Understanding & Using Your Spiritual Gifts

Pastor Ben Kellert - Sunday, July 28th, 2024

 

Hebrews 10:25  "And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."

  • Together we stand
  • Together we conquer
  • Together we'll stand in His presence - What a Day that will Be!

Each one of us has at least one or more spiritual gifts-

  • don't ignore or suppress your gifts
  • allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through you - to magnify your gifts!

 

How to Discern the Word from the Lord:

1. Does the Word you received line up with the written word (the Bible)?  

  • God won't speak a word that contradicts the written word!

2. Does it witness to your Spirit?

  • Does it cause peace or confusion (God is not the author of confusion!)

3.  A True prophetic word will lead us towards God and build us up

  • it will never cause us to sin or compromise
  • should draw us closer to the Lord
  • should build our faith

4.  Realize divine timing with the word

  • some words are for right now and others will be for a future time

5.  Many prophecies are conditional...if/then... "if you do this...then you will get that..."

  •  "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV 

6.  Hold fast to the prophetic words you have received

  • hold on to His promises!
  • fight the good fight of faith!

 

The Gift of Prophecy...

  • If you have the gift of prophecy:  Allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you!  
  • He will give you a word that someone needs to hear. (Share it!) The Spirit needs to move freely.
  • God is moving by His Spirit - let Him out of the box!

The Gift of Healing...

  • People are praying for healing - don't be afraid to pray for and over them!

The world needs us to be who we we've been called to be!

Don't be afraid to use your gifts!  We need an encounter with God & the Holy Spirit.
