0:00.0	Welcome to conversations with John and Lisa Bavir, and I am so excited about this topic, John.
0:06.0	We are going to be talking about a crucial, crucial, crucial need right now.
0:11.7	That is the discerning of spirits. Now, we're seeing a lot of suspicious spirits, but we want
0:18.6	you to operate in the discerning of spirits. And you think, what does that
0:23.8	mean? Well, I'm just going to ask you, have you ever been in a situation where maybe you're in a
0:29.2	social setting or maybe you're listening to a message or a podcast? And you're like, something just
0:35.9	feels off. Something just does not feel right and that is when
0:41.9	we need discernment that's when we need to know what what am I sensing is it something with me

1:24.2	that today's episode is going to heighten your ability to discern.
1:29.0	And you think, what is that?
1:30.2	Well, in Greek to discern means the ability to distinguish, differentiate, or judge between
1:38.1	spirits.
1:38.9	So that's saying something that is good or God, something that is evil or bad, because there's a lot of things that we come
1:47.2	across that sound good, but they're not authored by God. You know, I remember when we were first in
1:56.5	ministry, our church was a very large church. And there was... But we weren't the pastors, the church we attended.
2:01.6	No, no, no, the church we attended.
