––– Message Notes –––

Discernment is spiritual insight and wisdom.

“Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” - Charles Spurgeon

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 ESV
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Hebrews 5:14 ESV
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 NLT
21 But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay away from every kind of evil.

Jeremiah 17:9 ESV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?

Discernment helps you master your mouth.

Proverbs 18:21 ESV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

“Speak when you’re angry and you will make the best speech you’ll ever regret.” – Ambrose Bierce

James 1:26 NIV
Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.

The Discernment Filter:
✅ Is it TRUE?
✅ Is it KIND?
✅ Is it NECESSARY?

Ecclesiastes 3:7b ESV
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

Discernment helps you choose wisdom over impulse.

Nehemiah 6:3 NKJV
“I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

John 5:19 NKJV
Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

Exodus 14:14 NIV
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Discernment gives you the power of restraint.

Proverbs 17:28a NLT
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent.

Proverbs 16:32 TLB
It is better to be slow-tempered than famous; it is better to have self-control than to control an army.

Ask for it.

James 1:5-6 NKJV
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

Study God’s Word.

Psalm 119:105 KJV
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Be led by the Holy Spirit.

John 16:13a TLB
When the Holy Spirit, who is truth, comes, he shall guide you into all truth…

1 Corinthians 2:14-15a TLB
14 But the man who isn’t a Christian can’t understand and can’t accept these thoughts from God, which the Holy Spirit teaches us. They sound foolish to him because only those who have the Holy Spirit within them can understand what the Holy Spirit means. Others just can’t take it in. 15 But the spiritual man has insight into everything...

Practice it daily.

Hebrews 5:14 ESV
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Lord, give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that understands Your will. Lead me in wisdom, guide my decisions, and protect me from deception. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
