HOW TO IDENTIFY AND DISCERN A PERSON
How to identify and discern a person-07102012
We are ministering and talking to people all the time. We are meeting people everywhere and anywhere. We talk about fellowship, it is people; we talk about church, it is people. When we talk about business, we are meeting with people. When we go shopping we are meeting people too. So, all the time we are in contact with people. That is why we need to know how to discern. If we don’t discern we touch the live wire. When we touch the live wire we can be destroyed. We can be cheated and lied to. And if we know how to discern good people then we can make the right connections. Because we don’t know who is good or bad we get hurt. We are gracious and everybody is innocent until proven guilty. But you must know how to feel in the Spirit because the Spirit is your best guide. Even though in the external they look good but within you may not feel good. Do not just look at opportunity and think that it is good but you just got to know. If you do not feel right then do not do it. Sometimes when you go to the doctor and when you do not know what the Spirit is saying and he is saying something else, you are finished. So, how do we discern and identify a person? If you meet the right people and make the right connections than there will be right results.
Mt 7:15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Mt 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
Mt 7:17 "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
Mt 7:18 "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
Mt 7:19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mt 7:20 "So then, you will know them by their fruits.
(NAS95)
There ways you can know who they are. Some say that they are good but how do you know because good is not a relative word, it
