Discernment in itself is not a gift, the gift is the discerning of spirits,
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;...
Anyone who operates in the discerning of spirits is able to distinguish between demonic spirits,Angelic beings,even know the kind of mantle someone may be operating and also distiguish between different kinds of anointings.
Discerment on the other hand is the responsibility of every believer. You are responsible for the level of discernment you are walking in now.It is a must for every believer to discern through situations, the job you should take if there are many options, the kind of woman you should marry etc.
You will walk in a strong discernment if you sharpen your spiritual senses by the word of God and by prayer.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The word of God itself has discerning ability.Therefore the more of the word of God that in in you the shaper your discernment.Get the word in you, use it and exercise your spiritual senses and your discerment will be sharper and you will know your way through every situation.Amen
