Not every difficult thing in your life is the devil. Not every hardship is your cross to bear. And not every obstacle requires the same response.
Continuing the Tent Talk conversation on the good and handsome warfare, Nancy McCready challenges maturing sons to develop the discernment necessary to recognize what they are actually facing. Drawing from DeVern Fromke’s Ultimate Intention and Scripture, Nancy identifies critical distinctions between the Father’s discipline, reaping what we have sown, genuine spiritual oppression, hindrances to obedience, the fellowship of Christ’s sufferings, and self-made crosses.
Maturity does not automatically blame darkness. Maturity discerns. If it is the Father’s discipline, receive it. If it is a harvest from what you have sown, repent and change what you are sowing. If it is oppression, submit to the Father and resist the enemy. If it is a hindrance, discern His direction and continue in obedience. If it is your cross, take it up freely and follow Christ. And if it is a self-made cross, put it down.
This episode is an invitation to stop boxing the air, refuse spiritual ignorance, and allow the Father to train you as a sharp, skilled, mature son who knows the difference—and knows how to respond.
