I don’t have difficulty hearing from Him and have the gift of discernment. You’re providing common advice. That isn’t the same as a word of knowledge. There’s no maybes where that’s concerned. It comes from Him and hits the spirit.
As a rule, I don’t readily accept advice from strangers or seek their input. I need to know your character and walk. Nor does He send them my way. Its a rarity.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
I don’t lessen my discrimination in this setting. Familiarity breeds comfort and wrong assumptions. As numerous threads attest. Being in the company of someone who calls themselves a believer I neither know or haven’t met doesn’t suppose the Lord is speaking to me through them. The Internet requires more discretion.
Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
The Lord provided wise counselors for my edification. I know them intimately and see their faith up close. I’ve been given parameters for this venue and transgressing them never goes well. I appreciate your input. God bless.
