Spiritual gifts

The gift of Discernment of Spirits

You sense what is true and what only sounds true. You read rooms, motives and atmospheres accurately.

1 Corinthians 12:10

“To another the ability to distinguish between spirits.”1 Corinthians 12:10

In the church

You protect the flock. You notice the teaching that drifts, the leader who is struggling, the manipulation dressed as ministry.

Outside the church

You know when a deal, a hire or a relationship is off long before the evidence shows up.

In childhood

You were uneasy around certain people and could not explain why. You were usually right.

In adulthood

You learn to test what you sense in prayer and Scripture, and to speak it to the right person instead of everyone.

With others who share it

Compare notes with other discerners and with pastors. Discernment confirmed is discernment usable.

  • Test every impression against Scripture before acting.
  • Take what you sense to prayer first and to gossip never.
  • Serve leadership by telling the truth privately and early.
  • Ask God for love to match your accuracy.
