Discernment Without Healing Leads to Chaos!
Understanding Discernment Biblical Basis: 1 Corinthians 12:10 - "to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues." Explanation: Discernment is essential for recognizing right from wrong, truth from falsehood, and it helps guide believers in their decisions and actions. However, discernment alone can lead to judgment without compassion or understanding, which can create division and chaos. The Importance of Healing Biblical Basis: Matthew 9:12 - "But when He heard it, He said, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.'" Explanation: Healing is integral to the Christian faith. Without it, discernment may become critical and harsh, lacking the grace that God extends to humanity. Healing allows individuals to experience God's love and mercy, fostering unity and understanding rather than chaos. The Consequence of Ignoring Healing Biblical Basis: James 3:17-18 - "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." Explanation: When discernment is exercised without the accompanying healing, it can lead to harshness and division among believers. Chaos ensues when individuals become quick to judge without offering grace and healing, contradicting the call to love one another as Christ loves us.
