                                  Discernment by Peter James

 

Recently I have come across some books, which have made it very clear

that the world is not what it appears to be.

I have been explaining this for quite a long time.

The purpose of this document is to help you to take the time to carefully

think about what is going on in reality.

 

 

I run quite a substantial website, with many documents and videos,

which are also on Youtube.

I get many emails which send me details of many really good sites,

with videos and documents, that I should watch and read.

It is kind of these people to send this information to me.

How can I watch all the videos, and read all the material that hits my inbox,

is a serious question for me.

 

The answer is that I cannot.

 

Many people keep a constant watch on the news, and then have big

discussions putting the world to right,  however, nothing ever changes.

Things only get worse.

 

In time the enthusiastic people suddenly become completely frustrated

and disillusioned, with their lives. They see that politics, businesses,

and the churches have completely failed us.

Few have any idea of what they must do, in the midst of their confusion

and frustration.

What is going on?

 

Many people, like to tell me that they have their bibles, and a brain,

and consequently they are quite capable of understanding

what is taking place.

I do not believe that it is as easy as that by any means.

 

I have mentioned this before.

 

A friend of mine who was quite bible literate recently died.

He knew that we had to watch and pray.

Therefore he walked around with his transistor radio to make sure

that he did not miss the news.

At every opportunity he watched the news on the Tel-Live-Vision,

as many do today. In reality he was a very confused person,

 with very little grasp of what was taking place in reality, as most are today.

 

We are told that the whole world is deceived.

 

 Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,

 called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:

 he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

 

If the whole world is deceived, it follows that what we call the governments,

education, businesses, religions of any complexion, entertainment,

and ‘the media’, and the internet,

will all be involved in the deception, literally from the cradle to the grave.

 

If we are to believe the bible, regardless of whom you are, or where you live,

you have been deceived.

It makes absolutely no difference how educated you have been,

your I.Q., your success in any area of life, the caliber of your friends

or your church. You have been deceived period.

 

With a false foundation from birth, much of our lives have involved

chasing shadows. Some of us do this at a frenetic pace,

whilst others do it in a more leisurely manner.

Any construction based on a false foundation has ultimately

to be destroyed.

This applies to our ideas, our hopes, our goals and our dreams .

Eventually, as they must, they will come crashing down, if they are false,

when they are confronted by ‘Truth’.

 

Because it is only ‘Truth’, that can free us from the prison of deception.

The Truth being referred to here is Christ not just information.

 

John 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 

This is in itself a problem.

A deceived person does not know that they are deceived.

 

The deceived will do absolutely everything to hold on to that which

is held dear. Understandably, no one wants to be thought of as being

foolish by either their peers, their families or their friends.

Truth forces us to confront ourselves, and we would rather not do that.

 

If all of the sources of knowledge have been corrupted,

as they have been, this raises several problems.

 

How are we going to discern truth from error, and change our lifestyles

and the habits of a lifetime, which have brought us to the condition

in which we now find ourselves?

 

We cannot expect to have masses of information thrown at us,

and as some reason, somehow we are going to use our intelligence

to work out what is best for us.

 

The fact is that it is this very process that got us into this mess

in the first place

 

The idea that we would somehow know by education and intelligence,

what to accept and what to discard, is totally false.

As I said our education has been almost completely false.

Simple logic shows us that this cannot possibly work, however,

much we would like to think that it will.

 

Christ made it quite clear that we cannot go by sight or hearing.

The reality is that almost everyone goes by sight and hearing

99.99% of the times.

The result is that we get it wrong 99.99% of the times.

 

Just consider, how many really happy marriages do you know?

How many relationships, which are really unions of tolerance,

and endurance do you know?

How many really happy, and contented people, who are at peace

do you know?

How many people do you know who are looking forward to the future,

when the prevailing environment is one of fear, uncertainty and the

breakdown of society, and all of the things in which we trusted.

 

The following verses are referring to Christ, who was God in the flesh.

He could not go by sight or hearing, but somehow we reckon that

we could do so, and we also feel that really if we found the right words

to tell others,

They could do the same.

It is simply not true.

If that were true then the world would not arrived at the present crisis point.

