Who Sent You?

Part of Clarity

Summary

In this message, Pastor Jerry Flowers teaches on the vital need for spiritual clarity and discernment when evaluating offers and arrivals in our lives. Satan does not only operate through obvious assaults, but also through counterfeit agreements and deceptive distractions designed to prevent us from fulfilling our divine calling. By learning to ask 'Who sent you?', believers can distinguish between what God has engineered to build them up and what the enemy has sent to derail their purpose.

Pastor's Points

1.When it is God, it brings you closer to Himself; when it is the enemy, it brings you into isolation.
2.When it is from God, it helps you detox; when it is from the enemy, it helps you be defiled.
3.When it is from God, it helps you fear the Lord; when it is from the enemy, you only fear consequences.
4.When it is from God, it makes you share; when it is from the enemy, it makes you sneak.
5.When it is from God, it aligns with scripture; when it is from the enemy, it aligns with motives.
6.When it is from God, convictions compliment; when it is from the enemy, convictions are challenged.
7.When it is from God, it feeds your spirit; when it is from the enemy, it feeds your flesh.
8.When it is from God, it gives God glory; when it is from the enemy, it gives you false success.

9.The enemy is not just behind spiritual assaults; he is also behind deceptive agreements that trick believers into derailing their destiny.
10.God never gives discernment to empower criticism, but to prompt intercession for others.
11.Hardships and severe spiritual resistance do not mean God is picking on you; they often mean God picked you for a specific purpose.
12.Satanic severity always exposes the enemy's anxiety over how close you are to fulfilling your God-given assignment.

Sermon Moments

“Spiritual clarity will help us stop mistaking Judas's kiss as love—every kiss is not endearment, sometimes it is betrayal.”

“The devil is not just behind assaults; he is also behind agreements.”

“God never gives you discernment to criticize, but rather to intercede.”

“It's not that God is picking on you; it's that God picked you.”

“Satanic severity always exposes the enemy's anxiety.”

“Loneliness is not cured by company; it is exposed by it.”

“Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.”

“You must be able to know something popular from something powerful.”

This Week

Pause and pray before agreeing to new offers, relationships, or commitments, asking 'Who sent you?'
When discernment reveals someone's battle or fault, commit to interceding in prayer for them instead of criticizing.
Evaluate current close relationships to see if they bring you closer to God or lead you into isolation and secrecy.
Examine your motives when making decisions to ensure they align directly with Scripture rather than selfish desires.
Respond to conviction immediately by repenting rather than trying to hide or justify sinful behavior.
Stop viewing personal hardship as God picking on you, and instead recognize it as evidence of God's sovereign calling on your life.
Reject flattering or comfortable teachings that compromise biblical truth in favor of messages that produce true spiritual growth.

Remember This

Before coming into agreement with any new offer or relationship, seek spiritual clarity to discern whether it was engineered by God to fulfill your purpose or by the enemy to derail it.

A Challenge for You

Commit to seeking God's clarity in every decision, praying that He will sharpen your discernment so you can distinguish what He has sent from what He hasn't.
