"ministries of discernment"

If a move of God were to happen in your midst would you notice or would you write it off as emotionalism or even worse a work of the enemy, sadly this has happened on many occasions and seems to be happening again today. In the the church today we have an abundance of so called "ministries of discernment" these seem to have a purpose of pulling down and criticising in front of the world what they see as false of heretical. I have even heard men preaching in the street against ministries they disagree with! I thought we were called to preach the gospel. The sad fact is that many of these self appointed inquisitors have not personally been to the meetings they are condemning, from comments that have been made they certainly have never read the history of Revival through the centuries, if they had they would keep their mouths shut, they would realise that manifestations like jerking of the body laughter prostrations and other strange phenomena are quite common in revival. The most important aspect of any move of God is the salvation of souls again we are seeing this along with healing and deliverance. Another point is if you have something against your brother should you not go to him personally with your problem and confront him face to face not by gossip about or slander him, I recently heard a preacher who said something I believed was clearly wrong on the light of Gods Word so I challenged him on it he recognized he was in error and that was that. I have a word of advice for the discerner's of deception close your ministries and your web sites, get on your knees before the LORD and ask for revival real revival, then get out and preach the gospel to a lost and dying world believe me you will see more benefit from this than from your bitter tirades against men, fallible fallen men doing the work of God.Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel!