Our combined brain and mind power would have solved all our problems

long ago. The reality is that they are just becoming worse and worse

 

Isaiah 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,

and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit

of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit

of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

Isaiah 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear

of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,

neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

Isaiah 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove

with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with

the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Isaiah 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

 

It is very simple indeed.

Discernment requires the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in us.

If there is no Holy Spirit there will be no discernment.

We are told that the Spirit of truth has to come, and then and only then,

will he guide us into all truth.

 

 John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,

 he will guide you into all truth:

 for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,

 that shall he speak:  and he will shew you things to come.

 

It is for this reason that it is pointless to bombard our families with our

‘excellent’, material, which is going to make a difference.

You might as well cuddle up to your pet dog or cat,

and try to explain your “wonderful understanding” to them.

 

This verse means precisely what it says.

Why do we find it so hard to believe it.

 

John 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent

me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

 

See:  God Calls Whom He Chooses.

 

We can also see the pointlessness of trying to force our beliefs on others.

First we cannot give meat to babies, that is what the apostle Paul explained.

 

1 Corinthians 3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:

for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

 

Secondly, in most cases what we have reasoned will be a blessing,

will not only fall on deaf ears.

Our actions can easily turn people against the Eternal God, even violently.

 

In our Rhema several years ago we were clearly told that we could only

be told the truth about the world situation little by little, as it would be too

much for us. This has been proved very much to be the case,

as the website documents show.

This is a biblical principle.

 

John 16:12  I have yet many things to say unto you,

but ye cannot bear them now.

 

Isaiah 28:10  For precept must be upon precept,

precept upon precept;

line upon line, line upon line;

here a little, and there a little:

 

Consider what a disaster it would be, if the Eternal God listened

to a sincere prayer of yours, for your family to be called at this time

and join you in whatsoever fellowship you might be.

Then sometime later you find out that you are in serious error,

and should not be in that fellowship in the first place. In the meantime

your family has joined you, and are very happy with their ‘saved condition’,

but you now know that you have been greatly deceived, and so have

your family. What do you do then.

 

What I do is a very serious business, and I fully realise the tremendous

responsibility. Be very careful indeed, as it is very easy to find that instead

of advancing the kingdom, you are actively working against it.

Be very clear in your mind that you are thinking and doing what the Eternal

God wants, and not simply doing what you want to do.

 

This is precisely what the sons of Sceva did. Acts 19:14

They did their own will, and got a severe beating from evil spirits that

they tried to cast out.  This is an extreme case, but it is possible that

we can get a rude and even painful awakening, to get us back on track,

and doing the will of the Eternal God and not our own will.

 

Just this week twice I heard on radio 2 that people are basically ‘good’.

I said when you start from a wrong foundation, you will get into trouble.

If this is correct, then the bible is wrong, and we can throw it out

of the window. This is what it says about our hearts.

 

In this verse once again we have a word added in italics to clarify

the meaning.

It really reduces the power of the verse.

It should say:

The heart is deceitful above all.

Then we are told that it is desperately wicked.

It then closes with a very pertinent question.

Who can know it?

This implies that the normal carnal mind which is completely untrustworthy,

and exceedingly wicked.

It cannot be known, understood, or discerned, however,

people expect to discern people and events.

As far as the bible is concerned we can see the impossibility

of trying to discern with just our human minds.

 

Jeremiah 17:9 

The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked:

who can know it?

 

You can easily see the problem with the question posed,

Who can know it?

Answer: no one.

 

Here we see a classic application of the difficulty of discernment.

Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain.

When we go by appearances, graciousness and beauty will lead you right

up the garden path. The handsome hunk, and little Miss Pretty,

have been the ruin of many.

However, if the man or the woman feared the Lord, instead of superficial

beauty, a right spirit, with inner beauty, is what should be sought

and that will last forever.

 

Proverbs 31:30  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:

but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

 

            Another problem that has to be coped with is the fact that there are very

       few people, who have sound minds.

            This verse tells us a great deal.

 

            2 Timothy 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;

                                    but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 

It tells us that there is such a thing as a spirit of fear.

If your life is one that is governed by fear of one sort or another,

it will be supremely difficult

to discern correctly.

Your judgment will be coloured by fear.

