PRIZED ONES…”If YOU, I, WE can’t come out of “OUR” HEAVENLY “AURA” to relate and SHOW God’s REAL RESPECT and EORR DIVERSE LOVE TO EACH and EVERY SORT OF HUMAN INDIVIDUAL…then WE, YOU, I ARE ORNERY AND TOO FULL OF “IT”..and mistakenly TOO SPOOKY.” Fondly, Miss T
“When the spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth, He will not talk about Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak, And He will show you things to come “JOHN 16:13

NOTE: DUE TO REAL LIFE, TV MINISTRY, ADVERTISED, HYPING ,YOU TUBE. ONLINE, FANTASY, CHARISMA..ONE WANT TO EVALUATE FOR “THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH” ABOUT THE ONGOING BOOK OF ACTS ….ACCORDING TO BIBLE TRUTH? FACT? BOOK OF ACTS REALITY? PLUS..ENCHANTMENT, BEING STAR STRUCK, MESMERIZED BY PERFORMANCE, ELITE OR SELF RIGHTEOUS VANITY? NOBODY WANTS TO BE MISLED. INCLUDING YOURSELF OR THIS SOMEWHAT WISE PERSON.
THEREFORE, THIS IS AN ONGOING SEARCH AND SELF EVALUATING, MATURITY SPIRITUAL QUEST
The passage from John 16:13 highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding us into God’s planned living truth, tailored to fit our individual lives, callings, businesses, families, and ministries. It emphasizes the importance of being led by the pure Holy Spirit and remaining balanced by God’s Holy Word. This balance can be found by understanding both the Logos (the entirety of the Bible, including facts, scripture, historical perspectives, and specific stories) and the Rhema (the spoken word via the Spirit of faith that ignites a Bible promise intended for the individual to claim).
Developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior is crucial in this process, and asking Him to guide in learning how to handle complex human problems is essential. This may include studying the Book of Acts, sitting under great teaching, and seeking guidance from Christian authorities and informed individuals. The Book of Acts experience, which is an embuing, deeper infilling of God’s Holy Spirit, can be a powerful tool for understanding and utilizing the wonder-working power of the Holy Spirit, including the ability to pray in unknown tongues and understanding the value of using that power to pray for oneself and others.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT A “RELATIONSHIP” WITH JESUS? (it’s not JUST ABOUT RULES and ONGOING FELLOWSHIP..Because it’s WHERE, HOW, and WHO THROUGH You really need to INWARDLY HEAR)
Developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior and asking for His guidance in understanding and handling complex human problems is crucial in being led by the Holy Spirit. This includes studying the Book of Acts to learn about the wonder-working power of the Holy Spirit, seeking guidance from Christian authorities and informed individuals, and potentially receiving an experience similar to the Book of Acts, which can lead to a deeper infilling of the Holy Spirit. This can bring a greater understanding of the power of praying in unknown tongues and the benefits of using that power to pray for oneself and others. It’s important to study and understand the Bible, and also finding a balance between what is written in the Bible and what is revealed by the Holy Spirit.
ONCE AGAIN: Having a personal relationship(NOT JUST REQUIRED NEW RULES) with Jesus Christ as Savior and asking for His guidance in understanding and handling complex human problems is essential in being led by the Holy Spirit. This includes seeking training and understanding on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, which can be achieved through studying the Book of Acts, learning about the wonder-working power of the Holy Spirit, and understanding the value of speaking in an unknown prayer language. This can empower and strengthen oneself, and also aid in praying for oneself and others in times of need or emergency. It is important to keep in mind that this is a brief overview, and the understanding and application of these concepts can be further explored and deepened through continued study and guidance.
