God first
Discerning of Spirits do we really know what is?

Beloved friends
God loves us all my dear friends
Discerning of Spirits do we really know what is?
Lets take it slow
Here the Greek word for discerning and the three places these Greek word is used in the bible.
Discerning - G1253. diakrisis, dee-ak'-ree-sis; from G1252; judicial estimation:--discern (-ing), disputation
Rom 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful (disputations.)
1 Cor 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another (discerning) of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to (discern) both good and evil.
Spirits - G4151. pneuma, pnyoo'-mah; from G4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by anal. or fig. a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by impl.) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Comp. G5590
We here see that the Greek word for spirits is talking about a image either of fleshly which some call the devil image or the image of Christ which is the image of God.
But how do we used this gift with the love of God and no miss used the gift my thinking there are evil images were there are not.
Now there is another word used as discerning but its not the same word as we are looking at
1 Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not (discerning) the Lord's body.
Its Greek meaning
G1252. diakrino, dee-ak-ree'-no; from G1223 and G2919; to separate thoroughly, i.e. (lit. and reflex.) to withdraw from, or (by impl.) oppose; fig. to discriminate (by impl. decide), or (reflex.) hesitate:--contend, make (to) differ (-ence), discern, doubt, judge, be partial, stagger, waver.
Thank God this word was not used as the word discerning in 1 Cor 12:10 for (discerning of spirits)
It might of gave us a right to point fingers by discriminate one another because we got a bad feeling of a person and say there had a bad spirit but that not what discerning of spirits is about.
Lets look at the three verses we see it used again with some context.
Rom 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful (disputations.)
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Its talking about seeing others believers weaknesses without despising the weak believer or judging the believer as evil.
1 Cor 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another (discerning) of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
Here we all know the context ia a gift of the holy spirit to help our walk while it comforts us in the love of God.
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to (discern) both good and evil.
6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Its talking about teaching one another how to changed from evil to good helping our friends not to do dead works.
Other wise its seeing others believers needs of images and receiving a image how we can help them while only seeing the love of God in them as you teach without pointing fingers like the Way ministry did to us or some churches do.
So I boldly say its nothing about seeing devil spirit every time some one does not agree with us or see eye to eye with what we believe.
Thank you
with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy
