Discernment: Let's say you have a jigsaw puzzle. You've strewn it all around a table at home. You have the pieces. Discernment is knowing how to put those pieces together.
Why is it important: Because the bible has given us prophecies that relate to "the end of this system of things" or "the last days." Discernment would have you look around and realize that the prophecies apply to our day.

Discernment is surrendering the analytical mind and all it's emotionality for the "mind of Christ" within you, or you could say the Holy Spirit. This is a long process of letting go of our social conditioning and seeking the truth and purity in all action.
