STEEMCHURCH: How to improve your spiritual perception.

in steemchurch •  7 years ago 

Greetings and blessings for the family @steemchurch

Philippians 1: 9-10
This is what I ask in prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and in good judgment,
so that they discern what is best, and they are pure and irreproachable for the day of Christ.

As believers we have the ability to perceive things beyond the five normal senses, we have the ability to perceive within our spirits hidden qualities, sources and attitudes about events or individuals, and even the fundamentals and motivations of the circumstances that take place in our lives. The script records events when Jesus received spiritual revelations, as in:

Matthew 16: 8 Upon realizing this, Jesus rebuked them:
Men of little faith, why are they talking about having no bread?

Matthew 22:18 Knowing their evil intentions, Jesus replied:
Hypocrites! Why do I set traps?

Mark 2: 8 At that very moment Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking.
Why do they reason like that? -told them-.

Luke 8:46 No, someone touched me, "Jesus replied; I know that power has come from me.

Luke 9:47 As Jesus knew what they were thinking, he took a child and placed him by his side.

Through the Spirit of God we can obtain spiritual insight into the people and events that surround us. However, ¿how can we develop this sensitivity in our lives?

We have to get away from the way of the world of thought by renewing our minds through constant meditation on the Word of God.

We need to move forward in our relationship with the Lord, to develop the sensitivity and stay of his voice and guidance for our lives.



We must do a very simple but very important thing: take the time to listen. Have you noticed the first time you wake up in the morning, that you often have a few flashes of inspiration or ideas about solutions to problems. These are the spiritual perceptions that have been implanted in your spirit while you were asleep.

God is our source of spiritual perception, He has the answers, the wisdom and the instructions that we are looking for.

In our mind, "spiritual photographs" of what is happening in the middle where we are are happening. The gift is also manifested through dreams. These visions and dreams happen at specific times where there is a connection with the Holy Spirit. The people who move in this gift are those who are directly involved in inner healing, liberation, prophetic intercession, spiritual warfare.



Our ability to SEE Spiritually will dictate what we can put our faith into.


  1. God gives us everything that He gives us through His immeasurable grace. Your plans are defined and your resources are ready. The part of God is already made by grace. Our part must be done by faith. God requires that we use our faith in order to reach His grace.

  2. Where there is no grace, there can be no faith. Faith begins where the will of God is known. To put faith in something we must be able to discern what God has already given us by grace.

  3. Divine revelation is the authorization for our faith. Once God reveals to us what he has already given us (in eternity), we can use our faith to access it (in his time).

  4. If we can not SEE (or discern) what God has given us, we do not know to what to apply our faith.

  5. Faith does not consist of something happening to us and then we ask God to give us the faith to do it. Faith consists in perceiving what is ours and then agreeing with it. Faith consists in discerning, accepting and then procuring the will of God over ours.

None of this is possible if we are not able to SEE Spiritually.

Our ability to SEE Spiritually will have a direct impact on what we can achieve with God and what God is able to accomplish through us.


  1. When we are born again the Spirit of God establishes His residence within us and the Father expects us to learn to be led by the Spirit.

  2. The Father never expects our post-conversion behavior to be equal to our behavior prior to conversion. We are new people and the Father expects us to live in our new reality.

  3. God did not give us His Spirit to continue thinking and living the way we did.

  4. God has given us His Spirit so we could know:
    The plans He made for us since before the creation of the world.
    What you are thinking about daily.
    How to carry out what He is directing us to do.

  5. It will be difficult for us to receive what we can not perceive. We must be able to see anything. We must be able to perceive it to achieve it. The more we can see, the more God can do through us.

The voice of God is felt inside with names, stories, memories, biblical quotations. This voice becomes so clear and precise according to what happens. The information we receive is consistent with what is happening and we know that it is God himself helping us in the task we are developing. But Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts (Luke 9.47). This "perception" is the inner voice of God bringing the information we need. "

The Word of God was infallibly inspired by the Holy Spirit; That same Spirit enlightens the mind of the believer to understand his word with clarity when he prepares to scrutinize it with the intention of applying it to his life.

