There are times when we are able to discern evil in someone even when they are not speaking and we are meeting them for the first time.
The Spirit in us senses the spirit of evil in someone else.
Notice how John the Baptist in his mother Elizabeth's womb lept at the presence of Jesus in Mary's womb. They were both in the womb and could not speak to one another but John the Baptizer sensed the Spirit of God.
We can do the same thing! We don't always recognize what we are sensing because we have been trained not to judge anything so we often ignore what should be obvious.
When the Holy Spirit speaks to us we know it is Him. Sadly far too many Christians in our day don't know what it feels like to hear from God. They go on through their lives figuring things out for themselves, working real hard to make what they want happen and then claiming it was God who told them what to do.
When we hear from the Holy Spirit we know its Him and we don't have to figure anything out. Sure we are responsible, make our plans, give them to the Lord and let Him decide which way to go.
Have you heard from the Holy Spirit, confident that it was He Who spoke, or do you flounder around wringing your hands hoping to figure out if He is speaking or not.
Think about it!!!!
