The Power Gifts

Review Lesson: The Gifts

3 categories of Spiritual Gifts


1. 3 that show you something…Revelation gifts
2. 3 that do something…Power gifts
3. 3 that say something…Utterance gifts

3 that do something…Power gifts


1. Faith
2. Working of miracles
3. Healings
1 Corinthians 12:4-10 (NKJV)
4
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5
There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
6
And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
8
for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through
the same Spirit,
9
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another
different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

 V 4-6 The trinity is involved…Spirit, Lord (Jesus), God (Father)


 Manifestation of the Spirit…there Gifts by grace to believers
 We don’t own them…we are stewards of them.
 To profit all…ministry to others through you are given
 They manifest at the will of the Holy Spirit.

Faith
This is not saving faith…its supernatural faith

The Gift of faith…not everyone has it. 1 Cor 12…to one is given…not everyone.
2 kinds of faith:
1. Faith that comes before and through salvation
Saved by it…Eph 2:8…Rom 10:8-17
We grow by it…Mark 4:14-20
We walk and live by it…Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38
Faith we walk by…as born again believers:
To be healed, to prosper, to overcome, this faith everyone has through salvation
Faithfulness
John 15:7-8 (NKJV)
7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for
you.
8
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

 Bearing fruit glorifies the Father.


Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

 Faith – Faithfulness…Amp (Most trans), Bob Yandian, Rick Renner, Duane


 Faithfulness – devoted, trustworthy, dependable, dedicated, constant, and
unwavering.
 Maturity comes from walking in the fruit of the Spirit…your stronger now than
before you were saved.

2. Faith that comes after you’re baptized in the Holy Spirit…1 Cor 12:9
(amp) wonder-working faith (Special Faith)
Faith that receives a miracle
What’s a miracle?
Not…
The birth of a baby…unless I give birth!!
A sunrise or sunset…the prairie gives great ones.
Waterfall is beautiful…but it’s not a miracle
A miracle = an advent or happening that is outside natural law and order or beyond
human power or ability.
Notice most churches that don’t believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit don’t have
miracles operating in their churches.
The dark ages came about because they didn’t see a need to be saved by grace through
faith…Eph 2:8 (Martin Luther) the reformation
We need a reformation and return to the truth that needs the manifestation of the Spirit.
1. Wonder-working faith = is the receiving of a miracle
2. Wonder-working faith = is God working for you.
You’re not physically involved in the execution of the miracle.
 Working of miracles = is God working with you or through you.
You’re physically involved in the execution of the miracle.

Examples of Wonder-working (special) faith

Daniel 3: the fiery furnace


 V16-18…God will deliver us from the furnace
 They had to receive it…wonder-working faith
 V 19-28…saved from fire, not even the smell of smoke.
 This miracle was for them…they didn’t do anything.

Daniel 6: the lion’s den…Darius, king of Mede…Daniel one of 3 Governors


No one can petition their god or man for 30 days…only to Darius.
 V16-23…Daniel was not injured “Because he believed in his God”
 He had to receive it…wonder-working faith
 An angel shut the loins mouth…discerning of spirits
 This miracle was for him…he didn’t do anything
When you walk in this Faith…people will persecute you and call you arrogant.
It’s not you causing it to come to pass…it’s a manifestation of the Spirit.
Revelation knowledge of the word can affect you the same way…
But believing God out beyond your normal operation of faith…super confidence and
peace in a crisis and watching God manifest a miracle is wonder-working faith.
1 Kings 17:1-7 Elijah and the ravens
 V6…ravens brought him bread and meat morning and evening.
 Elijah by faith obeyed the word of the Lord
 This miracle was for him…he didn’t do anything.
 He had to receive it…wonder-working Faith

Act 28:1-6: snake bit on Malta…after ship wreak


 V5…he shook of a viper into the fire…and went about his business
 A person operating in this kind of faith doesn’t get alarmed in a crisis.
 The natives thought it was judgment on him…no one lives through a bit.
 First Paul was a criminal being judged…next he’s a god to be worshiped.
 This miracle was for him…he didn’t do anything.
 He had to receive it…wonder-working Faith

EX: Tonopah 1981 USAF…A-10 firing on me…pulled trigger but nothing happened.
