Spiritual

"8 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another he gives the gift of special knowledge. 9 The Spirit gives special faith to another, and to someone else he gives the power to heal the sick. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and to another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to know whether it is really the Spirit of God or another spirit that is speaking. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages,* and another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Holy Spirit who distributes these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have."- 1 Corinthians 12

1 Corinthians 12 New International Version (NIV)Concerning Spiritual Giftshttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+12Unity and Diversity in the Body12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.Voltron Opener http://youtu.be/1uS5b8aQ6z8Good News Ministryhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/313230752154108/andhttp://teachings.goodnewseverybody.com/gifts.html

Motivational Gifts

"6 God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out when you have faith that God is speaking through you. 7 If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, do it! If you have money, share it generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."- Romans 12:6-8

  • Overview of Spiritual Gifts, from Young Ladies Christian Fellowship

  • "“A spiritual gift, quite simply, is a God-given ability for service,” said Dr. Charles C. Ryrie. In Dr. Paul Nyquist’s conference on spiritual gifts, he showed that every Christian has at least one spiritual gift (1 Peter 4:10; 1 Cor. 12:11). The gifts are given to build up the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:7; Eph. 4:12), and the purpose of these gifts is the edification of others, with a context of unity and love as the controlling attitude (1 Cor. 13).
    W e get basically all of our knowledge on spiritual gifts from the following passages: Romans 12, 1 Peter 4, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4. But it is difficult to give a Biblical example of someone who possessed a specific gift because such is not stated directly in Scripture. Sometimes personality types can be assumed, but spiritual gifts are much different. Supernatural giftings are different from personality types, and are much less easily identified...
