Discernment Within The Body
There needs to be more discernment within the Body of Christ!
The LORD placed this so strongly on me this morning to share. Do not be swayed by every doctrine. Discernment is such an important key!
“A word spoken in due season…..”
I want you to let that sink in for a moment.
At times, Prophetic Words might be true but given out of season or out of time. Sometimes, the Word prophesied is not meant to be released until a later date.
I’ve seen a number of people misguided by ill-timed prophetic words. Words given out of season can very likely cause them to walk into something they are unprepared for due to a lack of experience and wisdom.
At times, God would have you pray it rather than say it. Words shouldn’t be spoken based on your time but on the Master’s time.
Please make sure you are on God’s kairos (His time) and not your chronos (your chronological time) when releasing His Word.
Isaiah 50:4 tells us,
“The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I may know how to sustain him who is weary with a word; He awakens me morning by morning; He awakens my ear to listen as the learned.”
When allowing people to minister to you, be very careful about what you permit them to speak into your spirit and your life.
I have learned to not allow demonically disguised words to enter into my ear gates, whether or not the speaker realizes what he or she is saying. Not everyone needs to lay hands on you!
Discern Your Enemy!
The enemy has a distinct sound, which you have to be able to discern as the person speaks.
In Acts 16, the woman with the spirit of divination (python) said all the right things but with the wrong spirit or motivation. Paul identified the motivation behind the words and rebuked it. The woman then lost her “gift” and her master’s gain.
Do not receive everything whispered in your ear or spoken through your cellphone or released on social media in this season
You cannot eat from everyone’s table! That is why discernment is so important within the body of Christ! Discern the true among the fake! Use discernment in the Words being released. Not every word is of God!
Through my own personal experience before ministry, I was prophesied many times by someone close to me and at the time i was still growing in my walk with God.
At the time, some of the words did not set right in my spirit even then. As I began to mature in my walk, I realize now most of those words were more from this person than from God.
Do not chase after every Prophetic Word, but use Discernment!!
There are wolves disguised in sheep’s clothing!
There is prostitution of the gifts of the spirit so much more now. You should not have to pay $50 in order to receive a Prophetic Word.
For me what I have received freely, I pour into others freely! God always provides in every situation! It has become so much more about titles than just being in service to the King of kings!
Discernment is key!
I kept hearing that this morning and knew it was meant for the Body. It is crucial to have this daily and not let yourself be swayed by every doctrine or word spoken. Wise as a serpent, harmless as doves!
I declare fresh Wisdom and Discernment to fall upon the Body. Salt looks like sugar — know the difference!

Another important aspect of DISCERNMENT is the following, speaking of Communion, in All Aspects.
1Cor 11: 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not DISCERNING (emph. mine) the Lord’s body.
30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Just a reminder:
1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1John 4:2 Hereby know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
AGREED FULLY SISTER “DANA” IN YESHUA’ MIGHTY GLORIOUS NAME. AMÉN, AMÉN, AMÉN..! AND SELAH FOR MORE COMING FROM HEAVE’S = AMÉN..!
“You should not have to pay $50 in order to receive a Prophetic Word.For me what I have received freely, I pour into others freely.”
Amen!
About discernment;
The necessity of “discerning the spirit”, whether it is from God or not allways begins with spirit(s) inside ourselves. If I’m not able discern if my thoughts or speech origin from my own spirit or from the Father then I cannot discern anything else.
As we can see we can even close to the Lord, hearing His voice and despite this walking in the wrong spirit, because we cannot – without complete obedience – discern our own spirit from His, so we see how important the discipline of our thoughts are;
“He turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.Luke 9:55
PTL. This is a timely word for the Body of Christ. I’m learning and add I read the words from your page. I thought to myself. I’m old enough spiritually to know the difference. I’m asking for my ears to hear and to discern the voice of God. I know ppl will speak a word in and out of season as well in there own flesh.
Thank you Woman of God
