We are gifted! 10/2/14

10/2/14

If you could choose a power of a super-hero, what power would you choose? Would you be able to fly? Or would you be the fastest person on earth? May-be   x-ray vision. I’ll bet there is a lot of different answer to that question. God has gifted us with some very incredible gifts, oh I know that we can’t fly or zoom about so fast that we can do things without anyone seeing us. But we have gifts to use for the edifying of the Saints. We should be working in them and developing them.

1Co 12:4  Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

1Co 12:5  and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;

1Co 12:6  and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.

1Co 12:7  To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

1Co 12:8  For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

1Co 12:9  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

1Co 12:10  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

1Co 12:11  All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

1Co 12:12  For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
