Let's talk Gifts.
The word says this...
1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1 Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
So the list turns out to be...
Word of Wisdom
Word of Knowledge
Faith
Healing
Working of Miracles
Prophecy
Discerning of Spirits
Divers Tongues
Interpretation of Tongues
I would like to hear any thoughts on how some of these gifts operate.
For instance... what is a Word of Wisdom? How does it differ from a Word of Knowledge?
How is the gift of Faith different from the amount of faith we are all given?
What are your thoughts on Discerning of Spirits?
etc.
I am teaching on the gifts Sunday in my Sunday School class and we are going to pray that ALL the gifts work in our local assembly. But I need to have an understanding of some of these gifts.
Your input will be appreciated.
