This gift of discernment is for every believer and is necessary for everyday living that we
would not be blown about by every wind of doctrine, that we would know when our enemy
is trying to deceive us.
That as we minister the kingdom to others we are more effective because we are able to
discern and deal the root cause of any issue rather than just try to ease the symptom.
Paul when writing concerning spiritual gifts encouraged us to desire the best gift, he was not
setting up one gift as more important than another, he was saying what’s the most
appropriate gift for the situation that will deal with the root cause bring truth, healing, Freedom and deliverance.
Questions
1. In what ways can we test the spirits as described in 2 Timothy 2 v 15
2. Paul writing to the Ephesians “Our fight is with the unseen realm” how do we recognise these attacks and how do we resist them?
3. Is discernment only to be used when praying for some one? At what other times do we need to be able to the gift of discernment?
4. Paul encourages us to desire the best gifts? How are we to know what the best gifts are?
