Okay, so when we prayed and we asked God So, what did you see? What did you sense? Anyone else anyone So, you know if you if you go through the The list right like it could be a word it could be a sentence it could be some kind of a Inspiration like in a Impression in your heart It could be a picture Right a sequence of pictures It could be maybe a Something from the Bible that came to your mind as you were praying right or maybe a Personal experience or a situation or something that that brought came to your mind again So anything at all that you sensed as you're praying okay. Yes. No, maybe If it's no you can say no If it's maybe then we can talk about it, you know, you can explain it, okay, right? I realize you know, it's it's like maybe you know Where you are it could be Probably a little bit noisy and maybe you're not able to pray but but this is something that I Just want to encourage all of us, you know as As something for us to grow in right when we we pray in the spirit when we when we pray to the Lord to You know when we are asking when we are interceding for someone to to be aware of what What God is lead us what God is, you know putting in our hearts, right? Okay, yes, Georgia saying something I sense the spirit of God pouring into someone I'm not sure who it is, but he's refreshing and replenishing someone.

So I just want you to be prepared to do that right prepared to to receive prepared to Step out Okay, here's from Elisha.

Thank you Thank you for sharing that and confirming that Wow, awesome. The God will make a way. Praise God Awesome. Yeah. Yeah Okay, fine, let's let's move on to the next chapter Which is a Chapter 12 Just a minute discerning of spirits. Okay, so this we this we see as one of the gifts that are listed there Okay, so just before going yeah, you know, you see that many times, you know, whatever God puts in our heart Right, it's it's it's timely Right, it's accurate like what zealot only shared for subuses and Divya shared for Elisha and what was generally shared, right? Georgia shared something and So we see that it's timely. We see that it's you know, it's a timely word from God and and of course You know some of it. It's a word of knowledge Like in Elisha's case and also in Subash's case, you know, word of knowledge so By God God is saying specifically about something that's happening and now even you know even as we pray even as we continue to pray continue to share and Even as we grow in this, you know, we become Sensitive it becomes stronger. We become Stronger in the spirit in the spirit in the man, right? So And the Lord, you know begins to reveal even more details Now if you if you study if you when you look at the book of Acts, right? We we saw that To Cornelius, right? God gave an address God gave the address of where Peter was staying details like name The entire address So he could share that with his helpers and they could go and spot Peter share with him and bring them back now You know, you must understand that this was in a day and time. There's no, you know, no phones No cell phones, no smartphones, no GPS No, you know Google Maps but God being so accurate and So specific Same Holy Spirit who indwells us, right? So as we continue on in prayer The Lord reveals and we begin to hear and understand not with the purpose of saying, okay, hey, I can hear from God I can understand these things, you know not to wear it as a Medal of honor or a badge of honor But really to to be a servant again what pastor was sharing this morning during the mentoring session or to really to serve To understand that we have a role to to know that we are vessels in the master's hand for his use so we you know to serve in any way and Purpose, okay, okay, let's move on to the next gift which is Oops, sorry, which is Discerning of gifts Okay, sorry discerning of spirits. I'm sorry Can you see that? Okay? Okay, so we see this again listed. I Want us to just go back to one-quantains 12 and read through that list, okay? Let's go to one-quantains 12 and And Yeah, just reading from verse 7 Chapter 12 verse 7 But the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for the profit of all For to one is given the word of wisdom through the spirit to another the word of knowledge through the same spirit to another Faith by the same spirit to another gifts of healings by the same spirit to another the working of miracles To another prophecy to another discerning of spirits to another different kinds of tongues to another Interpretation of tongues. Okay, so we see this discerning of spirits is something that is listed as one of the One of the gifts here. Okay, so we're looking at discerning of spirits. So what is the discerning of spirits? You say that it's the ability to supernaturally see or perceive Into the spirit of people Okay, or it could be into the spiritual realm. You know, that's the second thing to see look into people's hearts To in order to determine, you know, what What is motive? What is their motive? What is their intent? Are they speaking by the spirit of God? Are they doing something as influenced by? their own flesh Right, or are they influenced by the evil one to to look into people's heart spirit So to know that so So this is a gift It also helps us to determine what is of God. You know, something is of God. This is not of God It could also be to open our eyes to look into the spiritual realm to see Well the activity of Activity in the spiritual and what God is doing what the angelic ministry is, you know, are the angels ministering Maybe is there something which the spirits of darkness the powers of darkness are doing to open our