Discernment increases proportionately with the knowledge of the truth.

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. 6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 24:5-6

Jesus was so full of the Word of God as a young boy that He was able to discern truth from error. Knowing the truth is the most important element of discerning. As we become intimately familiar with divine truth, we will increasingly and more astutely discern evil, falsehood, error (Luke 2:46-52).

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 Butter and honey shall he eat (truth), that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.” Isaiah 7:14-15 

As a young Jewish boy, Jesus grew in the knowledge of God by meticulous, diligent study of the Holy Scriptures.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. … 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:46-47, 52 

The Benefits of being Exercised in God’s Word

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14

“by reason of use” – It’s by increasing in the knowledge of God, the Word of God, that one will “have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Those who are rich in God’s Word are growing in His discernment, able to divide between the holy and the profane and to stand and declare God’s truth (Ezekiel 44:23-24). This is exactly the testimony of Scripture concerning our LORD Himself.

The only way to rightly divide, to properly understand the Word of God as He intends it to be understood, is to study His Word.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

All men, especially those who teach, are to be judged, discerned against the written Word, which is the final divine authority.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11

A vibrant community of disciples is what the Bereans had going on. They were diligently, daily pouring over the Scriptures, individually and together. They counseled together to discern divine truth. They were rich in the Precepts of God and able therefore to test all things against it.

“Search the scriptures…” John 5:39

Age, growing older, does not mean one is growing in wisdom. Also, individual disciples can be far ahead of their years by the meticulous study of the Holy Scriptures.

“I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:99-100

God’s Word is to dwell richly, abundantly in the hearts and minds of God’s people. We are to cherish God’s Word, our spiritual food, higher, more important than our physical food.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

The earliest saints of Christ communed, were dwelling richly in “the apostles doctrine” which is the Word of God (Acts 2:42).

“Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.” Proverbs 20:18

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14

Believers who both study privately and with other true disciples, grow exponentially in knowledge, divine strength, and discernment.

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17  

Those who are true to God, His true servants, teach discernment:

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments (Word): and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.” Ezekiel 44:23-24

Disciples are students and those who are learning the Word are growing in His discernment, able to divide between the holy and the profane and to stand and declare God’s truth (Ezekiel 44:23-24).

HAVE YOU noticed how amazing it is that most of those who are going to argue a Bible topic, seeking to justify their heresies:

  1. Never use Scripture in their argument or if they do, it’s out of context (usually regurgitated from wolves) and they refuse to be corrected when clearly shown the biblical context. This is because they don’t know it nor do they want to know it because they may feel convicted to repent if they were to know it.
  2. Their own social media page has little or usually NO Scripture on it and yet they’re going to be the Bible hero on your page. SMH

Jesus says the devil is a liar from the beginning, WHEN shall we cease being deceived by Him? WHEN shall we hearken strictly unto the Word of our God? (John 8:44; Hosea 4:6) Discernment

Mission Mexico Part 38

BROTHER JUAN IS BLAZING A GOSPEL TRAIL

FYI, Biblesinbulk.com (Reina Valera 50% off) case of 36 for $90 ($2.50 each)

TODAY a man named Juan was ministered to, He is born again and on fire. We fellowshipped best we could as I had interrupted his work. As I walked by, a man (Juan) was carrying food into a cafe and he dropped some bottled water. So I grabbed the bottles (plastic) that were dropped and ministered Christ to him. He immediately responded by speaking God’s Word. He does delivery work to restaurants and cafes and so he sees lots of people daily. Brother Juan took a stack of the JESUS tracts and he’s passing them out today! He just sent me this….. looks like I will have to be supplying him from now on, we hope right.

Juan just texted me and said “Brother, I visit the prison, and my brothers need Bibles. God’s Word never returns back to Him void (Isaiah 55:11)!”

Juan is also asking me to go to the prison with him to preach and distribute the Spanish Bibles and JESUS tracts.

So we will be supplying him with Spanish JESUS tracts and the Reina Valera Spanish Bibles (only). RVR Reina Valera is the King James Bible equivalent in Spanish.

*Thank the LORD for the 5-7 people who are financially supporting this ministry outreach monthly.

Can you believe more Christians aren’t taking advantage of this opportunity!? Wow. Okay just a thought.

God is good for sure.

The LORD says He orders the steps of His people. Psalms 37:23 amazing.

I was going to walk down another street actually, but went that way, the street whereon I met brother Juan.

And as I was passing Juan the water bottles fell to the ground.

So naturally I stooped, picked them up and handed them to him

and began speaking the Word to brother Juan.

Handed him a JESUS tract.

And he immediately lit up.

He is a Holy Ghost filled saint no doubt, evangelizing daily.

