Re: Discernment of spirits?

I have a few thoughts on the subject:

We are to walk after the Spirit so we don't fulfill the lusts of the flesh:

Quote:
Galatians 5:19-21 19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God
Jesus balanced His time between withdrawing/separation to pray and ministry:

Quote:
Luke 5:16 16But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
What we focus on is what we become:

Quote:
Proverbs 23:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
So when we spend our time with worldly media, entertainment, music, ect, we are opening ourselves up to the works of the flesh, spiritual wickedness. What is in our hearts will come out of our mouths. We are not going to be in tune with the Spirit. The callings of God are without repentance, but you can end up with a Balaam Spirit, being a false prophet. (Numbers 22)

So, maybe discernment is having an understanding of where people are coming from, what spirits they are subject to because of what they have been entertaining.
