My greatest fear is that all my teaching and ministering maybe nothing more than natural gifts \u2013 absorbing information, analysing and categorising it, and then regurgitating it as required! But I do believe that natural gifts used spiritually are much more valuable than spiritual gifts used naturally (i.e. in the flesh!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost any discussion of spiritual gifts descends into discussing tongues. I say \u2018descends\u2019 as, although Paul values it quite highly as a gift (I thank my God that I speak in tongues more than you all), he ranked it quite lowly in actual use for ministry to others (I would rather speak 5 words with my understanding \u2026 than 10,000 words in an unknown tongue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question: Why are Spiritual Gifts given to the body? Some answers from the group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>We are God&#8217;s instruments and it&#8217;s His work, so we need His gifts through the Spirit<\/li><li>They are gifts &#8211; so not for us to demand<\/li><li>Accordingly, they are not guaranteed, to remind us that we are dependent on Him<\/li><li>They are given to meet specific situations<\/li><li>To equip the body for service<\/li><li>To open unbelievers to the gospel<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our God is a God of ultimate creativity and variety and Spiritual Gifts are a beautiful kaleidoscope of that. But better than a kaleidoscope which is just something you admire, they are building blocks of beautiful ministry whereby the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is equipped for \u2018works of service\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To change the metaphor, they are part of the weapons of our warfare too. With any sort of weapon, you need to know what it is and how to deploy it effectively, in order to achieve the strategic objectives set by our Commander-in-Chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First point to note: We need to target the enemy, not each other! So-called &#8216;spiritual gifts&#8217; have often been used by believers against other believers and &#8216;Friendly fire&#8217; is just as deadly as any enemy fire &#8211; probably more so, as it brings doubt and discouragement to our own forces and has caused many to fall away completely. We have to watch that church doesn\u2019t descend into a circular firing squad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second point follows on from the first: Ministry without maturity can be dangerous. Not that receiving Spiritual Gifts is dependent on us having come to maturity \u2013 in that case, none of us would have any! But there has to be a parallel development in maturity, a.k.a. the Fruit of the Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foundational point &#8211; The Holy Spirit does not give the gifts apart from Himself \u2013 the Spiritual Gifts are simply the Spirit of God operating in us as He dwells with us and in us \u2013 the Renewed Mind Filled with the Spirit \u2013 open to each and every believer regardless of the length of time they\u2019ve been saved (Acts 2:39) For the gifts to be ministered effectively, we need the filling of the Spirit. Otherwise, we can treat them just as toys to amuse the saints. We are in the times that C H Spurgeon forecast when, instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, we have clowns entertaining the goats (often mimicking spiritual gifts)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is being filled with the Spirit? (Eph. 5:18)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What it is not<ul><li>Not a badge of merit for superior Christians<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Not a reward for notching up a few brownie points<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Not a feel-good factor or warm fuzzy feeling \u2013 although may be accompanied by an emotional and\/or physical response<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>What it is<\/li><li>The coming of the presence of God into your body, soul and spirit \u2013 not once, but as a lived experience<\/li><li>The divine afflatus \u2013 a strong creative impulse, especially as a result of divine inspiration. [Latin affl\u0101tus , from past participle of affl\u0101re , to breathe]<\/li><li>An anointing for service Luke 4:14-23<\/li><li>The continuous empowering presence of God to be all that He wants you to be and to do all that He wants you to do \u2013 is my experience of the Holy Spirit an Old Testament or New Testament experience? John 14:16-17 He will abide with you forever \u2026 He dwells with you and shall be in you \u2013 this is gloriously true but not always enjoyed by us. But we shouldn\u2019t pray \u201cCome Holy Spirit\u201d \u2013 he\u2019s already here \u2013 or sing \u201cWe want more of You\u201d \u2013 He wants more of us!<ul><li>OT \u2013 came upon people for specific tasks, e.g. 70 elders, Bezalel, Saul<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>NT \u2013 He will be in you and abide with you for ever, so we shouldn\u2019t pray like David in Psa. 51 \u201cTake not your Spirit from me\u201d (like the Lord had done with Saul 1 Sam. 16:14). We need to rejoice in the reality of His ever-presence!<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Spiritual Gifts flow out of this, but what are they?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two lists in 1 Cor. 12, one in Rom. 12 and one in Eph. 4, plus some instructions on their use in 1 Pet. 4:9-11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anybody pick up similarities between Rom 12 and 1 Pet. 4? (might need to look at adjacent verses?) Love, grace, mercy, reliance on God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One emphasis across all 4 lists is unity. Rom. 12:4 one body; 1 Cor. 12:12 one body; Eph. 4:4 one body. It seems that every time Paul mentions the one body, his mind turns to spiritual gifts and their role in preserving the unity of the body. Is that how we view them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The promotion and use of Spiritual Gifts can be very divisive and if they are used that way, I suggest that the flesh is in operation. Can you use Spiritual Gifts in the flesh? Experience suggests so! E.g. a word given by the Spirit and applied in the flesh, prefaced with \u2018Thus says the Lord\u2019 (or equivalent) \u2013 allows no argument or discussion, which contradicts the Scriptural injunction for \u2018words\u2019 to be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note the involvement of the whole Tri-unity. While the emphasis is on one-ness in the body, the gifts have different roles to play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>READ <\/strong>1 Cor. 12:4-6<\/td><td>Listed in<\/td><td>What\/who\/how<\/td><td>Who does the giving<\/td><td>Emphasis<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>v. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;<\/td><td>1 Cor. 12:7-13; 28-30<\/td><td><strong>Ministries<\/strong><\/td><td>The Spirit<\/td><td><strong>Unity <\/strong>in the body<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>v. 4 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;<\/td><td>Eph. 4:11<\/td><td><strong>Ministers (servants)<\/strong><\/td><td>The Lord Jesus<\/td><td><strong>Maturity<\/strong> of the Body<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>v. 6 and there are varieties of activities but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone<\/td><td>Rom. 12:4-8<\/td><td><strong>Manner<\/strong><\/td><td>The Father<\/td><td><strong>Harmony<\/strong> in the Body<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on in 1 Corinthians, Paul describes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ch. 12:8-end The <strong>Ministries<\/strong> \u2013 unity in diversity<\/li><li>Ch. 13: 1-3 The <strong>Motivation<\/strong> for the Gifts &#8211; Love<\/li><li>Ch. 13: 8-12 The <strong>Measure<\/strong> of the Gifts However impressive, they are temporal only<\/li><li>Ch. 14 The <strong>Method of Management<\/strong> of the Gifts <strong>NB<\/strong> they are exercised <strong>in the assembly<\/strong> under the headship of Christ for edification, with consideration of others\u2013 accountability is essential \u20131 Thess. 5:21.
