Discernment Folks --
If you have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit ---ask for Discernment it is a GIFT of the Holy Spirit ----but you need to ASK for it ----it does not come to you automatically -----you need to pray and ASK for it ---Very important to have -----when you go into Church settings today -------

But the issue is do you know the difference between the voice and discernment of God compared to your own beliefs and thoughts?

To be honest I am not sure we have discussed that much together if we have I don't remember I have not the best memory but one thing I am sure plenty of people can say about me even those who dislike me is that I am pretty open about things that actually sometimes gets me under arrows but I just only know to speak my heart what you see is what you get with me.
I don't expect people to believe me about this stuff I can be as honest as I can but all I can do is is that

I'm a little late in this thread, but I have some advice.
When unsure about any manifestation of the Spirit, always ask yourself... What was the purpose of that? Does anyone leave with a real change?
Jesus wouldn't send the Holy Spirit unto us to simply shake us up or knock us down without leaving a permanent change.
God is a God of PURPOSE.
No one of the Trinity puts on a show for us. God is not an entertainer.
That said, I have witnessed times where His people got beside themselves & the Holy Spirit still did a work in God's house in spite of it.
Now you say, how can that happen? It's simple.
EVERY move of God happens by His grace. We don't deserve it. There doesn't need to be a perfect attitude in His house or a perfect service because if that was necessary, it would NEVER happen.
When Jesus was doing miracles in the multitudes, remember how many times He cast out devils. In spite of demon-possessed people present, Jesus could still do what He needed to do.
And He still does.

So it wasnt just for me it was for everyone who saw it.