It is understandable for someone who is pragmatic, practical, and analytical to have concerns about losing touch with reality when delving into the realm of the Book of Acts and the workings of the Holy Spirit. It is important to approach these topics with an open mind and a willingness to learn, while also being discerning and aware of potential biases and fear-based reactions from those who may not have a deep understanding of these concepts. It is also important to be aware that there have been instances where people, including friends, family, or certain “spirit-filled” ministries, have become dogmatic, bossy, and prideful, losing control and common sense in the process. It is important to approach these topics with a balanced perspective, seeking guidance from knowledgeable and trustworthy sources, and always being open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in one’s personal journey.
It is important to approach the study of the Holy Spirit and the workings of the Spirit with caution and discernment. It is also important to monitor one’s own heart and the hearts of others, in order to ensure that the guidance and leading of the Spirit is aligned with the teachings of the Bible and the will of God. It is also important to seek guidance from knowledgeable and trustworthy sources, and to always be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in one’s personal journey.
It is important to seek guidance and mentorship from individuals who model the characteristics of respect and fruit as outlined in James 3:17.”the wisdom that comes from above is PURE, PEACEABLE, EASILY ENTREATED, FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD (true, wholesome, sincere) FRUITS, WITHOUT PARTIALITY, WITHOUT HYPOCRISY” These individuals should not be biased, controlling, or use manipulation tactics such as targeting, playing favorites, or using pressure for offerings. They should also avoid using false authority or engaging in “performances” to mesmerize others. It is important to be aware of these potential issues and to seek guidance from individuals who are trustworthy and who lead by example in their own spiritual walk. It is also important to be calm and grateful for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in one’s own journey.
“The Spirit of Truth who will guide me into all truth..” part of JOHN 16:13
I also know THESE MAIN 2 Bible scriptures to HELP me discern the IMPRESSIONS that could come from
1. My own soul (the Bible implies that the “human soul” means “mind, will, emotions) and the SPIRIT is the main DISCERNER-PERCEIVER SPOT yet warfare and clarity come from the MORTAL DECIDING, REASONING, HURTING, PRESSURE, UNDECIDED, OFTEN FEELING WORRIED..SOUL
2. Appear to be coming From the Lord (His Holy peaceful directing Spirit) OR FROM
3. Doubt and my own Unbelief (REASON: the Bible clearly states that “Faith and patience inherit God’s Promises” +”For without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for the one that comes to God must believe that He IS and IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”(Hebrews 11:6) + Hebrews 11:1″Now faith is.” add ROMANS 10:17 “Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God (meaning Bible teaching, even Scriptures)
4. And From anxious worry, and deep seeded worry, spirit of fear
SO I TRAIN the 2 FOLLOWING (what I consider the BASIC VERSES) to TEST “what” and “WHO” YOU may be “picking up” in the “perceiver-discerner” inner realm..
It is majorly important to be able to discern and distinguish between different voices and sources of guidance in order to ensure that it is the voice of God that is being followed. This can be achieved through studying and understanding basic verses such as 1 Corinthians 14:10, which reminds us that there are many voices in this world and each one has significance. It can be helpful to train oneself to discern between different voices and sources of guidance, such as memories, dreams, recurring thoughts, family advice, news, demonic influences, imaginations, false teachings, worry and cell phone calls, voice mail, ideas, etc. This can help to identify and weed through the voices that are not from God, such as those from the devil, worry, psychic or occult influences, or one’s own internal thoughts.
MY OWN PERSONAL FAVORITE STARTER EVALUATOR TWO
James 3:17 and 2 Timothy 1:7 (below) can be useful verses to evaluate and discern the source of guidance, wisdom, and direction.
James 3:17 states that “the wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, easily entreated, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” It serves as a reminder to look for guidance that aligns with these characteristics and not to follow guidance that is impure, divisive, or hypocritical.
2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.” This serves as a reminder to not be swayed by fear-based guidance, but rather to seek guidance that aligns with power, love, and a sound mind. This verse also reminds us that guidance should not make us to be fearful but rather give us power, love and sound mind.
ASIDE…SINCERE APOLOGIES..AS THIS IS A VERY BRIEF RUN THROUGH for I do not have the space to go deeper.
