Instructor: Ezekiel Kitajima, Pastor
As stated in 1 Corinthians 12:10, “the discernment of spirits” is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Some within the church have this gift as part of the church’s function, though it may not yet be recognized or used.
In the end times, deception will increase, and the Lord repeatedly commands us to discern. This makes discernment increasingly vital for fulfilling God’s will.
