Discernment

*I withdrew some commentary from the 'Dialogue of the Savior' and some from the gospel of Luke to bring this lesson to you.

We are in a generation where we see religions gathering into one, celebrating their unity, and considering it holy. This must come to be. We are in a generation where nations and kingdoms unite in a singular economic system that provides unity and in time a form of dominion they will claim as peace. This also must come to be. We are in a generation where the power and dominion will claim holiness as of the living flesh. This also must come to be.

But the truth is not acknowledged. And the holiness of the unseen qualities of God is being claimed as greatness that denies Him.

Selfish love, selfish goodness.

The selfish fruit of the governance in heavenly places. They did not know love nor goodness or wickedness would have never became. But the inability to act in faith of what the tree of truth offers eternally, bore a vine that became great but beared only bad fruit. Selfishness creates prides, power, authorities. Selfishness gains, where there should only be cost.

It is written down that the Savior said, "The lamp of the body is the mind."

What mind is lit by false light still guides those in darkness. It provides a path that is great, and wide. But the mind that carries this light only walks towards destruction. No light that offers gains for mind that it shines from, is true.

"Therefore, trust in me, my brethren; understand what the great light is. The Father has no need of me, for a father does not need a son, but it is the son who needs the father - though I go to him. For the Father of the Son has no need of you."

The true light of God is not something we can carry in full, instead it is something that by faith we can seek out when our heart is questioning.

"No one will be able to inquire about these things except for someone who has somewhere to put them in his heart."

So we seek the truth by the kingdom, in our sincerity, and our denied nothing. As those who seek in faith that which the knowledge of truth has shown us, honors the Father through His Son. This faithfulness shows the Father to be righteous alone.

Although the kingdom is near all mankind, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit are present, does not mean that heavenly and earthly beings recognize their origin, nor the cost they create when they supply these fruit for gain. Intentions in the darkness are guided by reactions which are guided by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. None honor the Father, as they do not recognize His truth.

So what love is made a false love, and peace is made into a false peace. Because these fruits do not acknowledge the truth, and therefore; do not honor the Father in a way the great light recognizes. This is shared so 'that you do not lead your spirit or soul into error'.

Example 1:
A wife recieves a gift from her husband who gives it to her because he carries a flesh guilt for commiting adultery. He says, 'I love you'. She says, 'I love you'.

Example 2:
A minister of a church speaks openly about his love for his congregation, but complains in front of heaven and his wife about them bitterly.

Example 3:
In the midst of a passionate embrace, a spouse says, 'I love you'.

Now for examples of holiness

Example 1:
A man kills a child with his vehicle and later has the chance to ask forgiveness, and does so. The mother of the dead child accepts the opportunity to forgive, not wanting the man too suffer over the past. She prays thanks

Example 2:
A minister has had to sell his car to pay his rent, as his house is filled with the sick of heart, the blind, and the needy. He ministers to them with a sincerity deeper than ever before. He prays thanks.

Example 3:
A man beats his wife, as his heart is ill from terrors of his past. She gets up early, makes his breakfast, and prays for him to heal. She does this for ten years, and the beatings stop. She prays thanks.

Discernment in this context is recognizing not what is convenient, but what is holy. And if what comes through you benefits your self, it is not favor, it is not blessing, it is utterly wicked. Because it steals honor for not recognizing the truth and it hoardes praise that is meant for the Father, and it insults the Holy Spirit, whom bears witness to the holiness it provides.

So this makes judgement a bit more real. If I say 'I love', not because what it cost me, but instead, what I have gained; I am wicked in my heart, and worldly in my ways. Do not celebrate this in you. Repent power, put it aside, and do not return to it's gainfulness. Yes, forgiveness is real. Yes, harnessing forgiveness for the sake of prospering is wickedness. We have all done it, we all sin.

To love one another is not to celebrate your worldly relationships, it is to put them aside, and allow holiness to provide strength in your weakness. Love is clearly when it costs.

Luke 8:21
21
He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice."

To be sober is to recognize the difference between holiness and worldliness. And the fruits of the Holy Spirit are the holiness that comes from faithfulness and sincerity. The ascension brought forth the Holy Spirit so that it would be made clear those who honor the Father and those who honor themselves. This is the division that heaven is witness to aswell. This is also how those who are true, can and will be able to clearly point out the wickedness in heavenly realms.

In closing, we find the truth is the strength in our weakness. We grow closer to the Father, the longer we stay on the path our Shephard provided us. Do not fall away by allowing yourself to remain worldly, letting what is holy be considered what is worldly. This curse of the truth is a sword that divides. Pay attention, moment to moment, to honor what should be honored, and humble what should be humbled.
