DISCERNING A DEBATING SPIRIT
Beloved you have walked through a long season of being finely tuned to witness the voices of a debating spirit versus the voices of those who bow low with a teachable, listening heart. Yes those who are really hungry for My truth will pester with questions, earnestly searching for answers, but they do so with a different motive. Yes they sometimes wrestle, but that too is easily discerned.
However those who are sucked into hardhearted debate with opinions, criticism, control, fierce division, cynic and bitter unbelief, they are no longer teachable. They wrestle with men, My truth, and their own bitter spirits, as they release the poison of the tongue.
Wait on Me and let me wash you from the strife of tongues. Bring all that concerns you to Me and I will set you free from the spirit of debate that is circling the world.
Prov 12:19-22 NKJV
The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy. No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil. Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight.
