discerning spirit meaning
Discerning of spirits is a âmanifestationâ of the gift of holy spirit (1 Cor. 12:10 KJV). Some people are by nature very perceptive and discerning, but that is not the âmanifestation of discerning of spirits.â It is not a natural ability. The manifestation of discerning of spirits involves information and power that flows from God or the Lord Jesus to the believer via the gift of holy spirit in that believer. No matter how naturally perceptive a person is, he will not be able to accurately discern the presence of a demon, and will certainly not be able to cast it out.
