WORD OF WISDOM: Promised - Ecclesiastes 2:26; Daniel 2:21; Luke 21:15; James 1:5. This is supernatural revelation, or insight into the divine will and purpose, showing how to solve any problem that may arise, (1 Kings 3:16-28; Matthew 2:20; Luke 22:10-12; John 2:22-24; John 4:16-19; Acts 27:21-25; 1 Corinthians 5). WORD OF KNOWLEDGE: Matthew 1:19-20; Acts 13:9-10; Acts 8:21-23. This is supernatural revelation of divine knowledge, or insight in the divine mind, will, or plan; and also the plans for others that man could not know of himself. (Genesis 1:1-2; 2:19-20; 1 Samuel 3:7-15; 2 Kings 6:8-12; Acts 9:11-12; Matthew 16:16; John 1:1-3; Acts 5:3-4; Acts 21:11; Ephesians 3). FAITH: Matthew 7:7-11; Matthew 6:25; Luke 11:5; Acts 18:1 (Paul had faith to withstand the deadly bite of a viper, Acts 28:1-5). This is the supernatural ability to believe God without human doubt, unbelief, and reasoning. (Romans 4:16-17; James 1:5-8; Matthew 17:20; Matthew 21:22; Mark 9:23; Mark 11:22, Mark 11:24; Hebrews 11:6; Hebrews 12:1-3; John 1:12). GIFTS OF HEALING: Matthew 10:1; Mark 3:15 Healing by the Church - James 5:14-15. Healing done by Peter - Acts 3:6-7; Acts 5:12-15; Acts 9:34. Healing done by Paul - Acts 28:8; Acts 19:11; Acts 14:10; Acts 19:12; Acts 20:78. Healing and Deliverance - Acts 8:7. This is the supernatural power to heal all manner of sickness without human aid or medicine (Mark 16:18; John 14:12; 1 Corinthians 12:9). GOD HEALS!!! No man can heal. God uses three ways to heal the sick. He can use them together or individually.
WORKING OF MIRACLES: Special miracles by Paul. Acts 14:3; Acts 19:11. This is the supernatural power to intervene in the ordinary course of nature and to counteract natural laws, if necessary. Hebrews 2:3-4; Psalms 107; Exodus 7:10-14, Exodus 7:21; 2 Kings 4:1-44; 2 Kings 6:1-7; Matthew 17:20; Mark 9:23; Mark 11:22-24; John 14:12. PROPHECY: This is supernatural utterance in the native tongue, (1 Corinthians 14:3). It is a miracle of divine utterance, not conceived by human thought or reasoning. (Acts 3:21; Acts 11:28; Acts 13:9-11; Acts 21:11; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Corinthians 14:23-32). It includes speaking unto men to edification, exhortation and comfort. (1 Corinthians 14:3). DISCERNING OF SPIRITS: This is supernatural revelation, or insight into the realm of spirits to detect them and their plans and to read the thoughts of men, (not to be confused with E.S.P.). Acts 15:5-10; Acts 16:16-18; 1Timothy 4:1-4; 1 John 4:1-6; Matthew 9:4; Matthew 10:1; Luke 13:16; John 2:25; Acts 13:9-10. DIVERS KINDS OF TONGUES: Tongues are spoken to God, Prophecy is spoken to men. Praying in tongues (The Holy Ghost) builds faith. Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18; Romans 8:26. This is supernatural utterance in other languages which are not known to the speaker, (Isaiah 28:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:10; 1 Corinthians 14:2, 1 Corinthians 14:26-32). They can be grouped into two groups: (1) Tongues of men, or (2) Tongues of angels. There is the Gift of Tongues for self edification and for the edification of the whole body through interpretation. On the subject of tongues, please read 1 Corinthians 2:13,14. INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES: This is simply the supernatural ability to interpret in the native tongue what is uttered in other languages not known by the one who interprets by the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:5; 1 Corinthians 14:13-15; 1 Corinthians 14:27-28). Some people wonder why the interpretation of an unknown tongue is sometimes longer than the utterance in tongues. The reason for this is that it is an interpretation, not a translation. Manifestations of a spiritual life Fruit of the spirit (1 Corinthians 13; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 4:3) “But the *fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
No law can condemn one with the fruit of the Spirit. Law only condemns sin not righteousness. Romans 3:19-20; Romans 7:13; Galatians 3:19; 1 Timothy 1:9-10. One thing all true believers must remember: The Gifts of the Spirit are given freely without merit when it comes to the believer having the Fruit of the Spirit. The only qualifications for receiving the Gifts of the Spirit are (1) being born-again, and (2) having the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is acquired through the process of time and acquired knowledge of the Word and learning obedience to God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. This is called the 'Process of Sanctification! As a Christian, seeking to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and walking in both the Gifts of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit, we must keep these points in mind and separate both. Too many Christians tend to disregard the validity of the gifts operating in a new Christian, if they do not see all of the Fruit that one might expect. Therefore, let us also be patient and long-suffering when we see another Christian who might have not attained the fullness of the Fruit. Personal Note: When you see me, be patient with me, for I also have not obtained the fullness of the Fruit.
