Discernment: A decision making process in which an individual makes a discovery that can lead to future action. 

Matthew 24 – We live in times of deception, be careful that you are not deceived. “You will hear of wars and rumours of wars... These things will come to pass but the end is not yet.” 

Nothing can be taken at face value, especially in a time where information is free flowing, often unfiltered. 

Romans 4:17 – “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”  

Luke 24:30-32 – Jesus’ disciples, who He had spent years with, didn’t recognise Him until he was revealed to them. There are truths in front of us that we fail to recognise, until we have a revelation of it. Revelation beats information, every time. Revelation is a greater understanding of truth revealed. 

Just as Jesus was revealed to his disciples, there is truth being revealed to us each and every day. We just need to discern it. 

We have entered a new time and are about to witness the greatest show on earth! The feelings you have now will subside and strength, faith, joy and peace will flood our souls!

We are sons and daughters of the Most High God. Heirs of God and joint Heirs with Jesus Christ . We have more power in us than all the powers of darkness because the Greater One lives inside us.

Luke 10:19 | 1 Peter 2:24 | Colossians 1:13-14 | John 8:36

Deuteronomy 30:19 - Everything we do on this earth is a result of choice. God gave us free will; the choice is ours. So what will it be? Life, or death? Blessing, or cursing?

Galatians 3:13 - Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the curse. It is up to us to take hold of that.

3 John 2 - Prosperity preaching has been given a lot of flack over the years. But let’s think about how God would see this; we are His children, would God want us to be in prosperity, or in poverty?

Poverty is part of the curse detailed in Deuteronomy 30, we do not need to live in poverty as Jesus has redeemed us from the curse. Believe this, have faith that God is true to His word.

Habakkuk 2:4 | Romans 1:7 | Galatians 3:11 | Hebrews 10:38 

We need to be a church that is agile enough to move with the Holy Spirit. 

A church that doesn’t wait or hesitate; when we hear God, we move. One that is continually deepening their relationship with God, filled with the manifest power and tangible presence of Jesus Christ. A church where people have a deepening connection with God that is getting stronger every day. 

Acts 1:4-8 - Be baptised with the Holy Spirit, be His witnesses. 

We must be acutely aware of the times we are living in. We need to be hearing clearly and accurately what God is saying. 

Acts 1:9 - “While they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight” 

As He left, He shall return. His coming will not be done quietly, but will be seen and heard around the earth. 

Revelation 1:7 - “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him.” 

Matthew 24:27 - “As the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” 

Read through to verse 31. Also see Revelation 9:15, 19:19 and 19:11-16 

Giving of thanks, praise and worship to God is something we bring as a gift to God.

• God says it's His will that we give thanks in every situation - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

• God's Word says to praise Him, in fact He says "let everything that has breath praise the Lord - Psalm 150:6

• Psalm 95:1-7 is a call to worship, and verses 8-11 are are a call to obedience. Worship and obedience to God are linked. They are linked by faith and surrender.

Worship is a heart attitude, it is surrendering to God (spirit, soul and body). Worship is a lifestyle.

Holiness is the essence of what God is. Everything about God is holy, so in order to get a revelation or understanding of His holiness, we need to know who God is and what He is like.
