Receiving Revelation Knowledge-Part 2 -Podcast 416

Gifts and Manifestations of the Holy Spirit Diligent believers read about the various gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit, given to God's born again people. These gifts are given as the Holy Spirit wills. We are informed about these wonderful administrations in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 4 to 11. These gifts or special abilities of God's grace and the extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit, operate in believers and empower them for God's work. It is God, alone, who gives these gifts to born again Christians. There are those Christians who speak a word of wisdom giving forth an understanding of God's wisdom in a specific situation and there are those who are gifted with the word of knowledge, who foretell the specific details and His desires in a specific situation. Another born again person is given a special gift of faith to believe for miraculous happenings, often in the realm of healing, which is often aligned with the gift of miracles whereby amazing circumstances, occur. There are also those who speak out of the need for change or even foretell future events about to happen. Importantly, there is the gift of discerning of spirits, which is the ability to know the truth of sound biblical teaching as distinct from man-made deceptive beliefs. Finally, there is the most prevalent gift, among believers, of speaking in heavenly or unknown tongues and this can often be accompanied by the gift of the interpretation of heavenly or unknown tongues, in their local language. This is important for the edification of the church. All these gifts are given to believers to profit themselves and other Christians and are distributed to each individual Christian, as determined by the Holy Spirit.
