Why Personal Discernment Is Harder

  • Hearing God for yourself is harder than hearing for others because your own desires and emotions interfere.
  • Grant Pemberton highlights the soul (mind, will, emotions) as the main source of distortion when discerning God's voice.
ADVICE

Scripture Is The First Test

  • Never accept a personal impression that clearly violates Scripture; lean to plain biblical teaching.
  • Use Scripture as the highest test for any perceived word from God.
ADVICE

Bring Decisions Into Community

  • Bring major decisions into a trusted community and weigh prophetic impressions together.
  • Follow the biblical pattern of counsel and testing before acting on directional words.
