Listing of Manifestation Gifts
Ministry Gifts Cont
41.
Ministry gifts are
,
becoming a continual part of their life.
42.
Ministry gifts are related to
gifts. They are not natural abilities, but are generally based upon the
innate abilities of the individual.
43.
Ministry gifts determine the
one holds in the body of Christ.
44.
Ministry gifts are really gifted
.
In order for the church to receive the gift(s), she must receive the person.
45.
Each believer is to
and develop his ministry gift(s).
MANIFESTATION gifts stand somewhat in
contrast to ministry gifts.
46.
They are
.
They are not given permanently to an individual. They are out-shinings of the
Holy Spirit at a specific time and place.
·
Manifestation gifts have no
relation to natural ability.
·
Manifestation gifts have little
relationship to the position in the body of Christ. Manifestations do not
determine ones ministry in the church.
·
The gift is emphasized here, and
not the person. It is a manifestation of the Spirit and it is this
manifestation which must be received. The person being used is just a channel.
·
The body is to receive and rejoice
in these surprises of the Spirit.
MANIFESTATION GIFTS
1 Corinthians 12
a.
A Word of Wisdom Acts 15
A word of wisdom is a supernatural utterance
of a specific word, given at a specific time, giving Gods wisdom to a specific
situation.
b.
A Word of Faith Acts 5
It is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit in which God imparts to a
member of the body of Christ information or facts which only God may know.
c.
Faith Acts 27
It is a special gift of faith bestowed upon a member of the Body to
enable its recipient to carry out some special task of ministry.
d.
Gifts of Healing
God ministers healing to members of the body of Christ. Every healing
is a fresh gift.
e.
Working of Miracles
This is a manifestation of supernatural power given to the servant of
God to authenticate the preaching of the Word. According to Mark 16:17
believers do not follow miracles, miracles follow believers.
f.
Prophecy
Prophecy is the manifestation of a spontaneously uttered word from the
Lord given through any member of the Body for the encouragement, edification or
exhortation of the church. This is the one gift that is both a ministry and
manifestation.
g.
Discerning of Spirits
This is the manifestation of the Spirit which enables a member of the
body to determine with supernatural confidence the spiritual source of the
conduct or message of a prophet or teacher.
h.
Tongues
This is the manifestation of the Spirit which enables a person to
speak to the church in a language he does not understand and which is
incomprehensible to the hearers.
i.
Interpretation of Tongues
It is the manifestation of the Spirit which must accompany the
manifestation of tongues, giving the meaning of what has been spoken in tongues.

spiritual gifts.

final court of appeal in all questions of both doctrine and conduct.

COMMUNION is the church sharing the life of her living Lord.
COMPASSION is the church proclaiming her living Lord.
