Can you add a little bit more at the end:
The gift of discerning of spirits is a supernatural ability to perceive and distinguish between different kinds of spirits - whether they are from God, the devil, or human. It enables a person to discern the spiritual nature and influence behind a person, situation, or manifestation. In the Book of Acts, we see an example of the gift of discerning of spirits in operation when Peter discerned the spirit of divination in a young girl. Acts 16:16-18 states, "Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, 'These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.' And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 'I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' And he came out that very hour." This demonstrates the gift of discerning of spirits being used to identify the source behind a supernatural manifestation.
