Discernment

I write this knowing some people will take this as me judging... but I am not trying to judge, I am just trying to say what is on my heart. I think sometimes, in the Church, we only want to hear the "nice" things and whenever someone says something that offends us, we immediately mark is off as judgment. In my opinion, if you look throughout the Bible God constantly offended people by calling them out on their religous idiocy so to speak. I don't know about you, but I want God to offend me, I love when He offends me, because it shows me where I have gone wrong and where He can come and shed light. My pursuit in this life is to be just like Him, and if He must come and offend me to make me more and more like Him, then heck everything inside of me is all for Him offending.

So, now to my point....
Lately, I have been so riveted and sombered by the lack of discernment in the Body of Christ. It seems, so many people just go with the motions, without every really stopping and looking at what exactly is happening.
We get so caught up in what we think revival is going to look like, and then whenever what we think it's going to look like happens, we quickly jump on a band wagon, most of us with very good intentions. But, have you ever just stopped and said, "Jesus, I want you to define Revival!" I think so often we end up boxing God in without knowing it because in our minds we paint this picture of what it looks like. We say people out in the Holy Ghost is Revival, and yes, I am very much sure that is part of it. But, why can't revival also be apart of the quiet and peaceful moments when God literally just comes and shakes up our ideologies? Or, why can't it be when we are in the supermarket and we see a need and begin to pray for someone? Why can't that be Revival?

I think so often when we see someone who is prophetic, or healing, or doing signs and wonders, we run to them without any discretion, forgetting that the Bible says that those who know nothing about Jesus are going to be able to do the very same things. Now, we all know that these very things are the things we are to walk in, and rightly so. We are called to bring the Kingdom of Heaven down to earth, through the signs, the wonders and the miracles. But, we must be ever careful of the band wagons we jump on without asking God if it is even Him.

Guys, there are two worlds....a light one and the dark one, and they are both very supernatural. Especially, in the days we are living we must be able to discern the difference and press into the light. And through Jesus and Jesus alone see those signs, wonders, and miracles!

Anywayz, I hope I expressed myself well, and you understand. If not, I am sorry, I certainly tried.

Peace.Love.Joy.
