Discernment
“21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' ” Matt 7:21-23 NIV
Whatever happened to discernment?
It seems to have almost disappeared;
Many people believe all miracles,
And false teachers are revered.
Even a false holy spirit
Dwells amongst us today.
Feigning God’s love
Making an impressive display.
The truths of the Bible;
Men mostly do not read;
Listen to the tales devised
By mere men instead.
Spiritual discernment is a gift
That few seem to possess.
They follow deluding spirits;
False messages widely confessed.
Truth has become distorted
By a mountain of traditions.
Hardly a soul questions
Their spiritual condition.
Often church is entertainment,
Instead of worship to God.
Whilst His truth’s concealed;
Fancy words most applaud.
Spiritualism is overtaking
Many who have been churched.
Partake not of the Chalice
Until you’ve thoroughly searched.
Search for a means of Salvation,
That’s not hinged on works,
But based on Bible teachings
Rather than the writings of clerks.
See that faith and mercy
Are the solutions for your soul;
If you are truly searching for a Savior
Permit Him to transform and make you whole.
