  28. Personality Profile Sketch Schoolroom Scenario

  29. Acts 1:8 “… but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

  30. We are all called to be evangelists, as royal priests, but we also have been given special gifting, abilities, passions, personalities and experiences that make us the perfect individual to undertake a unique ministry in the body of Christ…

  31. What are spiritual gifts? ‘… extraordinary endowments that the Spirit confers on chosen people.’ Leon Morris ‘… specific visible ways in which the Spirit manifests himself in the believing community, granting them ‘gracious bestowments’ to meet their various needs and thus to build them up…’ Gordon Fee

  32. 1 Corinthians 12:11 “All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.”

  33. Who Have Spiritual Gifts? 1 Peter 4:10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” • All believers!

  34. Do we ACHIEVE or RECEIVE our spiritual gifts? 1 Corinthians 12:18 “But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.” • Receive God’s choice

  35. Should I expect to function like other members in the Body? Romans 12:6a “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us...” • No!

  36. Why use our spiritual gifts? 1 Peter 4:10-11 “Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms… so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” • God is glorified!

  37. “Charis” • Means “grace” in Greek • Also is the root for gift (charizmo) and joy (chara) Isn’t is appropriate that using our grace gifts will result in joy!!

  39. Discovering your spiritual gifts… • Explore the possibilities. • Experiment with as many as possible. • Examine your feelings. • Evaluate your effectiveness. • Expect confirmation from the body.

  40. Discover Your Destiny Spiritual Gifts Profile – pg 3. • 128 statements. • Rate from 1 to 5. • 1 is almost never true. • 5 is almost always true. • Resist the urge to put a 3 on everything.

  41. William Booth ‘You must know you have a gift before you can use it. Every man is a genius in some direction. There is some specialty in which he excels beyond those about Him …Put yourself into circumstances in which you are likely to discover for yourself, and in which others can help you to find out, what gifts you do possess. I am afraid … thousands …live and die with abilities, which, had they been discovered, might have been the means of saving multitudes.’

  42. “This isn’t working for me!” You may be serving in a ministry position that doesn’t match your giftedness. This may indicate MATURITY AND A WILLINGNESS TO DO WHATEVER GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. OR it may explain WHY YOU GET FRUSTRATED IN YOUR MINISTRY.

  43. The greatest ability God wants is AVAILABILITY. God doesn’t always CALL THE QUALIFIED, but He always QUALIFIES THE CALLED.

  44. Hindrances to Spiritual Gifting • Self-esteem problems • Pursuing someone’s else’s agenda for us • Avoiding distinctiveness/to be known • Trying to be just like someone else • Having to function in ungifted areas • Unwillingness to accept feedback

  45. Blocks to the Flow of Spiritual Gifts • Bondage – fear, damaged emotions from childhood, low self-esteem • Unresolved anger • Conflict with family members • Conflict with brothers & sisters in Christ • Irresponsibility • Sin
