The spiritual gift of discernment is God’s use of our five physical senses, with information from the Holy Spirit, that helps us know what God is doing and to know good from evil based on God’s truth instead of our own understanding.
Feeling sensations on different parts of the body is a common type of discernment. However, there is no standard location for the discernment information we receive. This is a good thing! That means we must personally inquire of the Lord in order to understand what he is revealing through discernment.
Our “Personal Discernment Notes” handout is a useful way to document what God is showing you.
Keep in mind that discernment must be a constant conversation with God. These notes should only be used as you continually ask the Holy Spirit for understanding regarding what you are discerning.
