Transcripts
spiritual giftings is a topic that I
believe all Christians should know and
understand pay close attention to what
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:1 now
concerning spiritual gifts Brethren I do
not want you to be ignorant In this
passage Paul explains to Christians that
he does not want them to be ignorant
about spiritual giftings so let me
explain to you what they are when
someone has saving faith in Jesus the
Holy Spirit enters that person and that
person becomes the new temple of God as
seen in 1 Corinthians 3:16 and as the
Holy Spirit dwells within a person he
manifests himself by giving Supernatural
giftings or talents to them also known
as spiritual gifts and these gifts are
kind of like proof that God is living
inside of them the reason why he gives
these gifts is found in 1 Corinthians
12: 4 to7 that reads there are different
kinds of spiritual gifts but the same
spirit is the source of them all there
are different kinds of service but we
serve the same Lord God works in
different ways but it is the same God
who does the work in in all of us a
spiritual gift is given to each of us so
we can help each other so Paul explains
that there are different kinds of gifts
but they all originate with the Holy
Spirit and these gifts were given so
that Christians can help each other and
1 Corinthians 13 tells us that spiritual
giftings should be used in love because
without love for one another these
special talents become empty and
worthless so I would also caution on you
being prideful about your gifts because
gifts are given to serve others not to
boast over our own talents so if you're
a Believer and have faith in Jesus you
have the Holy Spirit dwelling within you
and that means you have at least one
spiritual gift and you can be given more
than one please note that you don't get
to choose your gift it's one that God
gives you so it's your job to identify
which ones you have and the way that you
find them is by praying and asking God
what gifts you have and by serving God's
people and feeling which spiritual gift
your heart feels most inclined to do and
before we go over every spiritual gift
please know that in 1 Corinthians CH 12
the church or God's people is likened to
a human body each with its different
parts and in the same way that body
parts have different functions and jobs
to perform for the body each person in
the church has different giftings that
were given for the purpose of uplifting
and building up their brothers and
sisters in Christ and and I do need to
say this the topic of spiritual giftings
is one that is debated in church but in
no way is it a reason to fight or divide
over we can agree to disagree on
spiritual giftings but I would argue
that every Christian should know their
giftings so that they can not only serve
God's people but also so that they can
have a sense of belonging because
they'll know what they were made to do
for God's kingdom that said here is a
complete list of all the spiritual
giftings the GI gift of Prophecy is to
speak forth the mind and heart of God
these words may be to encourage Comfort
challenge or strengthen God's people and
because God is outside of time
possessing this gift may lead to one
having the ability to predict future
events through Visions or dreams
possessors of this gift are able to
Proclaim divine revelation and can
prophetically reveal what is hidden the
gift of Miracles is exactly how it
sounds it is the ability to perform
Supernatural Miracles and miracles can
include changing the weather or other
acts that defy natural laws the gift of
evangelism is the ability to proclaim
the good news of Salvation effectively
so that people respond to the claims of
Christ in conversion having this gift
involves having a burden for the lost an
understanding of scripture and an
ability to provide a clear presentation
of the Gospel the gift of tongues is the
ability to speak in another language
that you don't know one who possesses
this gift sounds fluent and may speak in
an older dialect the words that are
spoken are spoken for personal
edification and Enlightenment and this
is the only gift that is not always for
the edification of the church for more
information read 1 Corinthians chapter
14 The Gift of interpretation of tongues
should be paired with tongues if a
church member speaks in a tongue there
should be a calling for an
interpretation those who possess this
gift are not people who have studied
that language they are people who are
given the translation of that tongue
directly from the Holy Spirit the gift
of healing is the ability to heal
physical ailments to the body I would
also argue though that this could
possibly include the healing of the Soul
why because Jesus didn't just come to
heal the physical ailments of man but to
provide emotional and spiritual comfort
for the weary and downtrodden the gift
of pastoring is to be gifted with the
heart to care for guide guard and
provide for God's flock it involves
having the ability to teach and those
with this gift are concerned with
lifting up the church the gift of teach
ing can overlap with the gift of
pastoring every Pastor must be a teacher
but not every teacher is a pastor those
who have the gift of teaching commit
themselves to God's word and can
communicate the word of God in a way
that's easy for people to understand the
gift of leading is to have the ability
to inspire others to the point of them
Following the Leader willingly those who
question if they have this gift need
only to look behind them to see if
others are following their example and
the direction they give
must be planned through much prayer the
gift of service means to have the
inclination or passion to meet the
physical needs of the church it involves
having a heart to meet the Practical
needs of people the gift of helps is
very similar to The Gift of service the
word helps implies undertaking a task on
behalf of another or to take hold of
someone in order to help to have this
gift focuses on doing a particular task
to help someone else the gift of faith
faith is different from having saving
Faith the gift of faith is Supernatural
faith that is willing to take incredible
Steps of Faith it characterizes itself
in performing unusual Deeds of trust
this person has the capacity to see
something that needs to be done and to
believe God will do it through them even
though it looks impossible the gift of
discerning Spirits is to have the
ability to sense demonic presences or if
a teaching or something is of God the
gift of showing Mercy is different from
having Mercy people who possess this
gift involve them having an extreme
expression of Mercy they feel moved to
comfort help or alleviate the distress
of certain people that most people may
not care for or Overlook it would
involve them showing compassion and
willingness to help the poor sick
troubled and suffering people and this
compassion is shown with cheerfulness
and their service done with gladness the
gift of exhortation is to have the
ability to appeal to someone and to have
the right words to say to an individual
that is hurting these people can
encourage console and comfort in times
of distress the word exhort means to
come alongside to help the gift of
giving is the unusual ability and
willingness to share one's material
Goods with others the one who has the
gift of giving shares his Goods eagerly
and liberally the gift of administ rtion
is the ability to steer and guide with
great powers of organization and vision
they are able to lead and Rule well and
they also possess the ability to
identify the strengths in others and are
able to assign the right people to the
right job the word of knowledge is to
have the ability to possess knowledge
that wouldn't be known unless it was
given by God specifically it is
information about another person or
situation that is given directly by God
that would not have been known otherwise
the word of wisdom is to possess
Supernatural wisdom that is able to
defuse conflict and provide Clarity it
can also involve teaching wisdom that
you yourself did not know prior to God's
revelation when it comes to the gift of
apostleship some may argue that this
gift is no longer in use today because
it was only needed when the church began
the word Apostle means messenger or one
who is sent and for those who believe
that the gift of apostleship is still
active they believe that those with this
gift possess all the necessary skills
needed in order to establish a church or
start new Ministries these individuals
have a passion to plant churches in
unreached places and can lay a proper
foundation for new Believers and future
church leaders okay so here's a list of
all the gifts that were mentioned in the
video and my prayer is that God leads
you to know which ones that you have so
that you and the people around you can
be blessed and once you find your gifts
exercise them and use them regularly for
God's kingdom his glory and his people
and as you use them may you always
remember Jesus loves
[Music]
