Summary

Jake & Bob are joined by Fr. Timothy Gallagher for a discussion on how discernment and healing go hand in hand. Fr. Tim is the author of the incredible book “The Discernment of Spirits” that teaches us how to utilize St. Ignatius’ rules of discernment. He shares the process of discernment while Jake & Bob combine his knowledge with their expertise on healing. The process of healing and discerning God’s will for us work beautifully together.

Key Points

Discerning what is from the voice of the Holy Spirit and what is from the voice of the evil one.
The rules of St. Ignatius are an invitation to hope.
“The more healing that can happen on both the physical and psychological levels, the harder the enemy’s task becomes.” -Fr. Tim
The first step in discernment is to notice any movements, thoughts or stirrings of the heart. Identify whether it is from the good spirit or the bad spirit and then take the appropriate action. If it is from the good spirit, take it in and be guided by it. If it is from the enemy, reject it.
The discernment process happens repeatedly throughout the healing process. It is continual and helps you know how to move forward.
Our parents/guardians are the first representatives of God to us. We may often hear God’s voice as our parent’s voices which can either be positive or negative. If we believe lies about ourselves from our parents, we need to work through those so that we don’t hear those lies coming from God’s voice in our hearts. We need to invite Jesus’ to speak His truth in our hearts.
In times of desolation, never make a change.
Renouncement prayer is a way to practically renounce lies and accept the opposing truths.
