What are your spiritual gifts? Where does the Bible talk about the spiritual gifts? Last year I wrote an article on the gifts and wanted to share it with you here for further study. I hope to begin sharing more about the gifts in the next few months. The spiritual gifts are just that – a precious GIFT from God.
The gifts did not cease with Jesus’ ascension or the death of the apostles. They should never be taken for granted or abused. And we don’t “earn” or “deserve” them somehow – they are simply given to us by God’s grace for HIS GLORY. They’re not about us, but are to lift up Jesus Christ and to build God’s Kingdom.
They are a sign to unbelievers and are a powerful weapon against our enemy Satan. He doesn’t want us using our gifts for God. Don’t hold back in fear or intimidation. Find a good, Bible-teaching church whose leadership believes in the spiritual gifts and allows the Body of Christ to use them for God’s glory. There are spiritual gifts’ test online. I recommend the resource The Gifts and Ministries of the Holy Spirit by Lester Sumrall (available at Amazon) and the book Step Out and Take Your Place by Krista Dunk (www.StepOutAndTakeYourPlace.com).
