Blog February 24, 2023 Find the Gifts of the Spirit 

We can earnestly desire all the gifts but Holy Spirit is the one who pass them out. If we see some one moving in a gift we can ask for an impartation. And them many times the Holy Spirit will agree and give them. If someone does not flow yet it is not the end of the world. They may come later.

1 Corinthians 12: 27 – 31 New King James Version (NKJV)

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracle, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

Questions you might entertain discussion on:

1. Do you have a gift of the Holy Spirit?
2. Which gift do you earnestly pray to flow in?
3. Have you seen the gifts in someone else?

Note: it is good to read a few versions of the bible verse to help clarify the mean

1 Corinthians 12 27 – 31 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

27 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].

28 So God has appointed some in the church [[f]for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.

29 Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles?

30 Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

31 But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].
