Spiritual Gift of Counsel

The Spiritual Gift of Counsel or the Art of Listening is the art of the wise.
In the Bible Solomon ask to God a heart that knows how to listen: "At Gibeon the Lord appeared during the night in a dream, and God said: Ask for whatever you want me to give you......So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong......The Lord was pleasant that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him.....I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart. 1 Kings 3: 1-12
Wisdom must be asked. The Art of listening is not prudence. The prudence is related with the faculties of the soul: imagination and fantasy. The spiritual gift of Counsel with the faculties of the spirit: intuition, inspiration, creativity.
The counsel is a spiritual gift, a perfection in religion is related with the Holy Spirit. Practical cases are: King Solomon and the two prostitutes, 1 Kings 3:1, Jesus and the denarius (Luke 20:25)
