Discerning of Spirits Is A Spiritual Sight Gift

Spiritual Gifts offer the kind of glue that is necessary to strengthen the Body of Christ so it can stand up against the onslaught of Satan, and the gifts are intended to edify and build it into all that Christ had in mind for his Church. It is very important for every person who is a true "Baptized by the Spirit, Christian" to search within themselves and through prayer to both learn what his or her "Gift " is and to put it into practice within the Body of Christ.

I have been under Satan's attacks for decades and am only now truly coming to grips with what this battle is about. The Church has become weak because we in America have it too easy and are not in  the battle in a way that really makes a difference! Most American Christians think that going to Church on Sunday, and a prayer now and then, will make themselves acceptable in God's eyes. Another segment of those who would refer to themselves as Christians, include doing good works into the mix to insure they are pleasing to God. Then we come to the "Christian cults", who include a variety of organized religious groups who think that their group is the "real church" and if you do not believe their perversions of the Scriptures then you can not be saved! The "speaking in tongues" groups fall into this category as well. I have been given the ability to "see" into the working of Satan within these false Christians! A well known religious group came knocking on my door a few days ago. You know who they are by the materials that they always want you to read. They even have their own translation of the Bible.


I have seen and experienced things that the normal human being would never see! God has allowed me to experience some of the Supernatural World, including His "Still Small Voice", His Hand, as a cloud, pointing to a mineral deposit, providing direction, and even seeing the Devil himself. The "Spiritual Gift" that God's Spirit has allowed me to learn to use, is "Discerning of Spirits", which is in effect "Spiritual Discernment",  It is a very hard "Spiritual Gift" to understand, to learn to use and put into practice, for of a variety of reasons. I have been trying to write, and will be writing, "The LORD Willing" in my several blogs concerning what He has allowed me to see and experience. My blogs as well as my gifting are for the purpose of providing "Spiritual Sight" to the "Body of Christ" as well as to edify the "Body of Christ", to the "Glory Of GOD". It is my hope that at least some will receive "Salvation" as well. In the end, GOD MUST BE GLORIFIED !

Because I have learned to resist the temptations of this world which is in the control of Satan, I have become even more of a target, and  I desire to become more of a help, for the strengthening and inspiration of true believers. Again, I see things that the normal Christians just do not recognize as threats and I need to Keep Writing and trying to explain that we are in trouble as a Church of Christ. Talk to missionaries who have lived with ex-head hunters and they will tell you what a great spiritual danger that there is and we in America just do not see it! Because I have seen Satan, spirits and have had a  demon try to posses me on Mount Diablo in California, I have had no choice but to recognize the dangers that are present! Please pray and listen for the Spirit of our Lord to guide you into the truth!

Are You Good Enough To Go To Heaven?

The Nountaineer

In this "works based" world of being good enough, there is a question that is always hovering in the back of the minds of those who have this belief and that is : have I been "Good Enough", to avoid hell and eventually see heaven? Most do not even want to consider that possibility and avoid even thinking about it. They often consider, at least sub-consciously that they are "good enough" because they do good things, or they are better than their neighbor, in their own minds. But the bottom line is this : How do I really know for sure? The fact is, is that they can not know! They are likely to say, if asked, I am a good person, I have never killed anyone or they have not broken many of the 10 commandments. They do not want to believe that the Bible is God's Inspired Word and must be taken seriously! If asked, they have their share of excuses why God should let them into "His Heaven". What do you believe? Are you "good enough"? If you are not very familiar with the Bible then you probably think that you are pretty good, don't you? I would like for you to consider what God has to say about this matter. God says that "He alone is Good". Did you know that? Then where does that leave you if you are not good? It leaves you without any hope at all! Your only hope is to do exactly what God says that we must do! Are you even a little bit interested in knowing what that is! I hope that by now, you are very interested and wish that I would get to the point.

I am now ready to tell you. It is a "free gift"! That's right, it is free but there is a catch. You must believe by "Real Faith", with all of your heart, soul and strength that Jesus is exactly what He and the rest of the Bible says that He is. For that "faith" is  like the "faith of Abraham' who was ready to kill his only beloved, promised son because he trusted God and believed by faith that God was able and willing to actually raise his son Isaac from the dead! This passage is found in the book of Genesis, Chapter 22. Now do you understand how important it is to trust God by Faith? It is not an easy thing to do. Not at all, yet it is necessary to believe with the simple faith of a child! Children are very trusting when they are very young and we are told by Christ that we MUST have that kind of faith! Do I possess that kind of faith? Not always! Trusting God can be a very difficult thing to do especially when suffering and pain and disappointment and many other kinds of struggles enter into our lives. I am going through those kinds of things right now and my faith has been weak and I am struggling to overcome my doubts! The Christian life can be and is very difficult at times. Are YOU ready to have the kind of "Saving Faith" that is necessary to escape the horrors of an eternity in HELL? Let me encourage you to do it right now because you could die tonight!!! God has declared that He knows the number of hairs on our heads! His knowledge of us personally is such that there is nothing that "God Does Not Know"about us. He also knows every heartbeat and how many we will have in our lives. He therefore knows the day of our death as well and we do not!

Another Soul Enters Eternity

                                                                   The Nountaineer



I have felt unusually down-in-the-dumps lately and I have not understood why. Today, I went to a Super Store whose name I will leave unmentioned, and at the next check-out counter I recognized three women of whom two do not live in my neck of- the-woods normally but I knew why they were in the area. The 90-year-old mother of the two sisters were in town because their mother had suffered  some Type of  heart attack. I had been in the dark except for a brief description about this woman being in the hospital. We finished checking-out at the same time and I was very anxious to ask about their mother. When I did, I was given the bad news that she had passed away yesterday.

I ate lunch with this woman in a semi-public facility a few times each week, and had done so for a few years. I had been very concerned about her because she had behaved in an unusual way, Other than  in previous months. Her attitude toward me had changed, even though I took very good care of her. I suspected that it had to do with the fact that I had on a few occasions mentioned that I was a Christian and had made brief comments to another person sitting with us, along those lines.  Even though these comments were made to other people seated with us, I suspected that it bothered her somehow. I believe that she was not "Saved"and she had developed hard feelings toward me, because of it, somehow. I am now convinced that The Holy Spirit had worked on her heart but she was resistant. I had waited for an opportunity to witness to her but she never joined the conversation when Christian related comments were made in her hearing. My heart has been very burdened because of her spiritual condition and somehow, The Holy Spirit was causing me to be troubled over her condition because her time was short!

This goes back to other posts that I have written about "Spiritual Gifting"and It was the gift of "Spiritual Discernment" which is in the Bible called, "Discerning of Spirits" that through God's Spirit, had troubled me for this past week or longer! Now she is Gone and I am convinced that she is not in a good place because of her stubbornness and now she will have to endure an eternity of punishment. I can not tell you how saddened I am over this situation and wish it had turned out differently

.
If you have anyone close to you who you suspect that he or she is not saved then make every effort to talk to them, privately, if possible because you may not have another chance, which was the case in my life. It is too important to allow an opportunity to witness to pass by! Eternity is a very long time, especially in hell.
