Welcome Back! I am your host Dawn Simmons and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are beginning our discussion on the 9 Spiritual Gifts of the Holy Spirit. With this episode, we are going to lay the groundwork for the 9 spiritual gifts as a whole. We will discuss if these gifts are real and whether or not each these gifts are available for us today.
Top Show Points:
· Discussed the 9 Gifts of the Spirit
· 1 Cor 12:1-11
· To summarize what Paul shared, the 9 Spiritual Gifts are: wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, healings, miraculous powers, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, interpretation of tongues.
o Gifts we use out of the Power we have from the Holy Spirit are: faith, healings, miraculous powers
o Gifts we have where the Holy Spirit uses us in Revelation are: wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits
o Gifts where the Holy Spirit uses us and are Spoken are: prophecy, tongues, interpretation of tongues
· When we are speaking of gifts, we are speaking of an action or a behavior that produces an outcome as a result of the Holy Spirit’s supernatural activity provided to us in a gift.
· We have lost our understanding of God and the power of the Holy Spirit
· Church leadership has turned their back on God for centuries. You cannot expect modern Christians to know what most preachers not only won’t preach but outright deny exists. The denial belief has been perpetuated and grown for centuries.
· If you listen to any believer that says the gifts are not for today, you will also see someone who does not have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, that is not guided by the Holy Spirit, that does not engage with the Holy Spirit, nor is he or she a person who hears what the Holy Spirit has to say to them.
· Those who say the gifts are not for today will say anyone functioning in the gifts is a heretic or making it up or has a mental health issue. They believe we don’t need the gifts today. The Bible does not negate the Holy Spirit. The Bible testifies to the Holy Spirit and the Bible testifies to the giving of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
· We discussed cessationists who believe: the "sign gifts" (such as prophecy) described in the Bible were temporarily granted to the apostles to authenticate the origin and truth of the scriptures, and these gifts had served their purpose and ceased.
· Cessasionists are spreading false doctrine. One of the most well known cessationists is John MacArthur.
· Ask for the gifts.
· One comment I hear is this “if the Holy Spirit wants me to have gifts, He’ll give them to me” Answer: no He won’t. The Holy Spirit is not going to give you a gift you don’t want and that you won’t bother to invest the time with Him to be developed in the use of the gift.
· If you want a gift, you not only have to ask for it, you may have to wait for it.
· We have to look at these gifts from the perspective that the gift is about the gift giver, not the one who has the gift. If we lose focus and make it about the one who has the gift, that house will fall.
