Comments on: Discernment, Revivals, and Godly Common Sense http://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/05/discernment-revivals-and-godly-common-sense.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:01:17 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: C Kelly http://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/05/discernment-revivals-and-godly-common-sense.html#comment-46203 C Kelly Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:04:52 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/?p=879#comment-46203 Reading all these comments, makes me not confused but makes me wonder the lack of unity. I have not spoken against the movement and I wont I am reading all the comments. I am from Northern Ireland and the revival came here from lakeland when a Pastor went over there. He went at the start of this revival to lakeland. I went to some of those meetings and there was freedom and miracles happened and I genuinely mean God was doing a good work. There was no hitting people or anything. I don't know what happened with Lakeland but discernment in this day and age is needed!! We need to step up and really seek God in everything because God doesn't confuse!!! I have always been weary of anything coming out of America because there has always been some sort of confusion. But i went to a church that was started by a group from texas. They were Spirit-filled but so grounded and I have grown so much as a christian. Bottom line we need to step up our walk seek God for discernment this is not a natural war!!!!The enemy is sneakier crafiter than us but not God we need to know from God what is the Holy Spirit nad what is counterfieit!!!!

I was always taught that we can judge the fruit, not the person. I am living in Guatemala where fruit abounds. Good fruit, looks good and has a pleasant fragrance. Bad fruit on the other hand, can look good at first, but you can definitely know when it starts to decay, it stinks. When it stinks, it is repulsive as well. The thought hit me, fruit judges itself. Plain and simple, we shall know people and ministries by their fruit, and that fruit will judge itself. However saying this, we do need to learn discernment, this shows us that the fruit is bad when the fruit is indeed bad and not just looking good.

And it's amazing to me how that agreement sets some charismatics' mouths a-foaming. Patricia,

I absolutely agree. And it’s amazing to me how that agreement sets some charismatics’ mouths a-foaming.
