SPIRIT-SENSE “Mediumship, Discernment, and the Voice Within” They say, “Do you hear voices?” And depending on who’s asking, it’s either a spiritual gift or a psychiatric flag. But the deeper question isn’t, “Do you hear?” It’s “Who’s speaking?” “By what spirit?” And through what system?” Because not all guidance is holy. Not all revelation is God. Not all voices in your head are divine. Let’s be clear: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God…” (1 John 4:1) Discernment isn’t optional. It’s the filter between inspiration and infiltration. So let’s name what we’re talking about. 🌀 Mediumship is the act of opening oneself to external, often disembodied spirits with the intention of receiving information. In Scripture, this is called necromancy, divination, sorcery, and it is explicitly forbidden: “Do not turn to mediums or spiritists… for you will be defiled by them.” (Leviticus 19:31) But here's the nuance: not all spiritual communication is mediumship. There is a holy alternative. 🕊️ Divine discernment is what happens when the Holy Spirit bears witness with your spirit in a way that is peaceful, truth-aligned, and coherent. “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” (Romans 8:16) This is not channeling. This is communion. See, the enemy has always mimicked the sacred. Counterfeited the current. Twisted the transmission. So now, those with spiritual sensitivity often don’t know how to tell the difference between a visitation… and a violation. Between revelation… and psychosis. Let’s go deeper. Not just scripturally—but scientifically. Your heart and brain both emit electromagnetic fields that extend beyond your body. This is not mysticism—it’s measurable. HeartMath Institute calls this your heart field. Neurobiology calls this your interoceptive awareness. Scripture calls this discernment of spirits. “The mature… have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” (Hebrews 5:14) Discernment isn’t just spiritual. It’s somatic. Your nervous system is a spiritual interface. A holy filter. It reads the room before your brain interprets it. It knows when something is off before your theology can explain it. But here’s the danger: When that spiritual sensitivity is untrained, unfiltered, or unanchored in truth-- it becomes a magnet for confusion. Psychosis is not always demonic. But it is often a floodgate of unfiltered spiritual information breaking past the borders of safety. That’s why Paul said: “The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.” (1 Corinthians 14:32) In other words-- Real revelation comes with self-governance. If the voice overtakes you, terrorizes you, controls you, it’s not the Spirit of God. Here’s how you know who's speaking: 🕊️ When it’s Divine Discernment-- The voice is still. Peaceful. Anchored. It sounds like your healed self… Not foreign, not frantic, but familiar. The fruit is clarity, not confusion. Love, not fear. Joy, not dread. It doesn’t rush you-- It restores you. You feel directed, not driven. Empowered, not obsessed. And it always aligns with Scripture and Spirit. ⚠️ But when it’s Distorted Mediumship-- The tone is intrusive. Rushed. Disorienting. The voice demands rather than invites. It sounds like panic. Shame. Pressure. Its fruit? Urgency. Exhaustion. Confusion. You’re left feeling more disconnected than grounded. More scattered than still. And it often contradicts truth—even if it’s cloaked in light. If it bypasses peace-- it's not Him. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:15) The word rule here means to umpire. Peace is your referee. Your confirmation. Your discernment. You don’t need to be afraid of your gift. You just need to train your gates. You are a temple. Not a portal. Not a channel. A temple. With doors. And locks. And filters. And Presence. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?” (1 Corinthians 6:19) So if you’re hearing things-- don’t just ask “what.” Ask who. If you're sensing things-- don't just assume it's divine. Ask is it peace? Is it aligned? Does it bear witness with what the Word says and what your nervous system knows? Because God speaks. But so do many spirits. “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14) You weren’t made to be a vessel for every vibration. You were made to house the Holy Spirit-- and to know His voice from every other echo. “My sheep hear My voice. I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) So hear me clearly: You are not broken. You are sensitive—on purpose. But your sensitivity is sacred only when filtered by truth. Train your senses. Tend your temple. Test every spirit. And above all-- follow the peace. Because the Holy Spirit won’t just speak at you. He’ll dwell within you. And that… is the difference between mediumship and divine discernment. GUIDED OR DECEIVED?**Mediumship vs Divine Discernment: A Scriptural and Psychoneurobiological Teaching** 🔥 INTRODUCTION: “Do you hear voices?” It’s a question often asked in psychiatric evaluations—and one that also echoes in spiritual communities. What if the real question is not “Do you hear?”-- but “Who’s speaking?” And even more importantly-- “What system are they speaking through?” This teaching explores the difference between mediumship and divine discernment, not just through scripture, but through the lens of your nervous system, your heart field, and the neurobiological filter God designed for communication between Spirit and body. 📖 SECTION 1: MEDIUMSHIP VS DIVINE MEDIATION🔍 What is Mediumship? Biblically, mediumship involves invoking or channeling external, disembodied spirits, often without consent, clarity, or covenant. It is forbidden in passages like:
✅ What is Divine Mediation?
“The Holy Spirit… will bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26) Where mediumship demands opening, divine mediation invites indwelling. 🧠 SECTION 2: PSYCHOSIS VS PROPHETIC PERCEPTIONPsychosis often includes:
“The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.” (1 Corinthians 14:32) Spiritual insight that overwhelms or overtakes the person, disabling their ability to function or discern, may actually indicate a dysregulated nervous system—not divine guidance. This is where science steps in. 🔬 SECTION 3: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AS PROPHETIC FILTERYour body is a vessel. But more than that—it’s a filter.
“Do not be anxious about anything… and the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds…” (Philippians 4:6–7) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” (Colossians 3:15) The word rule here means to act as an umpire. Peace = discernment. You’re not crazy for “feeling things.” You’re designed to be spiritually attuned—but also spiritually protected. 🧪 SECTION 4: DISCERNING SPIRITS—A BIO-SPIRITUAL PRACTICEScripture tells us to test the spirits (1 John 4:1). But how?  “The mature… have trained themselves to discern…” (Hebrews 5:14) Training = practice. Discernment is not passive—it is embodied sensitivity. 🌬️ SECTION 5: HOW TO CULTIVATE HOLY DISCERNMENT
🕊️ CLOSING REFLECTION You are the temple. And like any sacred place—there are doors, thresholds, and filters. God speaks. But not everything that speaks is God. Discernment is the art of hearing Heaven without letting hell hijack your frequency. ✍🏼 JOURNAL PROMPTS:
🙏 PRAYER OF ALIGNMENT Spirit of Truth, Train my ears to hear only what aligns with You. Let my heart be a tuning fork for Your peace. Guard me from deception. Teach me to discern the difference between divine direction and spiritual distortion. Let the voice within me sound like mine-- because it’s Yours.
