How To Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

Media_httpwwwbrandona_ahfjh

Every believer in Jesus has been granted abilities that are empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are all born with various talents, but spiritual gifts are given to us when we become a Christian. The seeds of those gifts are often evident from birth, but the Holy Spirit empowers believers for ministry in supernatural ways.

In one sense, spiritual gifts are overrated. What I mean is that we often fail to examine the other aspects of how God has shaped us for His purposes. He has also given us passions, talents, a unique personality, and both positive and negative experiences from which to draw. In another sense, spiritual gifts are underrated in the sense that we allow our feelings of personal inadequacy to convince us that we couldn’t possibly be “gifted” even though the Scriptures explicitly state that we are.

Spiritual gifts are by no means a simple subject. There are plenty of beliefs and opinions about the subject. Cessationists believe that certain “sign gifts” (such as speaking in tongues) were for a season of the early church only, and now have ceased. Continuationists believe that all of the gifts named in the Bible continue today. Then there are different evaluations of the various “lists” of gifts named in Scripture.

How to Trust God When Everything Seems Impossible #FaithOverFear

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, these challenges can feel insurmountable. We face situations where the odds are stacked against us, where solutions seem out of reach, and where despair starts to creep in. In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life.

Remembering these instances strengthens our faith and helps us to trust that God will be faithful again. Scripture Reference: "The L...