There is a balance to be struck between relying on the inner witness of the Holy Spirit for guidance and using one’s own human common sense, logic, and practicality. It is important to remember that the Holy Spirit works within the boundaries of what is logical and reasonable and does not contradict the laws of nature or what we know to be true from our own experiences and understanding. The Holy Spirit will not lead us to do something that is dangerous or unreasonable.
It is important to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit while also using one’s own critical thinking, common sense, and practicality to evaluate and interpret the guidance received. It is also important to seek guidance from other trusted and knowledgeable individuals and to seek confirmation of any guidance received through prayer and study of the Bible.
I SUBMIT THAT THESE ARE PRACTICAL AND LOGICAL STEPS
- Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is the first step in inviting the Holy Spirit into one’s life and learning to be led by the Spirit.
- As stated in John 16:13, the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” and will guide us into all truth and reveal things to come. (but majorly slowly, amidst many tests and attempts to block, stop and to discourage you..(take that as a chief sign that it is of major importance to develop an ability to “hear from the Lord”..but it take a RELATIONSHIP (time apart with JUST GOD and YOUR PRIVATE DEEP SELF) BIBLE STUDY and MENTORING, PRECISE MINISTRY FELLOWSHIP.
- As you grow in your relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit will begin to reveal the fruits of the spirit, like love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, meekness and self-control, as well as the gifts of the Spirit, such as prophecy, and the Five-fold office gifts of Ephesians ..
- LEARNING, QUESTIONING, GOOD TRAINING…It’s imperative, of extreme major importance that you, I to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and to seek guidance from trustworthy and knowledgeable sources, which can include online resources, individuals, or training groups, for the ongoing equipping and mentoring in your spiritual walk.
AGAIN as I stated prior, there no room for LENGTHY IN DEPTH Explanations.. …but can come later
THE REAL REALITY AND LOGIC
The key to understanding the role of logic in the spiritual journey is to first establish a relationship with Jesus Christ and trust in Him and His Word. As you grow in your relationship with Jesus, you will come to realize that He lives inside of you and is always available to guide and direct you through the Holy Spirit. It’s important to get accustomed to sensing His presence and recognizing the gentle, almost imperceptible presence of the Holy Spirit, often referred to as the Comforter or Paraclete in the Bible. This inner sensing and the ongoing company of the private and secret inside relationship with Christ and the Holy Spirit will guide and direct you in your daily life and decision making.
It is important to not only focus on the inner relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit but also to maintain a balance with the study of the Bible and understanding the Lord’s gospel mission.
Going too solo in your spiritual journey and not balancing it with knowledge and understanding of the New Testament and the Book of Acts, and gospel ministry training, can lead to losing healthy balance and becoming confused, or even falling prey to control, occult, witchcraft, and being misled by devilish people.
It’s important to maintain a balance of inner spiritual growth with a solid understanding of the Bible, gospel mission and ministry training, to avoid losing the healthy balance of your spiritual walk.
PERCEIVER-DISCERNER “SEER” VALUES
It’s important to maintain a balance between inner spiritual growth and understanding of the Bible, gospel mission, and ministry training, to avoid losing the healthy balance of your spiritual walk.
It’s reassuring to hear that you have been proactive in your spiritual journey and have sought guidance from sound and noble Berean Bible scholars in Christian ministry, and in a holy fear of the Lord, with a non-biased biblical perspective. This approach can help you to remain grounded and practical, relationship-aware, and other-centric, with your eyes wide open to the possibility of false teachings. This approach is the Grace of God that helped you to stay on track, and credit should be given to the guidance and mentorship that you received from the Christian ministry leaders.
It’s important to use caution (NEW MOTTO: “PERCEIVING STRONG IMPRESSIONS OF DOUBT ..TAKE IT AS A SIGN THAT MOSTLY LIKE MEANS: TO GET FULLY OUT!”
