EXPERIENCING THE LORD AS DISCERNMENT

August 26, 2024

I talked with the Lord today about His being Discernment. I shared that I know each thing I experience, when walking with Him, is not something separate from Him, but it is actually His supernatural presence and guidance wanting me to know Him more and more intimately. 

I talked with Him about experiencing Him as Discernment. I shared that when He comes to me as Discernment I am able to clearly understand the differences between several things; the presence of my flesh and its desires, the presence of the flesh and desires of others, as well as the negative supernatural presence of Satan himself wanting us both, even as husband and wife, to follow our flesh and its desires for choices that we make.

I shared how, when His supernatural presence and guidance leads me, I am able to see Satan wanting to pull together the presence of my flesh and its desires with the flesh and the presence and desires of my wife. I also shared how His supernatural presence of Discernment comes to protect both of us from following our flesh and its desires.

I went on to think about how when as a husband experiencing Him as Discernment was laid aside several times when I wanted to go in a certain direction and my wife did not. I went on to remember how my insisting on my choice led to unnecessary pain and hardship for our entire family. I thanked Him for his incredible forgiveness as my eyes filled with tears, a forgiveness which is ever fresh, once again.

In thinking about this I recalled how so many times since when I wanted to go in a specific direction and my wife did not. But now, this time, along with my wife, we saw the differences as His supernatural presence and guidance of Discernment guiding us to come to an entirely different goal which would prove to be successful.

I told the Lord, again today, that I am so very, very grateful that He comes to us as Discernment again and again in order to protect us. How amazing that the God and Creator of the universe, along with His Son Jesus, and the supernatural presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit express Their love in this wonderful way.

Thank you for sharing in my walk today.
