Send us a textHave you ever wondered why some churches focus obsessively on spiritual gifts while others barely acknowledge their existence? In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into what spiritual gifts truly are and how they function within God's family.The conversation begins with a powerful insight from 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul states, "Now, concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant." Yet ignorance about spiritual gifts remains widespread in the church today. We explore how God desires to speak not only to us but through us, using our unique gifts as His chosen vessels for communication.One of the most profound revelations discussed is the test for determining whether something is truly from the Holy Spirit: Does it glorify Jesus? The Holy Spirit always points to Jesus, never drawing attention to Himself or elevating human vessels. When we see gatherings excessively focused on the Spirit rather than Jesus, something has gone amiss. As Jesus Himself said, "When the Helper comes... He will testify of Me."We unpack the nature of spiritual gifts as freely given expressions of grace that cannot be earned through education, good behavior, or spiritual practices. Every believer has received at least one gift, thoughtfully chosen by Jesus Himself for their specific contribution to His kingdom. The only limitation to how powerfully God can work through your gifts is how much of your heart remains unsurrendered.The episode categorizes gifts into three types: miraculous gifts (tongues, healing), enabling gifts (wisdom, knowledge, discernment), and team gifts (teaching, mercy, giving, administration). Each serves a vital function in God's family, with no gift being more important than another.Ready to discover your unique spiritual design?
