Charisma – TEACHING, KNOWLEDGE, & WISDOM
The explosive growth of the Church didn’t happen just because of social innovation. Its growth was miraculous—divine action through human instruments. Deposited in each follower of Jesus are spiritual gifts that build up the Church and that are for the common good. Do you know how you’ve been gifted? And are you courageous enough to live them out?
In this week’s podcast, Mike talks about the spiritual gifts of teaching, knowledge, and wisdom.
Teaching (Romans 12:7; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11) is the spiritual capacity to communicate God’s truth so that others grow in their understanding of the Word of God and ability to live through the Spirit of God.
Words of Knowledge (1 Corinthians 12:8)is the spiritual capacity to reveal God’s omniscience by receiving specific information from the Holy Spirit that leads to some sort of spiritual healing or growth in others.
Words of Wisdom (1 Corinthians 12:8)is the spiritual capacity to reveal God’s understanding by receiving insight from the Holy Spirit into how truth may be applied to specific situations.
