We need to be more diligent in seeking after this great gift of the spirit. It will help us to discern between the spirits of those around us, but more importantly discern the spirits that are about us to tempt us and try us.
George A. Smith, who received his endowment with Parley P. Pratt in December 1843, and who also
was a witness to all the dimensions of Joseph’s teachings on this subject, later said, “There was no point upon which the Prophet Joseph dwelt more than the discerning of Spirits” (“Minutes of Meetings held in Provo City,” 28 November 1869, Church Archives).
