Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 24 Jul 07

The word of encouragement for today is developing your gift of discernment. Discernment is beyond wisdom, it is the ability to hear what God says. It is the Holy Spirit in action. God has given each of us a measure of this gift, some use it more than others, but today let us declare and claim this gift over our lives. As I was preparing for this daily word of encouragement for today, God was challenging me and making me realize how crucial, important, vital, and critical it is for us to use and develop this gift.

God is preparing, and in many ways warning us. The enemy knows how powerful God’s army is! The enemy knows how powerful one soldier is going to be for God’s kingdom. ONE Soldier can bring a thousand to flight, imagine what ten thousand can do. The gift of discernment is going to be used mightily to defeat the enemy. To some, God is going to use discernment to bring clear signs of warning and being able to discern what the enemy is doing. To some, God is prophetically going to us discernment to direct, lead and be the mouth piece for His purpose and plan.

However, what is even more powerful is the fact that every soldier of God’s army has the power and ability to discern the hearts of the lost. Each lost sheep is precious in God’s sight. The gift of discernment is going to be used by God through each one of us to bless, to love, to care, and bring the lost to God’s kingdom.

Today, let us grow and develop the gift of discernment. I pray that we would hear God clearly guiding and leading us. I pray that even in this hour we would see, hear, and know God’s plan for us.

Psalm 77:13-14 the word of God says, “Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our GOD? You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.” Remember this verse, because watch and see, God is going to display His power through His people—us!
