EXCERPT: Discerning of spirits alerts us to the activity of the enemy in Christian settings. In the past generation, we’ve seen a tremendous upsurge in occult activity in the Western world. We need to guard against it making further inroads into the Church. We need to be obedient to the Scriptures and be wise, giving no place to the devil.