eyes to look into the spiritual realm Okay, now that's a difference between the gift of discerning of spirits and Spiritual discernment, you know spiritual discernment like wisdom when we say It is something that is acquired, you know Because of spiritual maturity and also our experience with God our walk with God and and so, you know We train ourselves to discern what is good now that spiritual discernment. What is now? This is not that, you know, this is a super supernatural Impartation or what God does in that instant like to look into the spiritual realm or to To discern, you know, what is of God? What is not of God or to discern the hearts the the motive of people and so on, right? Again discerning of spirits is not being Suspicious critical or judgmental. Okay, just a disclaimer there Just because, you know, you have a suspicious bent of mind or temp, you know, that is that is how you are critical or judgmental That doesn't mean that This is you know, this is something Related to the gift of discerning of spirits. Okay So this is not the gift of discerning of spirits You know in the Old Testament we see an example where Elisha and his servant They go there, they see the army and and Elisha's servant says I'll ask my master. Okay, what shall we do? So Elisha says something This is a response. He says don't fear those who are with us are more than those who are with them and Elisha prays and says Lord, I pray open his eyes that he may see Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man Now you understand that it's not we're talking about the physical right because obviously the Elisha and this servant Both had their eyes open because the servant could see and he saw the vast army and Surrounding the city horses and chariots. So obviously he could see in the in the physical But Elisha and so so did Elisha, but Elisha could see beyond the spiritual Right So he prays and and he asked the Lord to show him the same thing to show the servant the same thing He says open his eyes that he may see and then the eyes of the young man was opened and The mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha Okay, so this is something that he his eyes were open. He saw into the spiritual realm In the in the ministry of the Lord Jesus when With regard to Nathaniel the same thing happens like same thing as in the Lord knows Something of Nathaniel even before he meets him And as he meets him he he says, you know, Nathaniel in whom there is no Guile and Israelite in whom there is no guile. It is no deceit and So Nathaniel says, how do you know me? You know, this is like we are meeting for the first time. How do you know me? So he the Lord is actually talking about Something about his heart, you know something about his character and he's saying, you know, in whom there's no deceit at all So it's like he's kind of scanning and reading his motive and intent and saying that there's no deceit Now Nathaniel surprised Nathaniel asked him, how do you know me? And then the Lord says before Philip called you. You were under the fig tree and I saw you he saw him in the spirit and and he saw and he kind of discerned Received what kind of a person he was and many times the Lord We read the scripture Jesus knowing their hearts. He knew what was in their hearts. What was going on? internally And and he says, you know, why do you think evil in your hearts, right? And so once okay, so I'm just gonna there are several other examples as well. You can go through that He so so how does it operate? It helps in recognizing that the kind of spirit that is operating, you know, maybe it's a Evil spirit that is causing some kind of a problem. So, you know, you're able to you know, you know that it is not a Behavioral normal behavioral pattern, but it's something that is empowered or energized by the by an evil spirit Okay, so we're able to, you know pray take authority maybe cast that spirit out and And declare deliverance over the person, right? Also to know if there are more than one spirit, you know The behind so there could be multiple spirits in the person Who's being possessed and who's being troubled by evil spirits? So knowing that so that also that information also the Holy Spirit Gives and it's the gift of discerning of spirits Recognizing falls and true ministers of God Spirit of truth and spirit of error and teaching Maybe, you know, people are teaching some kind of heresies. I'm kind of errors and spirit of God He he discerns. He's the one who leads into all truth and the Spirit of God Gives the person the ability to discern, right? And several other things recognizing what God is doing in the Spirit realm Recognizing Satan's plans and et cetera. Okay, so how is this discerning of spirits? How is the gift received? How do we operate in it? Like we might receive Like you said, no, God God can touch our spirit God and touch our emotions God can touch Our body right so he can use all this. They could be a check in our spirit They could be an alertness in our spirit. Maybe it's an uneasiness in our spirit Or maybe something of you know, that freedom is not there. It's like a constricting thing in our spirit Then we realize that hey, there's something that is wrong. The God is alerting me something On the face of it. Everything seems fine But there is something wrong So discerning of spirits Or sometimes there could be total freedom like a sense of joy a sense of like closeness and That also is by the Holy Spirit. So you're discerning that yes, there is joy. There is freedom. There is communion and You know, there is no there is no deceit in this now It could be in you know in terms