Affirmation:
I know that discernment is a theological virtue and gift that we may all have and can choose to use. I seek to develop greater Christ-centered, Spirit-based discernment and insight. I think about and act confidently on that which I know intuitively is right. Through Christ-centered, Holy Spirit based, spiritual discernment, I can know and be the unique person God designed me to be. I can seek and serve in the invisible presence of the universal Christ, in Jesus Christ, in my spiritual body and in the spiritual body of every person (Ephesians 4:1-7).
