Empowered By Resurrection: Rising Into Discernment to Fulfill Destiny
Scripture reveals:
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God…”
— 1 Corinthians 2:9–11 (KJV)
True discernment is not born from intellect, logic, or human wisdom, but from the Spirit who searches the deep things of God. This is the resurrection power at work in us—opening our eyes beyond the natural into divine understanding.
Beloved, in a world where appearances can be deceiving, we cannot rely on our senses alone. Like Daniel, who carried an excellent spirit, discernment is cultivated through daily fellowship with God. It is in consistent communion with the Holy Spirit that our spiritual senses are sharpened to distinguish between good and evil. As we yield to Him, we rise above confusion, gaining clarity, direction, and insight to fulfill destiny.
Have a spirit filled day, and may you and your family continue to thrive in deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit—walking in divine discernment, guided beyond natural senses, and empowered by resurrection power to fulfill destiny. Shalom.
