The gift of the discerning of spirits
A word of Wisdom
On the gift of the discerning of spirits
... to another discerning of spirits:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 12:10-11 KJV
We know that natural discernment is the finding of faults with men. However, this is not the gift of the discerning of spirits given by the Holy Spirit.
The discerning of spirits is the supernatural (spiritual) ability to discern the type and degree of pride in the spirit of man as well as the presence of demonic spirits in man by the type and degree of pride exhibited or manifested, and,
Thus, be able to determine the motive and motivation behind the spirits.
It is essentially the ability to determine the degree (or lack) of holiness and righteousness relatively to God Himself.
The disciple of Christ cannot hope to receive or manifest this gift from the Holy Spirit, without first having the distinct experience of walking together with the Spirit of Holiness, Himself, over the mountain tops and into the valleys.
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV
