God gives spiritual gifts to His team to use
2

• There are diversities of gifts, but the same
  Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries,
  but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of
  activities, but it is the same God who works all
  in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is
  given to each one for the profit of all 1 Cor
  124-7 (NKJV)

3

• There are three different groups of gifts.
• A. Manifestation gifts
• B. Serving gifts which are found in Romans and 1
  Peter
• C. Equipping gifts which are found in Ephesians
  411

4

• 1.What does manifestation of the Spirit mean?
• An uncovering a shining forth a clear display

5

• There are nine different ways the Holy Spirit
  reveals His nature through believers to the body
  of Christ
• Why is this important? It is one of the ways we
  come to know the person and work of the Holy
  Spirit.

6

• 2. A description of the Gifts.
• A. Word of Wisdom When God reveals or makes
  known to believers a portion of His own wisdom-
  otherwise unknown to the individual.

7

• Now in those days, when the number of the
  disciples was multiplying, there arose a
  complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists,
  because their widows were neglected in the daily
  distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the
  multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not
  desirable that we should leave the word of God
  and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out
  from among you seven men of good reputation, full
  of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may
  appoint over this business 4 but we will give
  ourselves continually to prayer and to the
  ministry of the word." 5 And the saying pleased
  the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a
  man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and
  Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and
  Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, Acts 61-5
  (NKJV)

8

•  whom they set before the apostles and when they
  had prayed, they laid hands on them. 7 Then the
  word of God spread, and the number of the
  disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a
  great many of the priests were obedient to the
  faith. 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power,
  did great wonders and signs among the people Acts
  66-8 (NKJV)

9

•  Then there arose some from what is called the
  Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians,
  Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia),
  disputing with Stephen. 10 And they were not able
  to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he
  spoke. Acts 69-10 (NKJV)

10

• 2. Word of Knowledge.
• Here God reveals a little of His omniscience,
  otherwise unknown to us.
• In wisdom God helps us to solve problems. In
  Knowledge He helps us to know something.

11

• 3. Discerning of Spirits.
• A God given ability to know if something is of
  God or an evil spirit.

12

• Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a
  certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of
  divination met us, who brought her masters much
  profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed
  Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men
  are the servants of the Most High God, who
  proclaim to us the way of salvation." 18 And this
  she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed,
  turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in
  the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And
  he came out that very hour. Acts 1616-18 (NKJV)

13

• as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these
  are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the
  spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received
  the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba,
  Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with
  our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if
  children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint
  heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,
  that we may also be glorified together. Romans
  814-17 (NKJV)

14

• 4. A supernatural ability to believe God to do
  the extraordinary through us.
• This is not the same as regular faith. It is
  different in form and function.

15

• Notice the four levels of faith
• A. Rational, logical reasoning
• B. Saving faith this is the faith that God gives
  you to come into the kingdom (Eph 28)
• C. The fruit of faith. Galatians 522 speaks of
  faithfulness, the ability to keep on keeping on.

16

• D. The Gift of faith.
• Acts 3 is a great example!
• Daniel 317 and the fiery furnace is a great
  example of where God gave them a supernatural
  faith to believe!

17

• 5. The Gift of Miracles
• A revealing of Gods power operating through the
  Spirit of God flowing through the child of God.

18

• Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant
  prayer was offered to God for him by the church.
  6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that
  night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains
  between two soldiers and the guards before the
  door were keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, an
  angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone
  in the prison and he struck Peter on the side
  and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!" And
  his chains fell off his hands. 8 Then the angel
  said to him, "Gird yourself and tie on your
  sandals" and so he did. And he said to him, "Put
  on your garment and follow me." 9 So he went out
  and followed him, and did not know that what was
  done by the angel was real, but thought he was
  seeing a vision. 10 When they were past the first
  and the second guard posts, they came to the iron
  gate that leads to the city, which opened to them
  of its own accord and they went out and went
  down one street, and immediately the angel
  departed from him Acts 125-10 (NKJV)

19

• Now when they came up out of the water, the
  Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that
  the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his
  way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotes.
  And passing through, he preached in all the
  cities till he came to Caesarea. Acts 839-40
  (NKJV)

20

• 6. The Gift of healing.
•  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
  Spirit and with power, who went about doing good
  and healing all who were oppressed by the devil,
  for God was with Him. Acts 1038 (NKJV)

21

• And He said to them, "Go into all the world and
  preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who
  believes and is baptized will be saved but he
  who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And
  these signs will follow those who believe In My
  name they will cast out demons they will speak
  with new tongues 18 they will take up serpents
  and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no
  means hurt them they will lay hands on the sick,
  and they will recover." Mark 1615-18 (NKJV)

22

• 7. Prophecy. One who speaks forth or on behalf
  of.
• Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my
  mouth, and the Lord said to me "Behold, I have
  put My words in your mouth. Jeer 19 (NKJV)

23

• But he who prophesies speaks edification and
  exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks
  in a tongue edifies himself, but he who
  prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all
  spoke with tongues, but even more that you
  prophesied for he who prophesies is greater than
  he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he
  interprets, that the church may receive
  edification. 1 Cur 143-5 (NKJV)

24

• 8. The gift of tongues. This is the most common
  gift in a service like today.
• 1Cor 1230 do all speak in tongues
• Public expressions of tongues should be
  interpreted.

25

• 9. Interpretation of Tongues. Explains what was
  spoken.
• If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or
  at the most three, each in turn, and let one
  interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let
  him keep silent in church, and let him speak to
  himself and to God. 1 Cur 1427-28 (NKJV)

26

• Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those
  who believe but to unbelievers but prophesying
  is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
  23 Therefore if the whole church comes together
  in one place, and all speak with tongues, and
  there come in those who are uninformed or
  unbelievers, will they not say that you are out
  of your mind? 24 But if all prophesy, and an
  unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he
  is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.
  25 And thus the secrets of his heart are
  revealed and so, falling down on his face, he
  will worship God and report that God is truly
  among you. 1 Cur 1422-25 (NKJV)

27

•  For with stammering lips and another tongue He
  will speak to this people, 12 To whom He said,
  "This is the rest with which You may cause the
  weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"
  Yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the
  Lord was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept
  upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line,
  Here a little, there a little," That they might
  go and fall backward, and be broken And snared
  and caught. 14 Therefore hear the word of the
  Lord, you scornful men, Who rule this people who
  are in Jerusalem, Isaiah 2811-14 (NKJV)

28

• Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise
  prophecies. 21 Test all things hold fast what is
  good. 1 Theses 519-21 (NKJV)

29

• And the spirits of the prophets are subject to
  the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of
  confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of
  the saints. 1 Cor 1432-33 (NKJV)
