Draw close to Him. Create a clean atmosphere in your home where God&#8217;s spirit can dwell and is not grieved. And press in to Him, putting Him first in everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As you do these things, your ability to hear God&#8217;s voice will increase, which results in much sharper discernment.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not something that happens overnight. It takes time and it doesn&#8217;t happen by accident. It happens because you pursue it on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>And what&#8217;s even better is that God gives discernment to anyone willing to submit themselves to Him. It&#8217;s not something that&#8217;s only for &#8220;special&#8221; people or people in leadership positions.<\/p>\n<p>So cry out and ask God for discernment and find the knowledge of God.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
