Spiritual Gift - Discernment
Earthly ExampleSome people can just sense when something isn't right. They know what a bad deal is going down or if someone is lying. A lot of times a judge in court will be able to see right through someone. Sometimes certain people can tell if a salesman is lying about a product. Sometimes a teacher can tell when someone is lying about something.

Spiritual ExplanationSpiritually, the gift of discernment is all about being able to tell if something is from God, from man, or from the enemy (the devil or his spirits). Sometimes God will tell you when something just doesn't feel right about something someone is saying or something you read. Pray for discernment and for God to show you the truth. No matter if you have this gift or not, the closer you are to God, the more easily you will be able to hear His voice.
