Discernment and Wisdom in the Holy Ghost

KATHY GABLER—In Acts 13:9,  Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked him straight in the eye and said, “You are full of every form of deception and trickery, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! You will never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord, will you? But now you’ve come up against God himself, and your game is up. You’re about to go blind–no sunlight for you for a good long stretch. . . and he was plunged immediately into a shadowy mist and stumbled around, begging people to lead him by the hand.”  In our world right now with so many enemies of all that is right, blindness might sound like an effectual weapon to keep on hand!  However, we have to back up to the first line in this verse where it says Paul was filled with the Holy Spirit.  DISCERNMENT and WISDOM in the HOLY GHOST will authorize our weapons and our  assignments,  and at the same time keep us from taking on assignments that are NOT from God.
