As we learn to move from the natural into the supernatural, the Bible instructs us to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God” (1 John 4:1, NIV). Discernment is critical as we grow in our spiritual walk, ensuring that the guidance we follow aligns with God’s Word.
The Bible is God’s law by which we must live. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105, NIV). If we analyze each rule, we will see how each was intended to lead us into the abundant life that Daddy God has provided for us. Jesus declared, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV).
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7, NIV). Fear is not from God, and as His children, we are called to walk in confidence, guided by His Spirit.
