Discernment of spirits

Helps us to determine the spirits that are leading a person away from God, and on the other hand the action of the Holy Spirit leading one towards God.


One acquire the spirit of discernment through:


Prayer

This is the most important means, to ask for the grace. Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given you; search and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks, receives..." (Mt.7:7-11).

"If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith..." (James 1:5)

Discernment is a process that over time gives us clarity about the path we might follow. It is to engage in an inner process of calling on the Holy Spirit to lead or give direction on a matter.

flows naturally from our spirit. There are methods and means that the Spirit of God works through us to help us discern. In all matters, the Spirit is at work nudging us, leading us. We sift and sort what is of God and what is not. Discernment isn't usually a sudden zap from beyond, but something that emerges after prayer, listening to our own inner life. We pay attention to our feelings and questions, our inclinations and ideas.
