Discernment: The gift that keeps on giving


She realizes she had discernment when people from her past would tell her  how something she had given them advice about turned out to be true. When people would say to her I should have listened to you because you were right. It was then that she realized what she had something very special and she had to be careful  because  if not handled correctly and dealt with in the correct mindset it would lead to the frustration of trying to convince people of something that only God wanted her to know.

 She was learning when her discernment showed her something it wasn't always for her the share. When you try to convince people of things that they are not yet ready to receive you will be viewed as being bitter, judgmental, critical, and mean. although the information your speaking may be true if a person is not in the mindset to receive it they may attack you with hurtful words.  Initially she was offended but later she decided to use it as a teachable moment and figure out why they felt this way about her. She knew deep in her spirit she wasn't any of those things. She definitely wasn't being judgmental because much of the advice she had given out to people was about things that she had experienced herself and it proved not to be fruitful or beneficial to her. She was merely trying to help them out so that they wouldn't have to go through what she went through. She couldn't understand how that was coming across as judgmental until it was revealed to her the information that she was revealing was only supposed to be for her. This was information God had download to her for her own personal healing it wasn't necessarily  meant to share with others. This is where she made her mistake they became offended because she was delivering the message prematurely. The offense set in because they were not at a place spiritually where they were ready to receive what she was saying. She finally came to the realization that everything was not meant to be repeated everything that she knew other people may not have been ready to receive it. Once she started to own that important piece of knowledge she began to monitor what she said to people and how she said it and suddenly she wasn't so amped up to tell people about themselves and what she knew about them. She got quiet and allowed silence and prayer to speak on her behalf.




 The beauty in the gift....



When you're gifted with the spirit of discernment sometimes more often than none God will show you things about people not for you to run and tell everybody but he shows you these things about certain people so you can deal with the person. How others view them or see them is none of your business. God shows you certain characteristics about people that it may take others years to see. This doesn't mean that you must convince the world of their character flaws. it’s information that God has downloaded to your spirit so that you can deal with the person in the manner that you need to. Discernment is not a tool given to place judgement on others it’s a gift from God that if used properly will allow you to live a life free from malice because your gift has showed you everything you need to know. I encourage you to pray for discernment and the wisdom to deal with it properly and I promise you won't be disappointed by the results.
