Why the Spiritual Gift of Being Quick to Observe Is So Vital Today

Let me now address the question of why the spiritual gift of being quick to observe is so vital for us in the world in which we do now and will yet live. Simply stated, being quick to observe is an antecedent to and is linked with the spiritual gift of discernment. And for you and for me, discernment is a light of protection and direction in a world that grows increasingly dark.

Much like faith precedes the miracle, much like baptism by water comes before the baptism by fire, much like gospel milk should be digested before gospel meat, much like clean hands can lead to a pure heart,…, so being quick to observe is a prerequisite to and a preparation for the gift of discernment. We can only hope to obtain that supernal gift of discernment and its light of protection and direction if we are quick to observe—if we both look and obey.
-David A. Bednar

I love the gift of discernment, I feel like this gift opens us up to all other spiritual gifts. I really like how Elder Bednar talks about being quick to observe, because when we know something is right, we need to be a first responder and act on the thing we feel we are to do. This goes hand in hand with learning to #HearHim and understanding how you hear the spirit. Do you hear something come to your mind? Do you feel it in your heart? Does it just feel right in your gut? Is it just a knowing? When we understand how we receive, and we are in alignment with God, we can move forward with whatever we desire, knowing that because we are in alignment, we are on the Lord’s errand and doing His will because His will will also be your will.

Hi, I’m Amber Sessions. Welcome to Reclaimed Wholeness. This space was born from a sacred wrestle, a time in my life when I was doing all the things I had been taught to do: praying, fasting, seeking priesthood blessings, clinging to faith with everything I had. And I still believe in those things with my whole heart. They work. They matter. They are foundational. But in one particularly heart-wrenching season, I also felt prompted to seek deeper understanding and tools that could support the healing process in ways I hadn’t explored before. That journey opened the door to learning about how the spirit, mind, body, and heart are connected in profound and beautiful ways. Reclaimed Wholeness was created to hold space for those of us who are walking that same path, faithful, seeking, and wondering what else God may be inviting us to discover. Through spiritual intuitive mentoring, I offer a blend of tools like Human Design, Gene Keys, Aura Personalities, and more…but always centered in truth, guided by the Spirit, and grounded in faith. I believe in miracles. I believe in divine timing. And I believe that wholeness is not about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what’s always been true: that you are a child of God with divine purpose, worth, and light. I’m so glad you’re here. Your individual journey is unique and sacred and it’s time to reclaim your true identity and wholeness.
