Self-test experiment for spiritual discernment

[stanleyg]

Try out my self-test experiment just for the sake of spiritual discernment:

 

Picture in your mind that two commanding officers of opposing armies have their own camp. Each camp has loyalists or traitors. Each commanding officer draws a sword in the sand to divide which soldiers belong to their camp.

 

Experiment:

 

1. Draw a figure of a sword with a vertical and horizontal axis
2. Imagine that each axis extends into infinity
3. Observe that each axis comprise four quadrants
4. (i.e. Top Left & Right vs. Bottom Left & Right)
5. In the Top Right quadrant write the name Jesus
6. In the Top left quadrant wirte the name Satan
7. Next, move to the bottom half of the quadrant
8. Insert words from a hot or cold list that has diametric meaning
9. Avoid placing any word on both the left and right side

 

If you find a word that fits on both sides of the bottom half quadrant, then you have made an error. The latter forces an Either/Or answer

 

Here is the list of hot or cold words to start with. You may modify the list to make it longer or shorter. Create your own spiritual diametrics. It doesn't matter.

 

1. good/evil
2. love/hate
3. right/wrong
4. true/false
5. curse/bless
6. low/high
7. reward/punish
8. conceal/show
9. condemn/forgive
10. lost/save
11. hurt/help
12. death/life
13. carnal/spirit
14. injust/just
15. prosecute/defend
16. borrow/lend
17. bury/resurrect
18. war/peace
19. argue/agree
20. captive/free
21. give/take
22. judge/judge not
23. leaven/unleaven
24. join/divide
25. create/destroy

[4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

 

Amen!
