SPIRITUAL GIFTS The gifts of the Spirit are not
trophies, talents, traits or toys. The gifts of
the Spirit are Gods supernatural expressions of
love, caring, kindness, healing and
concernbestowed on us and through us. John

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me
will do what I have been doing. He will do even
greater things than these, because I am going to
the Father. John 1412

There are different kinds of gifts, but the
same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of
service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different
kinds of working, but the same God works all of
them in all men. 7 Now to each one the
manifestation of the Spirit is given for the
common good. 1 Corinthians 124-7
5

Each one should use whatever gift he has received
to serve others, faithfully administering Gods
grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks,
he should do it as one speaking the very words of
God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the
strength God provides, so that in all things God
may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be
the glory and the power forever and ever.
Amen. 1 Peter 410-11

While some people are used by the Lord
consistently in certain ways, we also believe the
Lord is sovereign over the gifts and may supply
different gifts on different occasions. Rich
Nathan

To one there is given through the Spirit the
message of wisdom, to another the message of
knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to
another faith by the same Spirit, to another
gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to
another miraculous powers, to another prophecy,
to another distinguishing between spirits, to
another speaking in different kinds of tongues,
and to still another the interpretation of
tongues.   11 All these are the work of one and
the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one,
just as he determines. 1 Corinthians 128-11
