Know Your Tools Part 4: The Gifts of the Spirit
We are given a toolbox from Jesus Christ when we are reconciled to God and join the family of God.
This happens at the point of making Jesus Christ our Lord and Savor.
This includes many items.
It is important learn how and when to use them.
Salvation does not equal proficiency with these spiritual tools.
These tools are divided into three categories.
The Armor of God
Belt of Truth
Breastplate of Righteousness
Shoes of the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace
Shield of Faith
Helmet of Salvation
Sword of the Spirit = Word of God
The Fruits of the Spirit
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-Control
The Gifts of the Spirit.
We will put these all together at the end of this series for developing a divine nature.
Up to this point, ideally, our toolboxes should look exactly the same.
Now they start to diverge into different looking toolboxes.
Does this mean God likes someone more than another?
No, definitely not.
I have seen in the church where we associate spiritual astuteness with gifts.
We evaluate incorrectly.
We only see on the surface and not the full picture.
We see the result, but not the journey.
While we begin to unpack the gift of the Spirit, we have to remember that without love, we can have multiple gifts, but with out love, it is pointless.
Not just any love, but agape love.
The Gifts of the Spirit are:
Word of Wisdom
discretion; insight, specialized knowledge
The ability to make wise decisions.
The ability to problem solve.
Word of Knowledge
esoteric knowledge or knowledge divinely given
Faith
Gifts of Healing
Does this mean on certain people can experience healing?
No.
Some people have a direct gift of healing.
Working of Miracles
Prophecy
Discerning of Spirits
Divers Kinds of Tongues
Interpretation of Tongues
Conclusion:
It is God’s will for us to live an overcoming life.
A life full of freedom from sin and fulfillment in the riches of God’s mercy and grace.
We are meant to have a powerful mind and a servants heart just like Jesus.
These things are not natural.
You were not born with them.
These come from utilizing the tools we have been given.
Maybe you have not used the tools correctly or not at all.
Maybe you have not made Jesus your Lord and Saviour so these have not been a part of your life.
Great news.
Today is your day.
Jesus has already done the hard part and He makes it as easy as knowing your A, B, C’s.
A - Acknowledge
B - Believe
Acts 16:31 (ESV)
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
C - Confess
