dyk see check this out:


Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, & Discerning of Spirits


Discerning of Spirits


Discernment is the ability to evaluate something. The Greek term here literally means "to judge through." The gift of the discernment of spirits was the ability to "judge through" or evaluate prophecies, teachings, and/or people, distinguishing the false from the true. In that day, you remember, God spoke to the church through men such as the prophets. This gift (as noted in the previous chapter) served as a check on those who would abuse that and give words and teachings which were not God-sent (e.g., I Corinthians 12:3, where someone evidently taught that Jesus was accursed). This person with the gift of the discernment of spirits could declare the true nature of such a prophecy and affirm the truth of the genuine.


Peter's insight into the hidden deeds and motives of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11) and Paul's evaluation of the demon-possessed girl (Acts 16:16-18) illustrate this well. Perhaps the clearest example is found in I Corinthians 14:29 which commands someone other than the prophets to evaluate the prophecy given. This check was needed when the church had no Standard, no canon of Scripture, by which to measure the teachings.


As with the previous two gifts, there is a similarity today: God still gives discernment, but today's discernment is not based on direct revelation but rather on a comparison with the truths and principles revealed to the apostles and prophets and now inscripturated.


Their Demise


At least three considerations point to the fact that these gifts are no longer in the church.


1) Revelation is complete and has ceased.


2) The need for these gifts has passed. No more knowledge or wisdom and no other standard for the evaluation of teachings is needed than what is given in Scripture. Furthermore, if prophets are absent from the church (see chapter 15), then there is no need for the discerners to evaluate them.


Summary


These gifts of knowledge, wisdom, and discernment of spirits were temporary, revelatory gifts to the church, given to fill a unique and temporary need. Today the church has the greater gift, the complete Revelation of Scripture; that and that alone is the all sufficient guide for faith and practice


THE NEED HAS PASSED????? lol

dyk and my mom and I found dabulous, beautiful fabric that is 54 inches wide that I can use 4 yards of to make a "cloud nine" for the sensory room rather than paying $289 for!


dyk it's basically a big crash mat w/ foam chunks of different shapes and sizes on the inside. This fabric is for drapes and is light blue - I'll take a picture


dyk $2.00 a yard marked down from $22 a yard - we bought all 14+ yards they had left!!!

Karen,


DYK regarding the Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic coupon that you posted, I don't think a scanned copy will work.


DYK I have the actual card coupon here, and it says that reproduced copies won't be accepted.
