Boom, John's got discernment.
That's not how it works.
I have to ask him to give me discernment.
I have to say, you promised me that you will give me discernment.
I'm asking you to now give it to me.
That's step two.
And then step three is he will give you what you're asking for if it serves his will.
That's totally up to him.
So for instance, let's say I'm in a really...
bad state of mind and I need peace.
Like I don't have peace.
I'm unsettled.
And I belong to Jesus.
I ask him to give me peace.
Now he's got to give me peace if it serves his will.
Well, if he doesn't give me peace, which has happened, I go, why are you not giving me that?
Because I don't feel peaceful.
Sometimes he wants you to be in this mode.
He wants you to be in that mode because he's got something that's gonna require that element of you to accomplish whatever it is he's trying to get done.
That's fight mode.
