1Co 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
To discern means to understand or know something through the power of the Holy Spirit. Discernment can help us understand the mind of God in regard to our day today activities, detect hidden errors and evils in our lives and the lives of others and bring fourth the good that may be concealed for ourselves and others.
The spiritual realm actually has more substance than the natural realm around us. Believers are exhorted to keep their eyes on the spiritual things rather than on the natural things: ” So we fix our eyes not at what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal ” ( 2Co 4:18). E.Keith Hassell
The things of the spirit can only be spiritually discerned. It is the will of God to reveal what is happening within and around our circles. But unfortunately, we miss out on many of these things because we are spiritually insensitive. If we fail to discern what is going on around our sphere of influence, we are at a danger of becoming spiritually irrelevant . Let’s pray that our spiritual antennae will always be properly raised high to enable us tap from the spiritual realm and be in a position to discern both the good and the evil.