This fear is of our adversary.

 

We are told what the counter to the spirit of fear is.

It is the spirit of power,

It is the spirit of love, and very importantly,

It is a sound mind.

 

The over riding factor of these three things is that they are all gifts

of the Eternal God.

It states ‘For God has given us,

the spirit of power

the spirit of love,

a sound mind.

 

This means that there is no other source in the whole of creation.

If the Eternal God does not give us these attributes, by His Spirit.

 

How can we discern, if we do not have a sound mind?

           How can we discern, if we do not operate by the genuine spirit of love,

           we are not swayed by appearance and what we hear?

           How can we discern, if we are not imbued which the spirit of power,

           which will enable us to make wise decisions, even if pain and difficulties

      are involved.

 

If we are totally honest we will have to admit, that many of the people

around us simply do not have sound minds. Look at our leaders of all

types, do their deeds strike you as being sensible, logical, and to benefit

the people, who put them in power?

The people with whom we work, and live most times display characteristics

that hardly can be called sound.

A sound mind is a very rare and precious thing.

      

            We can now begin to see how absurd it is for us to expect others

       to have wisdom and discernment,

            when they have so very much working against them,

           as I have clearly shown.

 

           Precisely what do I mean when I speak about discernment?

        

            I mean to separate the precious from the vile, and having distinguished

            the good from the bad, to hold on to that which is precious and discard

            that which is vile.  

 

            It is not sufficient to make the separation, and then for one to still holds

            on to the vile.

            There would be no point in making the separation in the first place.

            Once we have made the distinction, and recognised that we have a choice,

            it is then imperative that we choose the precious.

 

            Jeremiah 15:19  Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return,

            then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me:

            and if thou take forth the precious from the vile,

    thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee;

    but return not thou unto them.

 

    Note this can be taken to be referring to people,

    because, it states that we must not go back to those from whom

    we have been separated, but, if they want to come to us,

    say for instruction this is acceptable.

 

    It is easy to illustrate how difficult it is to discern the true from the false.

 

    Some are going to be killed because of the messed up minds

    of their persecutors.

    If they were able to discern they would do no such thing.

 

    John 16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,

    that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

 

    That discernment is a Holy Spirit activity is confirmed yet again.

    How much plainer can it be stated?

 

     John 14:26   But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father

    will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things

    to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

    In the parable of the sower, we see different types of people,

    and how they responded to the truth.

    We can see that several did not have the discernment to accurately

    distinguish between the precious from the vile, and to hold on just

    to the precious. It has been my experience over many years that the first

    flush of excitement, when confronted by truth, in the vast majority of cases,

    quickly vanishes.

    This is precisely what the following verses state.

 

    Out of six verses 4 are telling us that when confronted by truth,

    the recipients failed to grasp how precious was the gift that they

    had received, and they soon lost it in one of several ways.

 

    Just one verse deals with those who saw that the truth was precious.

 

    Matthew 13:3  And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,

    Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

    Matthew 13:4  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side,

    and the fowls came and devoured them up:

    Matthew 13:5  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much

    earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness

    of earth:

    Matthew 13:6  And when the sun was up, they were scorched;

    and because they had no root, they withered away.

    Matthew 13:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,

    and choked them:

 

    Matthew 13:8  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit,

    some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

    Matthew 13:9  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

    If we discerned how very precious the truth is, this is what we would do.

   

    Matthew 13:45  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,

    seeking goodly pearls:

    Matthew 13:46  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price,

    went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

 

    It is also worth pointing out that having found the pearl of great price,

    it meant so much to the finder, that he sold all that he had in order to buy it.

    It also does not tell us that he then went looking here there and

    everywhere, for more ‘goodly pearls’. The merchant man was looking

    for ‘goodly pearls’, but when he found a superior  specimen pearl,

    he stopped searching, and purchased it.

    Having sold all that he had, he would have nothing left with

    which to buy any more pearls any way.

 

    Somehow many of us keep endlessly and fruitlessly searching in vain,

    for something that most have already found.

 

    There are many who are forever studying and seeking more knowledge

    of the truth.

    What happens in practice is that because they have cast aside that

    which they found, they return from whence they came and end up even

    more confused than before.