of Relationships and it could be you know, you're with the body of believers and this is what it is, right? So That that also you sense in your spirit Okay, a certain knowing also knowing that a certain kind of spirit is operating right? You're praying and you're praying for some person and a certain kind of spirit. Okay, and evil spirit, you know They could be deceiving spirits. They could be you know a spirit of lust So several kinds of spirit, you know And the spirit is named because of the kind of things that they do so So it could be You know something that the spirit is bringing about a spirit of You know, whatever it's a maybe it's an unclean spirit, you know bringing about Causing that person to think and clean thoughts and you know indulge in unclean acts and so on or a spirit of lust so to To be able to know that so why so what do we do with that information? We move in that line, you know any pray or issue a command we pray and say, okay you Okay, this is the information that you have The spirit of God is putting your heart that there's spirit of maybe there's an unclean spirit So you address that by name and and say are you unclean spirit? You know, you I take authority over what you're doing and you know, I cast you out We'll leave right now in Jesus name. Okay Okay, so like we said, you know, it could be a visual God can open your eyes to see what is happening in the spiritual realm to see You know, maybe the angels ministering To see the spirit of God doing something in people's lives or you know, the evil spirits tormenting whatever it's This you know, God can Through this discerning of spirits God can reveal that to us and it's always for action Right, it's always to pray to always to do something always to when it comes to this It's to take authority to step up take authority to take our place and move into action Okay through dreams and so on What else Physical sensations, okay, you can go through that list, you know, there are many ways by which, you know, these We experience discerning of spirits The thing is that we how do we? proceed from there We move on to take authority to pray to to Minister to the person or maybe it's a group So question here, okay, why do these evil spirits try to take control formally by penetrating the mind? Okay formally as in Primarily, yeah, is that what you're saying Divya? Yeah, yes Yeah, the thing is, you know, whoever has our mind has us right because we think and we act according to it so Yeah, so maybe by leading us astray, maybe by through temptations through Deceptions, so that's definitely a strategy of the enemy, right? Yeah, so so that's what we see So he does that. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you Okay, so so the thing is for us to minister deliverance to take authority over the spirit to To stop something from progressing further. Maybe the spirit is doing something, you know, there's been some kind of destruction in the family or some kind of, you know Things being destroyed life's being destroyed. So to take authority and stop it Right then and there. Okay. We take authority. We position ourselves and we We stand take our place and stand Right. Okay Here's another thing if God reveals the evil intent in people's hearts then Sometimes we need to distance ourselves rather than getting entangled You know in like let's say God reveals and say, okay, don't get into that kind of say a business relationship or Or other maybe some kind of our other formal commitments Etc. So we might have to distance ourselves and and then ask the Lord Lord what next right? So it's it comes as a warning. It comes as Like the Lord saying, okay, you need to be careful, right? So Sometimes we need to do that We may need to walk away from being in the company of certain people, right again we might need to step away distance ourselves and We need to do that. Okay Refuse to agree with the prophetic word given with the wrong spirit, you know, that's the thing You know when you when you when you receive and you know that okay, there's a wrong spirit in operation like just like heresy or a false teaching You know, if there is some kind of some form of manipulation some form of You know something that is Happening and the person is ministering is creating a lot of fear bring a lot of bondage We don't have to agree with that word Right because you know that the prophetic word No matter how strong it is It is redemptive in nature. Right? So it is if it is just Creating fear and bringing people into bondage and manipulative in nature getting people to do something They don't they don't want to do and it's if it's for the benefit of the you know of the speaker And so on, you know the Lord gives you that discernment through the gift of discerning of spirits, so You don't have to agree with that word or say amen to that word or come in agreement with that And you refuse that word and say I you know, I refuse to come under this You know, I reject this word that is being spoken. I reject it. I do not agree with it Okay, so that was discerning of spirits So we see that you know, that's again a very invaluable gift and as we as we pray as we You know you and even in daily life, right? Maybe you're in business. Maybe you're you're a working professional and the Lord alerts you Lord gives you a check in your heart and About the motives of people or maybe he just opens your eyes to to see what is happening. Like the Lord will do that So So thing is for us to understand what do I do now? Okay? I receive this information. What do I do now? Now? This is what we Know what we have seen right? This is all that we can do Understand