Christian leaders are called not only to shepherd the flock but also to guard against deception and guide God’s people into truth. Among the spiritual gifts God gives, one of the most vital for leaders in today’s world is the gift of discernment of spirits. This gift is not about suspicion, criticism, or personal preferences, it is a supernatural ability given by the Holy Spirit to perceive the true source behind spiritual activity, words, actions, or manifestations.  In this era, we need to sharpen this gift to protect the flock with wisdom and confidence.