 

    2 Timothy 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge

    of the truth.

 

    As I said if truth could come by study, with all our intellectuals and

    universities, the world would be overflowing with, peace, joy,

    harmony and even prosperity.

 

    So many people find that which they think is precious, but very quickly,

    the fowls of the air came, and note the word ‘devoured’, them

 

    Matthew 13:4  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side,

    and the fowls came and devoured them up:

 

    When you read fowls of the air do not think of pretty little sparrows,

    robins and the like.

 

           Luke 8:12  Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil,

           and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe

           and be saved.

 

            What the son of Man had sown would lead to salvation, but Satan,

            who is represented by fowls, came and snatched the words of life from them.

            If they had discerned the real value of what they had been given,

            they would have been very careful with what they had,

            and would have guarded it diligently and carefully, so as not to lose it.

 

            Truth leading to salvation tends to be given by genuine servants

            of the Eternal God.

            Many do not discern that the person, who has been teaching truth

            is a genuine part of the body of Christ.

           They therefore treat the servant casually, and as if they were valueless.

            As with all things, all actions have consequences.

     

       See the video: Why Many Are Weak, Sickly And Sleep            The Document

 

            The above video/document explains that because we do not discern

            the body of Christ, many are weak, sickly and die.

    You can see that discernment is not only important, but it is critical

    to our well being.  

 

            In these critical last days discernment is going to be critical,

            if we are going to survive.

            We have to be living on an entirely different dimension.

 

           Christ told us that the Father dwelt in Him, and that the words,

            and deeds which he did,

were not His own, but were the words and deeds of the Father.

 

We can see clear applications of the discernment of the Holy Spirit.

Here are just two of many.

 

Matthew 9:4  And Jesus knowing their thoughts said,

Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

 

Luke 11:17  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them,

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;

and a house divided against a house falleth.

 

           We can see what a complicated obstacle course that we have to navigate

           through in these troubled times.

           It is easy to see that our human reasoning cannot get us through

           this jungle of confusion.

         

            2 Timothy 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times

            shall come.

    2 Timothy 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,

    boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

           2 Timothy 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,

           incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

     

       2 Timothy 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more

            than lovers of God;

           2 Timothy 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

 from such turn away.

    2 Timothy 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

 and lead captive silly women

           laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

            

            2 Timothy 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge

 of the truth.

           2 Timothy 3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,

 so do these also resist the truth:

           men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

           2 Timothy 3:9  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be

 manifest unto all men,

            as theirs also was.

  

           Remember that if someone is confused and their minds have not been

           opened by the Eternal God, and you bombard them with information,

            they just become even more confused to the point of despair.

          

           Information overload was forecast in the bible.

 

           Daniel 12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,

           even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,

           and knowledge shall be increased.

  

            Although our minds,  are marvelous miracles, with immense capacity,

            they are finite.

            That means that there is an actual limit to how much information

            can be retained.

            This differs between individuals.

 

            Often something has to be erased or at least put into an archive from

            which it is almost impossible to retrieve.

            Therefore we were told:

  

    John 14:26   But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,

    whom the Father will send in my name,

    he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,

    whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

    It is also possible that the seed of error which has been sown, will take root,

    and snuff out the truth that one once had.

 

    Matthew 13:5  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:

    and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

    Matthew 13:6  And when the sun was up, they were scorched;

    and because they had no root, they withered away.

    Matthew 13:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,

    and choked them:

       

            The solution is to pray for discernment in order to avoid ‘knowledge’,

            which can just increase vanity, whilst it subtly destroys the truth.

            The above verses clearly show that it can happen in a variety of ways.

            The knowledge that is very important to us today, is the truth which

            changes our lives, and brings it into line with what the Eternal God requires.  

 

            See: What God Wants      

 

        What are you going to do about it before it is too late?

   

           See The Video:  Obedience Is The Only Way Of Escape

 

        Be Humble    Repent   Listen To The Eternal God   Obey Him          

 

 

          This is very easy to say, but I assure you that it is physically impossible,

           without the empowerment of the Eternal God.

           Just going up to some altar call, running to some church, or isolating

            yourself in the hope that somehow it will all go away, will not do it.
