PROCLAMATIONS OF FAITH

by David A. DePra

Regarding discernment:

The key to discerning what is of God is to know God

Himself.

Never seek signs and wonders from God. Jesus said

that an evil and adulterous generation seeks a

sign. Seeking signs often serves as a substitute

for seeking God Himself.

Rather than ask God to reveal His mind by giving us

a sign, the Bible tells us that we already HAVE the

mind of Jesus Christ.

God leads His children in many ways. But the

fundamental way is through a growing knowledge

of Himself.

Jesus said that "If any man wills to do His will, he

will know...." If I want to know the will of God, I must

first be unconditionally willing to obey it.

There is always a reason we believe error. It either

appeals to us positively or negatively.

It is a fact that even the most miraculous events

and incredible coincidences may not be of God at all.

Always pray with a surrendered heart about such

things.

God might allow us to be deceived for a season so

that He might set us free from the thing which

opened us to deception to begin with. Our God is

a redemptive God.

Either I will allow the Truth to adjust me to God, or

I will adjust the Truth to fit myself.

God promises to lead us into all Truth. But the

path to Truth often passes through many dark

experiences of deception and confusion.

God says, "All My ways are Truth." God cannot

lead us by telling us lies. Neither is He in even the

most miraculous event which contradicts the Truth.
