Leviticus 21:18 (c) The nose is the organ of discernment. With the nose we may tell whether a substance is spoiled or fresh, whether it is old or new, whether it is alive or dead. If the nose is broken and mashed flat, then this power of discernment is obscured or is absent. So it is in the Christian life. That one who is unable to distinguish between what is from GOD and what is from Satan, what is right in the sight of GOD, and what is unscriptural, what is true and what is false, cannot be a servant of GOD, for he would not know GOD's truth from Satan's deceiving lies.
