How do you know what gifts of the Holy Spirit you have? I know there are quizzes out there on spiritual gifts but certain ones seem more like questions involving personality.
There are only nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in scripture just as there are nine components to the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;
6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
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,
9 to another
faith by the same Spirit, to another
gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
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.
11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
1Corinthians 12: (ESV)
These gifts are distributed to the members of the Spirit-filled church for the building up (strengthening), encouragement and
comfort of the body of Christ.
These gifts are poured out on a needs basis you might say. Thus I have enjoyed making use of faith, healing and working of miracles
when I either lay hands on somebody for their healing or if I am praying for them from afar.
But I have never exercised the voice gifts of speaking in an unknown tongue, interpretation or prophecy.
Although, I like all other Pentecostal saints do pray in tongues this is quite separate and different to the voice gifts that operate
in a church meeting.