the authority understand our position and take our place. It's not the time to You know to retreat but to really take our place and enforce our authority Okay, and like we said it is also it might mean that You know one needs to separate. We're not retreating. We're not you know in any place Anyway saying that you know, not taking our place a position of authority, but you're saying, okay as Led by the Spirit of God, I'm not going to you know be part of this Any further a part of this kind of a thing that's happening I don't want to be part of it. I'm going to be I'm going to Part of this deception or part of something that's happening. That's not conducive. So the Lord has Put this and I don't want to Continue further in there, right? You make a choice you make a decision till the Lord leads you again and That's the other side of it, you know what you the other what you sense as an alertness what you sense as a check and so on At the same time we could also sense a great sense of freedom liberty In the spirit it need not be something always constraining it can be a great sense of freedom And in and if that is the case you you move with it, right? you go confidently and engage and and be part of what is happening as Spirit of God leads so Spirit of God leads sorry. So that is something that we can do, right? So any any questions on this before we go further into gifts of healings Yeah, I just had a question on this Distensing from you know those whom we think that and they are So in such cases like how do we handle? if We try to distance but there is manipulation Or you know, so how can we handle such such situations Yeah Yeah, I think we can just politely and firmly Just tell the person or maybe the organization, you know, I'm sorry. I you know, I Just like I don't want to be associated anymore Just very firmly say that Obviously there will be follow-up there will be you know from such a in such a case in such cases You know why why not and that kind of thing but then you know, you continue to pray through that, you know Just want to say, you know add a few few more remarks to it You know, sometimes what happens is like we are not comfortable in a way The Lord moves a lot does certain things and then Because it's outside of our comfort zone like we might come to certain conclusions, you know, like maybe I Come from a certain church background where it's all you know It's all very quiet and reverential and you know liturgical and so on and I Come to an environment where this, you know People are just worshiping loudly and singing loudly and crying out loud and and maybe people are praying for each other and people are You know Coming overwhelmed by the presence of the presence of God and sitting down or lying down You know, it it seems very offensive to my senses, right? So so I I might make form certain conclusions and I did you know From personal example, I was very very, you know, not very Think when it came to certain outward manifestations of you know, worship and and all that so So sometimes we we hesitate in that sense. So that is not You know, we need to be careful, you know, it's is it God You know showing me leading me telling me or is it my own fears my own, you know Me wanting to stay in my comfort zone. So that's that's something right but But the Lord will give confidence, we know that the Lord will give confidence the Lord will give us assurance and and When he leads right it is we sense it in our spirit, right? We know in our spirit So so that's the thing so to be able to you know, make that distinction But to answer your question, you know, again Yes, there might be attempts to you know, I'm just talking about maybe maybe it's an organization Maybe it's a ministry. Maybe it's you know, some kind of a maybe a business deal. Maybe it's some kind of thing that Yeah, even in a kind of a professional setup, you know But the Lord has given you a check in your spirit that it's not something there's no freedom You know, it's everything seems okay, but there's no freedom in your spirit. So Outside, you know outwardly, it's all fine, but there's no freedom in the inner man so that means that it's good to wait on the Lord and get a confirmation and then Yeah, when there's persistence to come back and to be part of it Then you just need to be firm and polite and loving and say, you know, you've made a decision and hopefully that will Help solve things Sure, sure. Thank you so much. Okay Okay, so then let's move on Any other questions if there's any other question? We'll look at that Okay, otherwise we'll move on to You know the next chapter chapter 13, which is gifts of healings Okay, gifts of healings that we see listed as one of the One of the gifts, right the old Old King James and I think even the new King James refers to its To it to it as gifts of healings Right plural With different kinds of healings So There is something that we see so what is it, you know, it means that yes God has actually designed the body to heal itself Right, you there's a cut and then you see that over a time If something is bleeding, you know, the body is designed to coagulate the bleed and then stop and then heal so we and also well, we know that You know, the medical science also helps in healing there's medicines and so on to which helps help us Help our body to heal help the mind to heal Now the gift of healing is not the same as that, right? So it is we're not saying that a Medical doctor has the gifts of healings, right? We're not we're not saying that because it's different. Well definitely, you know a doctor can Through his or her experience and whatever learning they