Discerning the Spirit | Discerning the Times

Matthew 16:22-23
22 Peter took Him aside [to speak to Him privately] and began to reprimand Him, saying, “May God forbid it! This will never happen to You.”

23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on things of God, but on things of man.”

Matthew 16:21-27

The significance of this portion of scripture.
Jesus knew what he had to do. He was discerning the times.
Jesus was discerning the spirit of what Peter was saying.
“Look Yashua we don’t have hit this wall without protection. I’m pretty sure I can get some of the followers and we can put together a beefy hedge of protection around you.”
Jesus wasn’t saying to Peter “You are Satan.” But rather
Jesus was saying. Listen to yourself, Peter. That’s just how the Satanists would bully their way in, planning and putting together their diabolical scheme.
“Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on things of God, but on things of man.”

Hosea 4:6
Amplified Bible
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will].

Wisdom comes from self- examination in contrast to the scriptures and with the Holy Spirit of guidance.

Intuition, in a general sense, refers to the ability to understand or know something without the need for conscious reasoning or analysis.

Intuition, specifically, is often associated with insights, a dream, a fleeting vision, a phrase, a unique word, in the seers mind or inner ear.

There is an urgency to quickly write the word or phrase down. An uncomfortable feeling of forgetting the exact phrasing by morning.

Rarely, an audible word or phrase, gut feelings.

If God Leads Us At All, He never leads us contrary to the plainly written Word of God.

11 Steps for Making a Decision Following the Ignatian Method Expanded
By Jim Manney
The printed portion of this article is truncated. The remainder of the Article is in a website.
•
1 Identify the decision to be made or the issue to be resolved.

The issue should be practical—about doing or not doing something.
It has to be real; that is, there really is a decision to be made—a question about whether you should or should not do something.
It must be an issue about which you have the right to make the decision.
You must have or be able to obtain the necessary information to decide intelligently.

If you have difficulty identifying the issue, follow this five-step procedure:
List the various issues you might be deciding about in the next few weeks or months, or in the next year’s time.

List the actions you might take about these issues.

Make a list of pros and cons for each issue or possible action.

Rank the issues and possible actions in the order of preference as you currently experience them.

Use the issue or possible action ranked first as the focus of your discernment.
•
2. Formulate the issue in a proposal.
State it as a positive, concrete choice.
Make it as specific as possible (What you will do, where, and when).

State it in the way that God initially seems to be drawing you.

State it in the form of X vs. non-X or X vs. Y.

Example of an X vs. non-X proposal: “I will take enough courses next term so that I can graduate this coming May.”¬

Example of an X vs. Y proposal: “I will stay in my current job with company A or I will accept a job offer from company B.”
•
3 Pray for openness to God’s will, and for freedom from prejudgment and addictions.

Ask for that inner freedom and balance that allows you not to be inclined more toward one alternative or option than to the other.

This means to ask to be free enough to be influenced only by this one value: which alternative will give most glory to God and be expressive of my own deepest self, my authentic self?

To arrive at this absolutely necessary inner freedom, you may wish to discuss the matter with a spiritually mature person who can help you.

In particular, discuss what obstacles could be limiting your freedom by blocking you or inclining you to one alternative over the other.

Possible obstacles: projections, disordered attachments like inferiority complexes, superiority complexes, or glorified self-images; “shoulds” or “oughts” that tyrannize you; perfectionism, fears, materialistic greed, and possessiveness; past hurts and self-pity; competitiveness that leads to envy; impatience with yourself or others; lust, ingratitude, and irreverence; desire for control, power, status, prestige, exclusiveness, and so forth.

As preparation for your prayer, read over slowly, carefully, and attentively the following.

Note the passages that strike you most strongly.

Make these passages the source from which you talk with God about the particular areas where you need freedom.

Where do you need greater detachment about the alternatives or options in your proposal?

Bring them to God in prayer. Ask above all for a deep love: love for God, love for the people being affected by the decision, and love for your own true self or authentic self.

Pray that no self-centered attraction or aversion about a choice will sidetrack you from what the Holy Spirit is pointing you to.

Ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all this.
