Feelings seem different to me than senses. Feelings come quickly run hot and dissipate, they are more reactive, but "senses" are a steady discernment that nags at us.
We cannot trust our feelings, but we can trust the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
I have had "senses" about things many times and every time they were proven right.
Discernment comes from God after having been trained in truth through the Word of God.
Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!”
Proverbs 3:13 “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,”
Philippians 1:9 “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment…”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Hebrews 5:14 “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
James 3:17 “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.”
So many facebook friends are experiencing illness in one form or another, it has become a way of life for them.
May the Lord give them peace as they muddle through the tough stuff. He can take us through even when it is not time to take us out yet.
Sometimes we focus on the big things we pray for and forget the little ways He answers every day.
May each of my suffering facebook friends know that they are not alone, Christ is with them and there are those of us out there who care about them, even when we cannot be together physically, we are praying for them from afar.
And, there are ministering angels surrounding them that help in these hard times.
Hebrews 1:14 "14 Are not the angels ministering spirits, sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
We may "feel" alone, but we never are completely alone, Christ is in us and His angels surround us.
Any man who will walk out on a wife for a shack up honey, is showing his "character", his character doesn't change just because he got a new girlfriend.
Perhaps a character like his was what destroyed his marriage. If he had no more honor and respect for a wife that he wouldn't try to mend what was wrong, then he is the problem.
The same goes for the women who are looking for a better guy. The problem is that when a man or woman abandons a spouse, they have such low character that they cannot be loyal to someone unless things are exactly the way they like them.
So, guess what, everything is all about them, they have no empathy, they have no devotion nor do they have any desire to be better for someone else. Just sayin!!!!!
Remember those who abandon marriage, are taking themselves to the new relationship, the very self that probably destroyed the other person in the last marriage.
We become more confident when we confess our sin, know that it is cleansed and we are moving closer to the holiness we seek in Christ.
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
When we believe Christ we can move forward no longer guilty but a little more mature in the Lord.
Those who desire to hold us back will treat us as thought nothing has changed in us.
Those who love Christ are excited about what has happened to us and join in our joy.
Psalm 16:9 "Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure."
Romans 12:15-16 "15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.…"
