Lucia continues her series on Holy Spirit with a focus on the gifts and talents He gives us and what He expects us to do with those gifts. First Corinthians 12:1 says, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.” The New Living Translation says, “Now, dear brothers and sisters,[a] regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this.”
She will take you through 1 Corinthians 12 and share what Paul says about the nine spiritual gifts which are the word of wisdom; the word of knowledge; faith; healing; working of miracles; prophecy; discerning of spirits; diverse kinds of tongues; and interpretation of tongues. Verse 11 in the Message Bible tells us “All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.”
First Corinthians 12:31 says “we should earnestly desire the greater or best gifts.” Our assignment from God and our responsibility is to discover and recognize our gift, or gifts, and grow in them. You have more power available to you than you realize, and it enables you to walk in victory if you’ll tap into it!
Holy Spirit planted greatness within you before you were born. Your destiny is to discover your spiritual gifts, and not decided what gifts you want. Your job is to enter into His presence, spend time with Him, and discover what His plan is for your life so you can walk in victory every day!
