Best Answer

It refers to the gift of discernment. Understanding what is of God and what is from a demonic spirit or just a human spirit. This can relate to any number of actions, manifestations that happen in the pentecostal or charismatic churches, and or any type of Holy Spiritual experience. This gift was referred to in The Bible in both the old and new testaments relating to prophecy primarily. Paul, for instance recognized by the gift of discernment that the girl who was a fortune teller, although she was speaking praise, was in fact trying to discredit his ministry by association. He called out the demonic spirit and cast it out of her, of course making her owners( as it was, she was a slave) upset enough to have him stoned. The gift of discernment rose up in him (manifested a righteous anger) and caused him to rebuke that spirit and to set her free at least spiritually, putting an end to her ability to tell fortunes by that demonic power.
