1 Corinthians 12:8-10 “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.” The third gift that falls into the category of the revelation gifts,

1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 “Do not despise prophecies. (21) Test all things; hold fast what is good.” In the section in which we discussed the word of wisdom, we mentioned the fact that there are false prophets in the church that operate with familiar spirits. We said that these individuals are quite often able to give extremely accurate “words of knowledge” to people, because the spirits that they work with are familiar with nearly every aspect of the saints’ lives and shar

Acts 5:1-11 “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. (2) And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet. (3) But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? (4) While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Wh

Not the gift of knowledge 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 “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.” The second revelation gift listed

Leviticus 19:31 “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.” There is another important truth that we need to understand about the revelation gifts, which obviously includes the gift of the word of wisdom. In all of the examples that we have looked at in this section, there is not one instance where the disciples went to the person who had this gift to get a word from the Lord. But rather, in all i

Acts 13:1-3 “Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. (2) As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." (3) Then, having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away.” In the example quoted abov

Acts 22:17-18 “Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance (18) and saw Him saying to me, 'Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.” In order for us to get a clearer understanding of this gift and how it operates, we will examine some examples in scripture. The first example we will look at is recorded for us in the above quoted passage of scripture. In this

Three categories of gifts 1 Corinthians 12:7-10 “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,

Christ Jesus Matthew 23:10 “And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.” As with all the ministry gifts there are also various classes of the ministry gift of the teacher. As we will see in this section, there are two classes within the ministry gift of the teacher. We have already seen that the Lord Jesus Christ heads up each ministry gift category, and in each category He is in a class of His own. When you study the gospels you will see that mos

Spiritual Gifts 1 Corinthians 14:26 “How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.” So what spiritual gift forms part of the ministry gift of the pastor? Actually, scripture does not specify just what spiritual gifts form part of the pastor’s ministry. But scripture does teach us that the pastor should encourage each member of hi

Christ Jesus John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” This now brings us to the ministry gift of the pastor. A pastor is a shepherd of the sheep, and in the above quoted passage of scripture our Lord Jesus referred to Himself as the good Shepherd. And so we see that as with all of the ministry gifts, Jesus is the pre-eminent pastor in the church. As with the ministry gift of the evangelist, there are only two classes in this mi

Acts 8:6-7 “And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. (7) For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.” So what spiritual gifts form part of the ministry gift of the evangelist? To answer that question we can examine Philip’s ministry to determine which spiritual gifts form part of the evangelist’s ministry. In