Statement of Faith: Father, this is a time of refined focus for me. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord. His Spirit has established His residence within me. I was born from above. I am a spiritual person. I am a citizen of heaven who lives on earth. I am an Ambassador of Heaven in this world. I receive my instructions from You. You talk to me daily and throughout the day. I am able to discern Your will and realize it by faith. I can SEE the person you have called me to be. I can SEE what you want me to do. I can SEE how to make it happen. These are not things that I learn, these are things that I discern. I live by my ability to see. I see what You have given me for grace and I procure this by faith! I declare this by faith. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The faith and guidance of the Holy Spirit does not mean that we have no doubts. Obedience includes doubt, but doubt should not exclude obedience. God has given us the mind of Christ and trusts in us that we can discern correctly. Our prayer is that the Lord help us to have spiritual understanding, see what the open doors are and then have faith to go through them (Col 1: 9-11 Open with Logos Bible Software (if available))

I think the most important thing for me here is that you pointed out that we need to move forward in our relationship with the Lord, to develop the sensitivity and stay of his voice and guidance for our lives

Hearing with faith is reserved only for the children of God! The unbelievers can not and do not want to hear with faith. When the Lord confronts us with His Word in a Sunday service, some hear with faith (listen) and others only hear.

The voice of God is felt inside with names, stories, memories, biblical quotations. This voice becomes so clear and precise according to what happens. The information we receive is consistent with what is happening and we know that it is God himself helping us in the task we are developing. Being born again the Spirit of God establishes His residence within us and the Father expects us to learn to be led by the Spirit.

There is a natural perception and there is a spiritual perception. Perception is all about seeing beyond the outward exterior.
It is seeing beyond what one is presented with.
The challenge is to recognize when it is happening. The reasons why it is happening and what we should do about it.
It is a major part of our lives and it should be ,why are we not more open about it. Is it because we don't want it to be questioned or challenged as to its accuracy.
The more we can prove accuracy of our perception and descernment, the more we can exercise it with confidence.

Perception is something we all have, yet it is one of those things we tend not to be too public about. Having something 'and knowing what to do with it 'can be two different matters! Perception is a very important part of life and we should use it in all kinds of situations.

Thank for sharing.

The victorious are always free to do all the things through christ who made everything.
Be always faithful through christ for he will always provide for us when we appreciate his gift.
has always be merciful in In our lives and h has always Ben ready to accept us when we have sinned.
God does not have mercy on those who are wicked hearted and those who don't care about others and do not have pity on those who have sinned against them.
When you accept christ and you are doing his will you life comes with courage and agility .
You never mind what people who don't. Want you are saying at you back put your heart and trust in him and believe you can do it all

Having spiritual perception is great thing to us.
It makes serving God and living on earth a lot easier. This spiritual perception can only flourish when we have the belief of it, and go very close to God in fellowship.

Wonderful to know that As believers we have the ability to perceive things beyond the five normal senses, we have the ability to perceive within our spirits hidden qualities, sources and attitudes about events or individuals, and even the fundamentals and motivations of the circumstances that take place in our lives.

Spending Quality time with the Holy spirit, read the Word of God
Through the Spirit of God we can obtain spiritual insight into the people and events that surround us.
Thanks for this Post @elgringo79

I think the most essential thing for me here is that you indicated out that we require push ahead in our association with the Lord, to build up the affectability and remain of his voice and direction for our lives

The only way we can remove the perception of the Holy Spirit is by faith, and how can this faith be achieved. Is only possible if we get closer to him in prayers and also read the Bible.

@elgringo79 nice post: Our ability to SEE Spiritually will dictate what we can put our faith into. the more spiritual we get the more stronger our faith. Thanks

Hearing with confidence is held just for the offspring of God! The unbelievers can not and don't have any desire to hear with confidence. At the point when the Lord goes up against us with His Word in a Sunday benefit, some hear with confidence (tune in) and others just hear.

Just like a radio has to tuned to the right frequency for it to work effectively without noise, so is our spirit, it has to fine tuned correctly to the spirit frequency away from all the negativity and slander, so that we can hear undiluted word of God, basically what this means is to hear from God, you have to shut out the world.

Listening and listening, very different things, it is not enough just to go to church on a Sunday in order to believe in fulfilling a moral and social need, but if it is already due to spiritual and individual need, the grace of God will surely touch our lives.

Tuning in and tuning in, altogether different things, it isn't sufficient just to go to chapel on a Sunday with a specific end goal to have faith in satisfying a good and social need, however in the event that it is as of now because of profound and individual need, the finesse of God will unquestionably touch our lives.

Having profound observation is awesome thing to us.

It makes serving God and living on earth a great deal simpler. This profound observation can just prosper when we have its conviction, and go near God in partnership.

The confidence and direction of the Holy Spirit does not imply that we have no questions. Compliance incorporates question, however uncertainty ought not reject acquiescence. God has given us the brain of Christ and trusts in us that we can perceive accurately. Our petition is that the Lord enable us to have otherworldly understanding, to perceive what the open entryways
