Drawing Near to God – Part 3 Discernment

In this lesson we’ll point to another method that helps us to Draw Nearer to God –  it’s called Discernment. When practiced—indeed causes us to draw near to God. We must never Assume, that we are discerning—a mistake that many good people make.  To avoid this Paul wrote, “Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil”  (1 Thess. 5:21-22). To what do we test the spirits against? Of course—against God’s Word : Remember Jesus “It is written” (Matt. 4:4, 6, 7, 10). We must understand that discernment does not come automatically upon conversion but it is an ability that comes through “time and exercise”—not time only—but “time and exercise”
