Awakened to Deliver – The Gifts of the Spirit: FoundationsDay 1: What Are the Gifts of the Spirit?Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:1 (NASB 2020)“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware.”⸻Episode Highlights• The Gifts of the Spirit are not optional—they’re essential for a Spirit-empowered life.• Many believers are unaware of the gifts or believe they’ve ceased. Scripture tells us otherwise.• These are supernatural manifestations, not personality traits or talents.• 1 Corinthians 12 lists nine gifts: word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues.• They are given by the same Spirit for the common good and the strengthening of the Church.• Abuse or misuse of the gifts doesn’t disqualify their purpose—we must pursue the real with humility and discernment.• The modern Church often neglects spiritual gifts in favor of programs and performance. God is calling us back to power and purity.• Gifts must be stirred, fanned into flame, and used with love at the center. Without love, gifts become empty noise.• Maturity is measured by the fruit of the Spirit—ministry is empowered by the gifts of the Spirit.• The gifts are God’s way of confirming the Gospel through signs, wonders, and transformation.⸻Scriptures to Reflect On• 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 – The Spirit gives diverse gifts for the common good.• 2 Timothy 1:6 – Stir up the gift of God within you.• Hebrews 2:4 – God confirms His word through spiritual gifts.• Galatians 5:22–23 – The fruit of the Spirit shows maturity.• 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 – Gifts without love are nothing.⸻Takeaway ThoughtThe gifts of the Spirit are for every believer.
