Re: Does Discernment Really Work?
In December 2009, 1 of the Assistant Pastors in my church looked right at a guest I had bought to church with me and said, "Lord deliver us from a lying spirit," as he walked away from us. This was NOT during a sermon. I remember, he looked at us for a few seconds after I had greeted him. I saw out of the corner of my eye where he kept looking towards him and he was standing close to me. Then he said what he said.
I picked up on what he said right away, but I don't think my "friend" did. I purposely chose to ignore what the preacher said-- thinking that there was no way he knew anything about this guy, or his intents. I thought I knew him better than anyone there.
The guy turned out to be a liar. His deception cost me alot.
It remains one of many life's lessons that sting.
