Stealth is defined in the Sage Dictionary as “Avoiding detection by moving carefully”.
1Chronicles21:1 – “And #Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”
Certainly, Satan was not physically visible to king David here; yet he was responsible for David’s actions. He led David and David acted under his stealth leadership.
Also in 1Kings22:20-22, we read: “20And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. 22And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth and do so.”
What followed in the physical is plain to Bible readers – Kings Ahab and Jehoshaphat ended up obeying the lying spirit’s guidance by the mouth of the prophets and went to the battle from which Ahab returned dead.

In Luke9:55, Jesus had to correct the disciples John and James at a point saying to them: “Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of”.
#Discernment helps to detect and identify the manner of spirit or true type of the influence.
