Have you ever noticed that in movies and tv shows, bad guys have the advantage? If it’s a really, really bad guy, he’s way harder to kill than the average Joe. But the really annoying thing is that he seems to know everything the good guy is going to try in order to stop him! We’ve noticed a trend: the uber-bad guy is all-knowing.
If only the good guys had such superpowers! Clearly, the good guys are at a disadvantage. That’s okay, though, because we love to root for an underdog, right?
Wouldn’t it be cool as believers if we had an advantage? Well…(wait for it)…we do – the Holy Spirit gives us a sense of things we would otherwise know nothing about, right when we need to know it.
The more we pay attention to that sense, analyze what it feels like, what it means right then, and what we’re supposed to do as a result, the better we develop discernment. Fact is, we are in a war against bad guys – spiritual battle – and we need to use every weapon we’re given.
