More On Spiritual Gifts

Below I posted some articles from Don Stewart on Spiritual gifts. I know that some of you have been praying about your spiritual gifts, so I thought I would post some links that might confirm to what the Lord is already revealing to you.

The Holy Spirit is the One who decides what gifts you get, not a quiz on the Internet. But it doesn't hurt to take a spiritual gifts quiz to see if it confirms what He might already be saying to you. In fact, it might show you something surprising. Then you need to pray and have the Holy Spirit confirm that, or show you where you might have answered wrong. Here is an online Spiritual Gifts Test. My advice to you is to be completely honest. If you don't like telling strangers about Jesus, don't try and be nice, just say so! Go with your first impression. Also, at the end of the test you will see your top 3 scores, but click under those results so you can see how you measured up in all the categories. You might have strong scores in more than 3 gifts.

I also want to give you the link to Acts-One-Eight. This is the ministry of Jim and June Hesterly. He has worked for Pastor Chuck Smith for many years and his audio downloads offer much wisdom and experience in this area. Topics include the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Four Ways God Speaks to Us, Battling Through Prayer, Discovering Your Gifts, as well as topical teachings on specific gifts. I have enjoyed many evenings with a cup of coffee, listening to these exciting teachings. Make sure you listen to the teachings about the gifts you might posses!

Don't leave your gifts unwrapped! God has given them to you so open them and use them!!!