The Holy Spirit in action through His body and Juan….

Here are but two of the people Juan is ministering to this week, within 24 hours of us meeting.

Brother Juan is ministering the Word of our LORD and passing out more JESUS tracts today. Juan just sent me this:

“Brother, they’re asking me for a Bible. Glory to God, some of us need big print Bibles.” Juan

RESPONSE:

For now have them download the Reina Valera Bible in the play store on their cellphone. I can get you more Jesus tracts soon. And we have Spanish Bibles in print on the way, in the mail.

Saints, I am going to give brother Juan at least hundreds of the JESUS tracts. This guy is on fire for Christ. Holy Ghost filled (Acts 1:8).  Thank you for supporting by prayer and giving. Meeting our brother Juan was a divine connection 100%. I was actually going to walk down a different street just before meeting Juan yesterday. God says He orders the steps of His people and this is one of those times He did such. The LORD made it so easy as the water bottles Juan was carrying, some of them (2-3) fell to the ground right near my feet. Those bottles were picked up and handed to Juan and the ministry began and Juan lit up and has been ministering boldly ever since as it seems he was already doing in his daily life. Yet now that he has our support, the support of the body of Christ, he is even more fervent and diligent in ministering to others! Here’s a picture below of two of the people Juan ministered to in the last 24 hours. Juan is blazing abroad the matter of the Gospel, just as did the leper whom Jesus healed! Leprosy represents sin and when Jesus cleanses our sin, we began to “blaze abroad the matter” telling others the Gospel.

“But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.” Mark 1:45

Let’s roll saints.

Send Reina Valera Spanish Bibles here and they will be forwarded to me:

2 new ministry videos for your edification in Christ, our coming King.

NEW ministry videos.


Antonio came back again today….

We had an excellent time listening to the Bible in Spanish on audio, talking, and ministering to him. Antonio also got some new clothes and this week I am going to order him some shoes he asked for. He told me he wants to look more presentable because he’s looking for work. He received some coin and coffee too with his eggs and potato breakfast. God is good and thank you for praying saints. Oh and he asked for shoes. Yet he wears a different size than I have and so I am going to order a pair in his size from Amazon today. Anyone is welcome to support the mission to these wonderful people.

Thank you for lifting beloved Antonio in your prayer. He’s been coming by regularly and is responding more and more to the love and Word of our God. Due to your prayers and support he’s received coin, clothes, food, got cleaned up, and some new clothes. Ordered some shoes he needs for working…. God is good.


Thanking God for those who do and also those who will pray for Mission Mexico …. support is a blessing. https://safeguardyoursoul.com/mexico-mission/


TODAY, beloved Gillermo received God’s love from Christ’s body, in the form of the spoken Word, the written Word (JESUS tract), and he asked for some food. Gillermo was hungry. So, we took him to get a very nice warm meal, egg breakfast, pastry, etc. God is good saints. Jesus is coming. You are invited to lift a prayer for the precious people of Mexico.



Your prayers and support help this and much more to be accomplished. 1 Corinthians 3:9


José and I had a lengthy talk a few days ago. He reminded me that I had ministered to him in the past. He is really searching and gladly received more ministry, Scripture and the exhortation to repent and receive Jesus (Matthew 6:33). He took another JESUS tract also and said that his daughter is now saved.

You are invited to lift a prayer to our Father in the name of our LORD Jesus for beloved José and his family.


Because you care, Clara has been receiving regular groceries and also her cell phone bill was paid, etc. God is good.

THAT SUBTLE SERPENT SATAN – NIV and Modern Bible Versions Exposed

Check how they completely removed the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:21 and chopped Romans 8:1 in half, and removed the BLOOD from Colossians 1:14? Acts 8:37 was also deleted and this is not even scratching the surface of the corruptions in the NIV.

BEWARE: The “rapture ready” website is run by a person or persons who state this following error:

“Some people are so fanatical about the exclusive “truth” of the KJV that they would doubt your salvation if you were saved by reading another version. The New International Version Bible is probably the most attacked of all the modernized versions, but any errors it might contain are subtle ones. Other folks believe other translations are the Mark of the Beast.”

FACT: The NIV removed 64,000 words and that alone makes it in violation of the severe warning of Jesus recorded in Revelation 22:18-19 … oh and the NIV is published by a division of zondervan which publishes the satanic bible and other perverted books such as “the joy of gay sex.” Oh and the NIV committee included Virginia Mollencott, a life long atheist and lesbian. See below.

As you take in some of this information, perhaps ask yourself: Could it possibly be the Holy Spirit of God leading someone to read the NIV?

The answer is a resounding NO!

Also, ask yourself: If a pastor isn’t exposing these counterfeit “bibles”, why not?
