Does the gift of discernment still exist today when dealing with spirits (see 1 Corinthians 12: 10)?
This text is from a transcript of a talk by David Gooding, entitled ‘Unity, Origin and Victory’ (1987).
My answer would be, well I should hope so. We need every help we can get, don't we? And some men have been given by God the power of discernment that all is not well in certain situations. When Satan himself can turn himself into an angel of light, it needs sometimes God-given discernment to detect that 'something is not right here: this is false doctrine actually.' Sometimes it is difficult for people at large to see it is false doctrine and it requires God-given discernment.