THUS..when interpreting messages, impressions, or voices, whether they are internal or external, that do not align with James 3:17 or 2 Timothy 1:7. These verses serve as a guide for understanding what is from God and what is not. If at any time you find yourself in a meeting, Christian group or church, and you start to feel concerned and what you perceive does not align with these verses, it’s important to trust your instincts and remove yourself from the situation. It’s important to be discerning and to always be in alignment with the word of God as a guide for understanding the truth.
It’s important to value your peaceful quality of life and to prioritize your own well-being. It’s important to be cautious and not to be too polite or too kind when it comes to your spiritual journey, as it’s important to be discerning and to be aware of false teachings that can lead you astray. This can include polished and skilled, but sometimes mesmerizing, persona-based ministry that can be seductive and controlling, and even involve the use of witchcraft. It’s important to have a strong foundation in the Bible and to have access to biblical teaching that can help you to stay grounded and avoid error. It’s important to be mindful of your surroundings and to trust your instincts, and to not be easily swayed by those who may have ulterior motives or who may be leading you astray.
It’s important to understand that hearing from God and being practical don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
It’s possible to maintain a balance between being led by the Holy Spirit and using common sense and logic to navigate complex and intense human problems.
This can be especially important in ministry, family, and business settings where the stakes may be high and the decisions are critical.
It’s important to remember that God’s guidance is not always clear-cut and may require discernment and patience.
It’s also important to have a strong foundation in the Bible and to have access to biblical teaching that can help you stay grounded and avoid error.
It’s important to trust in God’s guidance and to not be overly fearful of making mistakes or losing your common sense.
Then, as you begin to pray and seek His guidance, pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. If you feel a sense of peace and clarity, that may be the Holy Spirit leading you in the right direction.
However, if you feel a sense of confusion or anxiety, that may be a sign that you need to rely more on your own logic and common sense to solve the problem. It’s important to remember that God gives us a measure of wisdom and ability to think critically and make good decisions.
It’s also important to seek wise counsel from other mature Christians who can help you navigate complex issues. In the end, it’s a balance of listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit and using the wisdom and discernment that God has given us.
And all of this.. is how I tackle complex problems and make important decisions. This way of approaching things allows me to balance my practical, logical thinking with the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit, ensuring that I am making decisions that are in alignment with God’s will and plan for my life.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s relationship with God is unique and what works for me may not work for others.
ALSO It’s important to seek wisdom and guidance from God and trusted Christian mentors and leaders in order to navigate these complex situations in a way that honors God and brings peace and clarity to our lives.
HERE IS EXACTLY HOW I GO TO GOD ABOUT TOUGH DECISIONS, BIG PROBLEMS WHEN I DO NOT “UNDERSTAND” IF HOLY SPIRIT IS PERSONALLY GUIDING ME TO DO ANY OR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING “TRYING” METHODS:
1) Q. DO I ….LET HIM DIRECT THROUGH THE MANY TWISTS AND TURNS, DAYS, WEEKS, ETC…meaning “LED BY THE INVISIBLE PEACE FROM HIS HOLY SPIRIT ..EVEN whEN MY FAITH GETS TESTED (WHEN IT’S VERY UNIQUE EVEN ODD, WEIRD) This means MY inner listening for the clear precise directs coming from PERCEIVING, DISCERNING ” mostly inner hearing”
NOTE:..HIS STILL SMALL VOICE which must resemble FRUIT OF James 3:17 /1 Timothy 1:7..the Peaceful calm inner witness)
FOR BIBLE FOUNDATION FOR THIS: “Being LED” is found John 16:13,”the spirit of truth wants to guide YOU into all truth”; Genesis 5 Prophet Enoch, “walked and talked with God daily” Ezekiel 1 “vision of the wheel within the wheel” “the heavenly Holy Spirit gyroscope”) “My sheep will know my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow” Jesus in JOHN “I say nothing unless I first (inner perceiver ) see my Father say it”….and “I do nothing until I first see my father do it.” (such self government our Savior had to have the patience required to 150 % of the time DO THAT!)
