  • What Is Your Spiritual Gift?

    What is your spiritual gift?

    Do you know?

    If not, let’s talk about it because understanding your spiritual gift changes how you walk, how you serve, and how you hear God.

    The Bible teaches that there are nine spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit to believers in Jesus Christ. Not every person receives all nine gifts. The Holy Spirit distributes them according to the will of the Father, and at times He may operate through more than one gift in a person to meet a specific need or assignment.

    So let’s dive a little deeper.

    There are three categories of spiritual gifts:

    Vocal (Inspirational) Gifts

    • Speaking in tongues

    • Interpretation of tongues

    Revelation Gifts

    • Discerning of spirits

    • Word of knowledge

    • Word of wisdom

    Power Gifts

    • Gift of faith

    • Gifts of healing

    • Working of miracles

    Many times, these gifts work together to accomplish God’s purpose and advance His mission.

    Now let me ask you this…

    Have you activated your spiritual gift yet?

    If not ask me how. Because as a current Bible college student, I’m just becoming aware of mine!

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a strong sense about people and situations—especially through what I hear and see. I could often tell when something was truth or a lie, when someone was genuine or operating with ulterior motives. Even in my early twenties, I found myself able to recognize whether something was aligned with Scripture or not without always knowing why.

    I didn’t realize that what I was experiencing was me operating in my spiritual gift until this year, when I began Bible college.

    Here’s the thing: if you don’t intentionally pay attention to God, the Holy Spirit will only be as present in your life as you allow Him to be.

    Now that I’m fully aware of the gift God has given me, I’m operating in it with clarity and confidence. What I once called intuition, instincts, vibes, or a hunch was actually the Holy Spirit activating the gift of discerning of spirits in my life.

    And let me tell you awareness changes everything.

    So I challenge you to:

    • Study the Word

    • Show yourself approved

    • Ask God for your gift

    • Receive the Holy Spirit

    • Walk boldly in the will of God

    It’s all for His purpose and to edify the church.

    Father, I thank You for my gift.

    Thank You for loving Your child, Takisha.

    And so I will leave you with…..yup you guessed it a call to action
