Scripture declares, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant" (1 Corinthians 12:1). These nine supernatural abilities are:

• Word of Wisdom
• Word of Knowledge
• Faith
• Gifts of Healing
• Working of Miracles
• Prophecy
• Discerning of Spirits
• Different Kinds of Tongues
• Interpretation of Tongues

The Greek word χάρισμα (charisma) translated as "gift" means a divine gratuity or endowment. These gifts are freely available to every believer baptized with the Holy Spirit.

As a young boy, I had a life-changing encounter while exploring our old family Bible. Turning its worn pages, I discovered 1 Corinthians 12 — a chapter that would forever transform my understanding of God's presence.

There, among the familiar Bible stories I knew so well, I found myself reading about extraordinary spiritual gifts: supernatural healing, the working of miracles, the ability to see into the spiritual realm, prophetic words, and people speaking in languages they'd never learned.

My young mind raced with excitement and wonder. These weren't just ancient historical accounts; they were promises of God's power for today. Little did I know then that I would not only read about these gifts but personally experience the supernatural abilities described in those inspired pages. Now, I'm privileged to share these transformative truths with you.

Divine Purposes: How Each Gift Serves the Kingdom

"The manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all" (1 Corinthians 12:7). Each gift serves a specific Kingdom purpose:

• Prophecy, Tongues, and Interpretation of Tongues reveal God's Words
• Words of Wisdom and Knowledge display His revelation and omniscience
• Discerning of Spirits Unveils spiritual realities
• Faith, Miracles, and Gifts of Healing manifest His presence

Each Spirit-given gift channels God's love and power, enabling us to help build up the Body of Christ and minister effectively. Through these gifts, we bring healing, hope, and divine insight to a world in need. They demonstrate God's desire to redeem and restore, inviting all believers to actively participate in this ministry of redemption.

Experiencing God's Power Through Spiritual Gifts

Many today seek authentic spiritual experiences beyond traditional Church services. These gifts complement our faith journey, offering dynamic demonstrations of God's supernatural presence that lead to genuine, life-changing encounters.

The Apostle Paul says, "My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:4–5).

When ordinary believers exercise these gifts, extraordinary things happen. As Jesus' followers in the Book of Acts changed their world through supernatural demonstrations, you too can impact lives through these spiritual gifts.

Activating These Powerful Gifts in Your Life

Jesus promised, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you" (Acts 1:8). Through these gifts, as a believer you can:

• Experience intimate partnership with the Holy Spirit
• Minister God's healing and revelation to others
• See lives transformed through divine encounters
• Take your part in building up the Body of Christ
• Fulfill your role in advancing God's Kingdom

Practical Steps to Operating in the Gifts

To grow in operating these gifts of the Spirit:

• Deepen your relationship with Jesus
• Stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading
• Step out in faith when prompted by the Spirit
• Learn from both successes and failures
• Maintain a humble, teachable spirit

Seeing the Gifts in Real-Life Action

Jesus demonstrated these gifts throughout His ministry and empowered His followers to do the same. He promised, "MOST ASSUREDLY, I say to YOU, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12, emphasis added).

Would you like to see the gifts of the Spirit flowing through your life? You too can walk in these supernatural abilities and reveal God's Kingdom to a hurting world.

Walking Daily in Supernatural Power

Paul writes, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:3–4).

These gifts serve as spiritual weapons for Kingdom advancement. They enable us to carry out or commission to destroy the works of the devil and advance the Kingdom of God (Romans 8:18–25).

As we step out in faith and exercise these special abilities, we discover our true spiritual identity in Christ and experience a foretaste of the powers of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5).

Resources for Growing in the Gifts

We receive empowerment for our Kingdom journey through the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, which equips us with the special abilities we'll need to complete our calling.
