II. THE NINE (9) GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
A. Wisdom is not just good practical judgment or common sense or a high
degree of knowledge. The wisdom that is of the Spirit is centered on Jesus. It is
concerned with the best way to live. It is God's guidance on how to live as a
Christian. (Mark 10:20, 1Cor 1214, Luke 18:22)
B. Knowledge is not just knowing a lot of things through study or experience.
Knowledge that is of the spirit is the fruit of revelation, founded on faith, and
synthesized by Christian experience. This is more of doctrinal teaching and
ability to speak an understanding of a truth of the mystery of Christ. (Read how
Paul understands the mystery of Christ in Eph 1, Eph 3:23)
C. Faith is not just an intellectual belief in God, but a confident assurance in God
which allows us to move forward without any doubt at all. The charismatic gift
of faith seems to be a special gift of prayer. Praying with a Godgiven
confidence which produces extraordinary results. Its knowing that what one
asks for will be given. (Matt 8:10, Matt 15:22)
D. Healing is the supernatural ability to effect a cure of physical or other human
illness through prayer. It s a variation of miracles but it is more limited because
healing focuses on restoring the physical body back to health. This gift enables
the person to be Gods instrument in bringing about the wellbeing of another,
on one or more level, spiritual, psychological or physical. (Act 5:15, 19:12).
E. Miracles is the supernatural ability to perform miraculous act, acts that are
not the result of any known natural law or agency but are caused by divine
intervention. This enables the person t0 be Gods instrument in either an
instant healing or in some other powerful manifestation of Gods power. (Acts
8:68, 9:3643, 13:812).
F. Prophecy is the gift by which a person is used by God to speak on his behalf.
It is a gift when God manifest to man His own thoughts so that a may be given
for the individual or for a group of individuals, or for the community. (Acts
13:13, 21:1013).
G. Discernment is the gift by which a person can recognize the spirit behind a
particular situation. This enables the person to know the source of an
inspiration or action, whether it came from the Holy Spirit, his own human spirit
or from the evil spirit. (Acts 5:110, 8:2024, 16:1619).
H. Tongues is a gift by which a person is able to utter words or sounds which are
not known or understandable to his human intellect, to deliver Gods message
for the community. (Acts 10:4447, 19:6)
I. Interpretation is a companion to the gift of tongues, when used for prophecy,
and is necessary so that those who hear may understand, and so be
enlightened. It is when a person, after the use of the gift of tongues, gives the
general meaning of what the person has said, or a response to what has been
said. Interpretation can also be used privately in combination with the gift of
prayer tongues. (1Cor 14:5, 13, 27, 28)
