SPIRITUAL GIFTS[]
The number of Spiritual Gifts is still undecided and would be silly to assume God has a limit on what he can create and give. This is a list of known gifts described in The Bible.
<>1. Wisdom: ability to apply spiritual truth to meet specific needs or situations.
<>2. Knowledge: provide truth by revealing critical information, biblical understanding, or supernatural insight.
<>3. Faith: confidence in God that he will provide, protect, and answer prayers.
<>4. Healing: ability to pray, touch, or speak words that produce spiritual, physical, or emotional healing. (See “3 Unusual Examples of God’s Healing Power.”)
<>5. Miracles: show God’s power through supernatural action.
<>6. Prophecy: guide others by speaking truth to cause correction or repentance.
<>7. Discernment: able to distinguish between truth and error, fact and fiction.
<>8. Tongues: talk in a language unknown to the speaker for the purpose of prayer, worship, or for others.
<>9. Interpretation:
<>10. Apostleship: oversee and lead a ministry or missionary effort.
<>11. Teaching: understand and explain biblical truth to help others apply it to their lives and grow in faith.
<>12. Helps/Service: assist a ministry or person to meet needs and accomplish objectives.
<>13. Administration: With this gift the Holy Spirit enables certain Christians to organize, direct, and implement plans to lead others in the various ministries of the Church. This gift is closely related to the gift of leadership, but is more goal or task oriented and is also more concerned with details and organization.

<>15. Giving: generously provide money and resources for ministry.
<>16. Leadership: cast vision, motivate, and build teams to advance God’s kingdom.
