The Gifts of the Holy Spirit | Power Must Operate in Love

Send us Fan MailWhat are the gifts of the Holy Spirit—and why does God give them?In Episode 3 of our Gifts of the Holy Spirit series, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12 and 13 to study what Paul describes as the manifestations of the Spirit.These gifts are not natural talents, human abilities, or something we can manufacture. They are given by the Holy Spirit according to His will, not for our personal recognition or status, but for the common good and the building up of the Body of Christ.In this episode, we explore the nine manifestation gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12:Revelation Gifts• Word of Wisdom• Word of Knowledge• Discerning of SpiritsPower Gifts• Faith• Gifts of Healings• Working of MiraclesSpeaking Gifts• Prophecy• Different Kinds of Tongues• Interpretation of TonguesWe also talk about the important distinction between natural talents and spiritual gifts, why we cannot manufacture the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, and why no believer should compare their gift or calling with someone else's.But Paul doesn't stop with the gifts. He takes us directly into 1 Corinthians 13—love.You can be incredibly gifted and still be spiritually immature. Gifts without love become noise. The purpose of spiritual gifts is never self-promotion, status, or recognition—it is to love people, serve the Church, glorify Jesus, and advance His Kingdom.And this episode became unexpectedly personal as we looked at Jesus asking Peter:“Do you love Me?”“Feed My sheep.”That is the heart of this message.Desire the gifts—but desire the Gift Giver more.📖 Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 12–14, John 21:15–17, Revelation 19:10, Zechariah 4:6🎙️ Next episode: Q&A with Pastor Johnny Chase as we tackle the controversial and often misunderstood questions surrounding tongues, prophecy, healing, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.💬 Have a question about spiritual gifts?
