The gift of “distinguishing between spirits” is having the gift of
discernment. It is able to discern scriptures and their application to
believers in the church. It is also being able to tell whether someone is
earnest and sincere, or they appear to have an agenda. Peter displayed this in
Acts chapter five when Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece
of property and kept back part of the money and brought the rest and put it at
the apostles’ feet but lied saying they had given it all to the church (Acts
5:1-10). Those with this gift of discernment or “distinguishing between
spirits” may be able to know whether the church should or should not do
particular things.
