Show Notes:

We are faced with a flood of lies, even coming across the pulpit.  In order to not be deceived, we must guard against receiving from the wrong people. Making it a habitual practice to vigorously exercise our discernment will develop our senses and help us grow in our ability to differentiate between what is true and false. 

 

Without a relationship with the Word of God, we are set up for deception.  Building a belief system around the authority of the Word of God will develop our skills of perception. The Word of God must be what we filter all we see and hear through so that we can become a good reader of people, able to discern the genuineness of others.    

 

When we begin to apply the Word of God through our perceptions, we will be able to recognize when a voice is in contradiction to the Shepherd’s voice.  Immersing our mind in the Word of God will help guard against doctrines of devils and spirits of error.  It is not being critical, but rather wise to be a discerner of good and evil.
