“What Has Happened to Discernment in This Hour?”
“Are You Ready to Swallow Everything That You Read?”
“And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light,” 2 Corinthians 11:14.
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil,” Hebrews 5:14.
“When all seems to be coming against you in this hour, know that I will uphold you.
Know that I will guide you; know that I will keep you by My Side. For as the days ahead grow darker and darker, I will be a burning light inside you.
For the days are racing ahead. Each day brings forth the need to stay closer and closer to Me. For I tell you that you need to be on your guard.
For My Servants, those who truly know My Voice, are in a position that they will guide those who are wayward.
For the enemy has come into the camp. He has stirred up mischief; he has spoken lies among the brethren.
For I have said that he comes as an angel of light. Many things that would seem to be pure and good, are but twisted truths that he has brought forth.
What has happened to discernment in this hour?
Are you ready to swallow everything that you read?
For what would appear to be first sweet to the taste may well be poison to you.
For you need strong meat in this hour. You need to be trained to know truth from falsehood.
These things become poison in your system. And I would say that many are leading some astray.
For they have allowed a strange fire to come into their lives; and they are going down a different road now.
Just because someone is popular doesn’t mean that they are speaking the truth. Learn to know the truth and then you will be safe guarded from error.”
Selah,

Stephen Hanson of In His Truth Ministries came to the LORD is a special way in 1975 and has prophesied regularly since. In these end-time birthing pangs we are reminded that judgment must first begin with the household of God. Will we be prepared and ready?
Yes Lord, all this is so true. Discernment of what God is doing is very critical in this hour when lies and deception seem to be at it’s peak. Lord Jesus, please keep us safely under the shelter of Your wings. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this word I 100% agree! Discernment is most certainly a necessity in these difficult times. For truth has become stranger than fiction. It’s as if we live in Superman’s “Bizarro world”. One can easily be led down the wrong road. God has given us His Word to help recognize fact from fiction. One of my favorites is watching to see if the fruit lines up with the Word? How can a house divided against itself stand? Will Satan help expand God’s Kingdom? I think not, his goal is but to kill, steal & destroy. Peace & prosperity are buzz kills for Satan.
Again, thank you for this word, Stephen. As my particular gifting is “discernment”. I have asked God all my life for wisdom & discernment that I might not be deceived as Eve was. There have been times when I have allowed my flesh to overrule what I knew God was showing me. I can tell you that NEVER worked out well! I now lean in to watch, listen & pay attention to what is being said & done. In the years since God has shown me & helped me navigate through some truly remarkable times. May God bless you this day & in those to come.
Absolutely and Amen! Alot of deception abounds. My prayer has been for a long while. Father, keep us from deception. Help us to stay close to you and walk in love, and in your truth.
