1 | Gifts of the Spirit | 1 Corinthians | artoflove | 64386 | ||
I am being drawn into a seasons where I'm thirsting after the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want to know and understand as much as I possibly can. The odd thing is that I don't recognize any of the Spirits gifts per se in my own life. i have been saved for 11 years and i know God is with me, as He speaks with me via His word and has been such a source of life and strength. I wait for the day I will speak in tongues or have a gift that is recognizable to build myself and others up. I'd like to hear know learn anything at all about other born-again, bible-believing christians' experiences / understanding of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. In Christ, AOL |

I have taken a course put out by the Willow Creek Association, titled NETWORK. It goes through the various spiritual gifts and matches them with your passions (things you love to do on a daily basis)and your personality type (example: people or task oriented). From reading your question, you seem to be limiting yourself to only the outward signs of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues. I feel that His role is greater than that and that God gifts everyone with Spiritual gifts to be used to further His kingdom. Sometimes underestimated are gifts of service, mercy and helps. Higher profile gifts are teaching, evangelism and prophesy. As Paul reminds us in I Cor 12:12-31, one can not go without the other. Some are eyes, others ears, hands and feet. The beauty is when all the parts of the body of Christ are working together. He has definitely gifted you spiritually and in a more tangible way physically. The beauty is when you combine the things you are passionate about with a tangible spiritual gift. I truely found the Network class to help me and affirm me in my own spiritual gifts and help me to truely appreciate the many gifts that God has given to others. Hope this helps. TEALEAD |
