Lesson 5 – Day 2

The Character & Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is our Helper.  We receive many things by the Holy Spirit, but for this week we will focus generally on the Gifts of the Spirit, and the Fruit of the Spirit.  There are nine Gifts and nine different Fruit of the Spirit. Let’s read about the Gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:1-13,

“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.”

“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.  But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.”

“For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.”

There are nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit are as follows:

1. Wisdom
2. Knowledge
3. Faith
4. Healing
5. Miracles
6. Prophecy
7. Distinguishing of spirits
8. Tongues, Various kinds of
9. Interpretation of tongues

These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit.  They are part of the Operation of the Holy Spirit, but not all of what the Holy Spirit has to offer.  Later in this Course, we will address each of these nine gifts to see how they operate.

Our prayer for today;

Father, thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit and the power of the Spirit operating in my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