2) Q. DO I…STAND ON ONE OR MORE OF HIS BIBLE PROMISES..it means DO I SENSE HIM GUIDING ME TO CLAIM A BIBLE SCRIPTURE OR PASSAGE PROMISE WHICH HE HAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT THE UNIQUE PROBLEM
NOW, HERE COMES THE PART ABOUT HUMAN LOGIC, BEING PRAGMATIC AND NOT LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY
3) Q. DOES GOD WANT ME TO approach the human problem, relationship difficulty, my monetary true concern, etc USING what I SEE, THINK naturally, logically humanly note as is reasonable, what my first thought is…AND THIS MAY INCLUDE getting help, bouncing stuff off of someone else, talking it out or waiting and being patient and taking no action for now..
4) . OR DOES THE LORD DIRECT “TAKE SPECIFIC ACTION” like ” BEING A WARRIOR OF PRAYER AND TAKING DOMINION AUTHORITY” “pray, bind and loose, claim promises, stand on prophecies and Bible verses, Pray in the spirit, “walk it out by FAITH not by SIGHT, fast, get help, ask for more pray power, ETC” …FASTING?
SO that is MY WISDOM…and I submit it as a POINT OF VIEW not a DOGMATIC AUTOCRATIC HARD AND FAST “FIX IT” FORMULA..
TO CLOSE: HOW to LIVE A QUALITY LIFE NO MATTER WHAT, HOW, HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE (with the LORD and employing knowledge of TIPS)
However it is HOW I go about this life. It’s a proven HELPFUL TIP..to LIVE ONE’S BEST QUALITY OF LIFE “RIGHT NOW” and not PROJECTING into the FUTURE..with all of the news and gore ..
I PRACTICE “casting each one of my CARES, FEARS, BURDENS, WORRIES on to the LORD and let them STAY THER…I watch my own MIND, HEART to NOT TAKE ON what I do not HAVE TO which is often the online, nightly news, conspiracies, rumors, “continual prophecies” and others often negative, fear prone discouraging COMMENTS. Rather I know myself very well and ‘GUARD MY OWN HEART, MIND, WILL AND EMOTIONS” very vigilantly … I believe that if WE ARE GOING TO GO, then WE WILL GO but I do NOT HAVE TO WORRY THAT until that DAY ARRIVES.
SO I AM NOT GOING TO BE “MOVED” (best to not get tricked into FALLING INTO THE PIT OF DESPAIR as it is EASIER to not FALL IN than to CRAWL BACK UP AND OUT…means…if you have a MIND TO..as “IT” is in the MIND” that is preoccupied with STUFF, LOOKS or WORLD NEWS, END TIMES 666. SO I maintain my MENTAL”TIPPING POINT” (means knowing enough to be aware, to pray but NOT letting in SO MUCH that I become oppressed, depressed, negative (THIS IS WHERE I BELIEVE THAT GUARD MY QUALITY OF LIFE)
SO ..COME THE NEXT EARTH SHAKING ONSLAUGHT OR HIGH WATER…WITH ME, IT IS “ONE DAY AT A TIME” ( “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Spirit of FEAR!!”) ..AND Then I count my blessings, willfully CHOOSE to consider all this IS going WELL and RIGHT and then I savor my JOY OF THE LORD so that is WHY I get humour, say wild comments and enjoy pleasant true persons, and always seek out a reason to Laugh, fellowshipping, work out and create. Am very thankful…plus…not a bit bored. *Just need some deep HOLY SPIRIT minus WELP undue warfare)
THUS I believe in taking my life ONE DAY even “one moment at a time, walking and talking with God like a Old Testament (non 24/7, 365, low key HAPPY CAMPER Enoch
God’s Leader Blessings to YOU.
