The gift of discernment

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker emphasizes the importance of discernment as a gift to add to our Christmas list. Discernment is defined as the ability to distinguish and understand the origin and motivation of actions and words. Biblical references such as Samuel, Solomon, Nehemiah, and Jesus demonstrate the importance of discernment in understanding God's will and the times we live in. The speaker encourages us to ask for discernment to understand the times we live in, God's eternal designs and purposes, and to flow in prophetic words given to the church.

Discernment is an important gift from God that we need to ask for in order to make wise decisions in life. It's important to discern whether decisions we make are aligned with God's will or our own desires. We also need to discern prophetic words given to us by others and evaluate whether they are from God or not. We need to protect ourselves from the deceiving subliminality of the enemy through society and learn to listen to the Holy Spirit, who reveals God's secrets to us. Our conscience is also an important tool that God uses to communicate with us. We should ask for the gift of discernment instead of material possessions.

There has been a very solemn presence from the Lord. And I recognize that obviously we do have our sorrows, we have our afflictions, but the most beautiful thing we can experience in moments like this is the mere fact of being able to experience the peace of God in our midst.

And I emphasize the fact, I want to reiterate, the fact that was mentioned in the prayer time that the peace of the Lord does not necessarily mean the absence of the situations that we may be experiencing, but rather refers to the presence of something greater in the midst of those situations. And that something greater is the presence of God that stabilizes, so to speak, our entire inner being so that we can cope with whatever is overwhelming us now.