have and they can you know prescribe but Medicine or treatment and that will help in the healing of the body But this is Is a supernatural work of God Which is resulting in which results in maybe physically healing a person emotionally healing a person, right? It's the work of the Holy Spirit and it's a gift of the Holy Spirit to bring about change in the body and mind Body and emotions of the person, right? so Yeah, the problems in the body can be a variety of reasons, right? It could be something that affects as a birth could be something genetic It could be because of abuse, you know substance abuse or neglect of the body It could be because of some accident or you know related injuries So many things and it could also be something that the the enemy does right? We read about the spirit of infirmity that the Lord Jesus, you know because of which the Amelior Jesus cast her because of which the woman was bent, right? So so So it could be several reasons, but we see that God heals all Okay, we see that the Lord heals all and the gifts of healings is Released to bring about healing for all kinds of these symptoms and conditions So how does supernatural healing take place? To understand how does supernatural healing Take place through a person who prays for a person and and so on We see that it's first of all through personal faith in God and in his word, okay? So I receive his word his word on healing What God says about himself that he is Jehovah Rafa. He's the healer That Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5 that he took my sin my sickness my pain everything on the cross and by stripes I'm healed so I Look at the ministry of Jesus every word that talks about how Jesus went about healing all who are sick and Through that when I meditate on his word that produces faith in my heart so I personally extend faith in God in his ability to heal and what he said about healing and Because of which I I receive Healing for my body or receive healing, you know through my personal faith in God and his word Secondly, it is through healing anointing and the gifts of healings gifts That is what we're looking at, right? It is through the healing anointing and the gifts of healings meaning, you know You can look at this chart Let me just Yeah, okay Okay, so Healing anointing it could be through an individual and where healing is administered to the sick minister to the sick so in this case, you know Well, it's good if the person was unwell, you know, they are taught the word and they They receive the word and they built up in faith and so on, you know, that's in the first case Through personal faith they receive healing However, they might be cases where they do not have the faith right, but because of the Healing anointing and the gifts of healing that is related and that is released at that moment Person is healed and Whether they had faith or not becomes irrelevant that they they just feel they're healed and Thirdly, it is also through God's presence and glory Sovereignly the presence of God is there and we know where the presence of God is there is the power of God and maybe, you know in an attitude of Worship or an atmosphere of you know, praise and worship that's happening there and the presence of God The power of God is present And there's healing that happens And we see that the person didn't even pray and ask God But was just in the presence of God and the glory of God Was present to heal Okay, there was a sense of Well desire expectancy faith That was there, of course, but It was just the presence of God sovereignly the person got healed Okay, so so we can Learn about all this and of course you can read the book ministering healing and deliverance you can download the book And I think you you will also be learning about this in the second second year About healing and deliverance, right? So so we see examples of this in the Old Testament Well, Abraham prayed for Abimelech his wife made servants and they all know They were barren and they know they bore children and God reveals himself as the healer You know several scriptures here Let's talk about you know some 105 verse 37 He brought them out with silver and gold and there was none feeble among his tribes What a testimony Right Nehemiah 921 again testifying of what God did 40 years you sustained them in the wilderness They lack nothing their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell their feet did not swell Some hundred seven verse 20. He sent his word and Healed them and delivered them from their destructions. He sent his word and healed them and several other you know examples of Healing that we see in the Old Testament Right and in the New Testament again. We see the Lord Jesus healing people In his ministry and he did it in several ways people touched him. He laid hands on them He spat on the ground, you know made a clay Excuse me And applied it and people were healed and so on so we we see that The Lord Jesus ministered in all these ways and he left an example for The early church the disciples and for us to walk in the early church walked in it Right, we see when we looked at the book of Acts we see that that they ministered in these ways Sorry, okay, we're gonna stop here and pick it up in the next class we'll more about healing and about gifts of healing and then also we'll also pray and expect God to move in our mess and release gifts of healings for maybe You know conditions that we've had for a long time nagging conditions and so on right so we'll do that We'll stop here and Yeah, thank you so much. Have a great Weekend. Hey, God bless you guys. We'll catch up next week Bye-bye
