SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (3): DISCERNING OF SPIRITS
… to another discerning of spirits? …
I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)
These first three gifts of the Spirit we are discussing, the gift of the Word of Wisdom, the gift of the Word of Knowledge and the Discerning of spirits are called the Revelation Gifts because they are gifts that show something. The Discerning of spirits gives supernatural insight into the spirit world. To ‘discern’ means to perceive by seeing or hearing. Therefore, discerning of spirits is the same as seeing or hearing in the realm of spirits. The discerning of spirits actually has a more limited range of operation than the other two revelation gifts, the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. That is because its revelation is limited to a single class of objects — spirits. The revelation that the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge brings is broader and applies to people, places, and things. The discerning of spirits gives us supernatural insight only into the realm of spirits. Remember, the discerning of spirits is seeing or hearing into the spirit world. It also reveals the kind of spirit that is in operation behind a supernatural manifestation.
The gift of discerning of spirits is not discernment. There is nothing in the Bible as the gift of discernment. It is the discerning of spirits. Many times what people call the gift of discernment is really the gift of the word of knowledge in operation. In other words, people know things by the Spirit of Yahweh and call it discernment. But that doesn’t mean it is really discernment. It is actually the word of knowledge in operation. Also, the discerning of spirits is not a kind of spiritual mind reading. And the discerning of spirits is not psychological insight, nor is it mental “penetration”. It is not the power to discern the faults of others or discerning of people. It is called the discerning of spirits and it deals with spirits that exist in the spirit realm, whether they are divine, satanic, or human.
Discerning of Spirits Is Not Simply Discerning of Devils. Let me point out that this gift of discerning of spirits is not just the discerning of devils, nor is it the discerning of just evil spirits. To say that the discerning of spirits has to do only with devils is misleading. This gift has to do with the entire class of spirits, including good spirits, bad spirits, and human spirits. It is supernatural insight into the realm of spirits. The discerning of evil spirits is included, of course, but too many times folks have thought that seeing demons and devils is all this gift encompasses and they have been misled. As you stay in the spirit, maintaining the highest spiritual connection, the Holy Spirit will begin to manifest these gifts through you. You are to desire them but not to struggle to manifest them. Their manifestation is as the Spirit wills. Selah!
REMEMBER: The gift of the discerning of spirits gives supernatural insight into the spirit world.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything occluding your sight into the realm of spirits is cut off now. Your testimony is released today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
