or the mind and the heart, or soul and spirit, knowing or believing...Yes..you bet there is!

Could discernment be the same as test the spirits...maybe...~
