The Nine Gifts Of The Holy Spirit

Please note that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are endless...The Spirit is constantly pouring out gifts among us...

Dearest Lord Jesus, please fill me with the Holy Spirit, so that I may walk with you moment to moment, and please grant me the gifts of the Holy Spirit...(First Corinthians 12, 8-10)

The Gift of Wisdom - - The gift of wisdom, (words of wisdom) carries the peace, the will, and the authority of the Lord.

The Gift of Knowledge - - knowing or sensing the needs of others.

The Gift of Faith - - believing that God will be true to His Word no matter how impossible the situation. A gift of great power.

The Gift of Healing- - of the spiritual, psychological, and physical embodiments, when the Lord uses us, He is present among us in power.

The Gift of Miracles - - The visible, tangible, concrete, and divine display of the power of God can be a reality in the life of the believer. They usually occur in response to a prayer of expectant faith, are of value only insofar as they give evidence of the Good News of the Gospel, or insofar as they edify and build up the community of faith in the body of Christ.

The Gift of Prophecy - - speaking out in the Lord's name as we are prompted.

The Gift of Discernment of Spirits- -The ability to distinguish at one moment in time whether the spirit behind a particular person, place, event, action, or situation is "of God" or not.

The Gift of Tongues - - a manner of prayer, and praising God in a foreign language unknown to the speaker or in a flow of indiscernible syllables. (Acts 2: 3-4)

The Gift of Interpretation of Tongues - - being led by the Spirit of God, to sense the meaning of what is being spoken.

These nine gifts, though not exclusive in the charismatic spectrum, are the specific manifestations of the Spirit which mark the renewal among us by a powerful confrontation with the Spirit of God. Their significance is best seen from the perspective of the worshipping community. (Catholic Pentecostals by Kevin and Dorothy Ranaghan)

These gifts are for the benefit of humankind and the greater glory of God. They are meant to be shared with all...
