Unmasking Satan’s Strategies: Discernment Vs. Suspicion (Part 4) Series

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)

SUSPISCION IS LIKE AN ORDINARY STONE; DISCERNMENT IS LIKE A SPECIAL STONE OF GREAT VALUE LIKE “DIAMOND.” Most of humanity are walking around with the ordinary stone of suspicion in their hands and throwing it at others. Discernment is a pearl of great value. It comes from our heavenly Father of Light in whom there is not shadow of turning of darkness or shade(James 1:17).

Knowing the motives of other people is beyond our jurisdiction as human beings. None of us is qualified to know the deepest motives why people do what they do. Their motives could be good or evil. Whenever we try to venture into the domain of people`s hearts(their inner chambers) we will get into trouble. Only God qualifies to see the deepest underlying motives of our hearts. Sometimes, we ourselves are not too aware of our own motives, how then can we know other people real motives?

OUR JURISDICTION AS HUMANS IS TO JUDGE ACTIONS NOT MOTIVES!!!!! LET US REMAIN WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION AND LET GOD DO HIS WORK WITHIN THE REALM OF MOTIVES. If there is anything evil lurking behind the scenes, God has His way of bringing it to the light. Many people have lost their marriages in the name of discernment when it was Satan`s diabolical device of SUSPISCION involved. Somebody may see an elderly man sporting with his grown-up daughter in public and misinterpret that as lovers affairs out of suspicion. SUSPISCIOUN IS OUTRGHT DEMONIC AND SHOULD BE BANNED WITHIN EVERY CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! Oh! oh! How many marriages, homes, churches, nations, and institutions have fallen apart because of the misinterpretation of other people`s motives. For example: a lady may choose to get close to a man with a pure motive of simply helping him solve the current problem he is going through. But the guy could misinterpret the girl`s motive as wanting to establish a lovers affair with him, and he begins to circulate news to his friends that the girl is falling for him. If this is not the girl`s motive, the guy could ruin the girls kindness and sabotage her efforts.

A person smiling at you does not necessarily mean that they want to establish a lovers affair with you. Try to see everything from a positive, holy, righteous, kind gesture, and pure lenses. Let us use the above scripture(Ph. 4:8) as a plumbline to live our lives. If there is anything evil or sinister that Satan has deployed against you and you need to be aware of, the Holy Spirit will not hesitate to reveal it to you or give you heads-up so that you can stop the operations of the devil in the life of the person involved. Discernment is primarily revealed to save the person involved if they are willing to repent and to disarm the devil.

Discernment flows from our heavenly Father`s heart to help us to lovingly correct a situation with evil motive attached. Love is the source or fountain of discernment. Love believes all things, hopes all things. Love gives the benefit of the doubt and responds by putting others first. Love sees a person’s value beyond his or her behavior. But suspicion is the opposite of giving the benefit of the doubt. It assumes the worst and assigns the worst intentions to others. If your thoughts about another person do not align with God’s thoughts about them, it is not discernment. Suspicion destroys; discernment saves!!!!

Discernment takes us behind the scenes or curtains where Satan is operating. Discernment unmask Satan`s operations he is executing in human being lives. He uses humans to carry out his dirty jobs. The human being Satan is using are people Jesus died to save. If we are not vigilant, we will partner with Satan to destroy people in the name of discernment when it is pure suspicion. As we come to the end of this warfare series, I want to emphasize, people are not our true enemies!!!!!!!!!!! Our true enemies are Satan and his host of demonic entities vying to destroy us as God`s precious people!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Remain blessed and let us walk in agape love, one of our greatest weapons of our warfare.
