Paul discerned what the others could not see. Paul speaking here:
Acts 27:10
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. What if you were the only person that perceived or discerned an upcoming event, whether good or bad?
Thank God it never has to be that way, for we who have been born again, have the Holy Spirit residing in our spirit. That’s some of the best news that you will hear today. No, even the disciple has the ability to correctly discern or perceive the voice of the Lord or the light impressions of the spirit. I say light impressions, because while your are exercising yourself to be sensitive the scriptures, he doesn’t have to shout.
Acts 9: 10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
