24 10 Truths about Spiritual Gifts 4. No single gift is given to EVERYONE. 1 Cor. 12: You can t EARN OR WORK FOR a spiritual gift. Eph. 4:7 6. The HOLY SPIRIT decides what gifts I get. 1 Cor. 12:11
25 10 Truths about Spiritual Gifts Class 7. The gifts I m given are PERMANENT. Rom. 11:29 8. I am to DEVELOP the gifts God gives me. 1 Tim. 4:14 9. It s a sin to WASTE the gifts God gave me. 1 Cor. 4:1-2
26 10 Truths about Spiritual Gifts Class 10. Using my gifts HONOURS God and EXPANDS me. John 15:8
27 The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts A. NOT FOR MY BENEFIT, BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. B. TO PRODUCE MATURITY AND HARMONY IN OUR CHURCH FAMILY.
28 What the Bible Says about Gifts Class The Apostle Paul - Now about spiritual gifts, I do not want you to be ignorant. 1 Cor. 12:1 A SPIRITUAL GIFT: Is a special ability, given by the Holy Spirit to every believer at their conversion, to be used to minister to others and therefore build up the Body of Christ.
29 The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts C. RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE BOTH A PRIMARY AND A SECONDARY MINISTRY IN YOUR CHURCH:
30 The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts Class My PRIMARY MINISTRY commitment should be in the area where I am GIFTED. My SECONDARY MINISTRY includes serving in any other area of the Body when I am NEEDED.
31 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts Class 1. Don t confuse gifts with natural talents. 2. Don t confuse gifts with the Fruit of the Spirit. Gal. 5: Fruit shows my Maturity. Gifts show my Ministry.
32 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts Class 3. Don t confuse gifts with Christian Roles. 4. Be aware of the gift projection tendency. (Expecting others to serve the way you do and have similar results.)
33 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts 5. Don t feel my gift makes me superior to others. 1 Cor. 12: Realize that using my gifts without love is worthless!! 1 Cor. 13: 1-3 (GN)
34 How to Discover Your Gifts Class Get Started! STUDY (Suggested Book List) 19 Gifts of the Spirit by Leslie Flynn Your Spiritual Gifts Can Help Your Church Grow by C. Peter Wagner

36 How to Discover Your Gifts Class Three Ways God Wants You to Use Your Gifts 1. Through an Ongoing Ministry 2. Through Short-Term Projects 3. Through Spontaneous Situations IT IS EASIER TO DISCOVER YOUR GIFT THROUGH MINISTRY THAN TO DISCOVER YOUR MINISTRY THROUGH YOUR GIFT.
37 Discovering My Ministry Spiritual Gifts Unwrapping My Gifts
38 Discovering My SHAPE Spiritual Gifts Heart Abilities Personality Experiences
39 Monitoring My Heartbeat The Bible defines the Heart as: a. The organ that pumps your blood b. Your emotional constitution or disposition c. The vital force or driving impulse
40 Monitoring My Heartbeat My heart determines... u Why I SAY the things I do u Why I FEEL the way I do u Why I ACT the way I do My heart is the REAL me!
41 Monitoring My Heartbeat Why has God given each person a UNIQUE heartbeat? You can do God s will and serve God s purpose by letting your heartbeat MOTIVATE you for ministry!

43 Discovering My SHAPE Spiritual Gifts Heart Abilities Personality Experiences
44 Applying My Abilities There are different abilities to perform service. 1 Cor. 12:6 I (God)...have given him skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts... Exodus 31:3
45 5 Misconceptions About Abilities 1. MYTH: People aren t born with skills. All skills must be learned by experience. This simply is not true. There are a number of talents which seem to be inborn, or are developed very early in infancy. When people say He just seems to have a natural talent for it it s probably true!
46 5 Misconceptions About Abilities Class 2. MYTH: Those skills which must be learned, are learned primarily in the classroom. Actually, some of your most basic skills were learned at home, in the street, or somewhere else outside the classroom.
47 5 Misconceptions About Abilities Class 3. MYTH: If you have certain abilities, you will be very aware that you have them. Again, this is not true. You are probably using a number of talents or skills that you are not even aware of! You need some process of skill identification.
48 5 Misconceptions About Abilities Class 4. MYTH: Skills that I use at work are only usable in that environment. I couldn t use them in ministry. Hopefully, by the end of this class, you ll see the fallacy of this idea. Be creative!
49 5 Misconceptions About Abilities Class 5. MYTH: Most people only have a very few abilities. The truth is that many national studies have proven that the average person possesses from five hundred to seven hundred skills!
