Spiritual Discernment

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14
"If you remain apart from the holy influences that come from God, how can you discern spiritual things?" Testimonies for the Church vol. 7, p.189 E.G.W.
