Discernment


1 Corinthians 6:19 

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,

whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

 

In me

 

If Christ resides in me and directs my life

can it be truly seen in this world of strife?

Won’t demons confront Him ... whenever we meet

and address Him directly … as for time they plead?

 

Is it not possible for demons to ignore His presence?

Every time they sense ... His fragrance is so essential.

And that a life in worship … to a demon is offensive

as shown by false prophets ... as that seems providential.

 

Oh! We need discernment … the gift of the Holy Spirit

and so to glorify atonement that in Christ we did inherit.
