9 Gifts of the Spirit REVEALED: God’s Supernatural Weapons for Total Victory
Excerpted from Activating the Nine Gifts of the Spirit.
I believe your whole life will change if you’ll listen to what the Spirit of the Lord says concerning the gifts of the Spirit.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are the answers to all of the world’s problems. The gifts of the Spirit are the answers to all of your problems.
Always remember this: You will never have a problem in your life that the gifts of the Spirit can’t correct and give you information about. They cover all of the problems that you have now or ever will have. If the United States President had all nine gifts of the Spirit operating in his life, his worries would be over because in every situation he would know what to do in advance.
Everything you need is in 1 Corinthians 12—all those beautiful gifts, given out as the Spirit wills. The Holy Spirit wills to give them out continually wherever they’re taught and wherever they’re believed.
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
The only reason we don’t get any more help from God than we do is because we don’t know the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit would make you rich if you’d let Him. But of course, until you learn to handle money, He won’t do that. He would heal you if you’d let Him. He knows exactly how to heal you. He’d give you a miracle. The Holy Spirit would create things for you if you’d show God you trust Him to that degree.
If you go to church, you trust God generally. You have a general type faith that believes God can do anything. But as long as you live, remember this: God won’t accept that. God won’t accept general faith. You have to be specific with God if you want the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself. As long as you walk around saying, ‘‘Well, I believe that Jesus could do anything. I believe God could do anything,” the Holy Spirit, who lives in your belly, just dwells there. He’ll never manifest Himself even though He has been sent from heaven to bring heaven’s blessings to you.
Third John 2 says, “I wish above all things that thou mayest pros- per and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” In heaven you will see the height of wealth. In heaven they don’t even know the meaning of poverty. If you’ll work for God in your life, when you get to heaven, you’ll probably have diamond doorknobs. There is no poverty in heaven, just like there are no diseases.
You hear people quote, “There are no diseases in heaven, there will be no cripples in heaven, there will be no blind people in heaven.” That’s right. But also, there will be no poverty in heaven.
Activating the Nine Gifts of the Spirit
Norvel Hayes
The Holy Spirit, the Person who lives in your belly, thinks exactly like heaven is. He doesn’t think any other way. That’s where He came from. That’s all He’s ever known. He is consumed with positive energy creating wealth, health, and miracles. He brings good things to you. He will do anything for you, that is, anything heaven has to offer.
Jesus did a lot of good things, and when He told people He was going away, they got all shook up. But Jesus plainly explained things to them. He said, “No. Don’t get shook up because it’s good for you that I go away. If I go not away, the Comforter will not come. But when He comes, He will be in you. He will guide you, lead you into all truth, and teach you.” The Holy Spirit is the Great Teacher. He’ll teach you all truth about anything. He’s the Teacher of the Church.
In every area of your life where you’re not successful, you’re not being led by the Spirit of God, because He thinks no other way except success. He’s consumed with it. He thinks only about success.
The reason the Church per se is so crippled is because the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost are not in operation as they should be. The nine gifts of the Spirit are the answer to all the world’s problems— every one of them. Every church in the world is supposed to have all nine gifts in operation allowing the Holy Spirit to give His ministry out as He wills.
The Holy Spirit has a ministry. He has gifts He wants to give you. The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are His ministry. They are not your ministry. You can’t make one gift of the Spirit operate. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to a believer as the Spirit wills (1 Cor. 12:11). You’re the vessel it comes through.
Learn to Receive from Heaven
For you to receive from heaven is the most simple thing in the world, but you have to learn how to do it. You’ll never learn with your mind. You have to pray that you’ll have the mind of Christ so you can understand the Bible and accept it just the way it’s written. God will do great and mighty things for you! He’ll do anything for you. It is not God’s will that He withhold any good thing from you. It’s God’s good pleasure to give you your heart’s desire and so many gifts that you don’t have enough room to contain them (Ps. 37:4, 84:11; Mal. 3:10).
You say, “Well, I wish I had some of them.”
You can get them. I urge you to seek all nine of the gifts of the Spirit.
The Gifts Can Save Your Life
The graveyard is full of people who don’t even know what’s in 1 Corinthians 12. If you don’t know what’s in there, it can cost you your life.
One manifestation of the Holy Ghost through one gift can absolutely save your life—just one manifestation. You need to study, learn, and know what all the nine gifts are, and you need every one of them. Don’t think you’ll ever just need healing and miracles. You need all nine of them.
A time in your life is coming when you’re going to be desperate for every one of the nine gifts of the Spirit. And every one of them you leave out—pay no respect to or don’t spend time learning about— might just be the link that will be missing. It will be a blessing from Almighty God meant for you that you can’t have. God won’t give it to you, because every part of the New Testament that you leave out of your life, that’s the part you can’t have. You have to learn what’s in the Bible. You have to be steadfast. You have to know that you know that you know what’s in there. You have to tell God you know what’s in there. If you tell God that and tell Him you believe it, He’ll give it to you.
He’ll manifest Himself and give it to anybody, anywhere. It doesn’t make any difference to Him. God’s not selfish. Don’t leave a missing link in your life and limit how the Holy Spirit can use you. Learn all you can, because God works only with knowledge.
Trust God
Sometimes the Holy Spirit will rise up in me and just weep. Once, after weeping for a long time, He said to me, “Oh, son, I want to heal
the sick so much. I wish they could trust Me. I wish they would believe Me. I have been sent to the earth to heal them. I’ve been sent to the earth to stretch their legs out. I’ve been sent to the earth to open up their blind eyes. I wish they would believe Me and trust Me. I wish they would praise Jesus, because He’s the Healer. I’ll do the work for them. I’ve been sent here to do the work. But they must trust Me.”
It’s called faith in God. It’s called trust. Remember that faith trusts God. Tell people that Jesus heals, and that’s it. He heals everyone who will believe in Him. Boldly tell people that God will heal them. Don’t be backward, and don’t be ashamed of it. Always remember, anything you’re ashamed of God won’t give to you. If you’re ashamed of Jesus the Healer, then Jesus will be your Savior, but He’ll never become your Healer. The bolder you can believe it, the better God likes it. The more heaven shouts and rejoices, the more the Holy Spirit will rise up within you and give you exactly what you want from God.
‘Given to Every Man’
Look at 1 Corinthians 12:7. It will keep you free from yourself. It will keep you free from false doctrines. It will keep you free from allowing your mind to think that Jesus might not want you to have the gifts of the Spirit. It says, “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
Say it out loud, “Every man means me.” Believe it! If you’ll say that every day, and know that the Spirit has been given to manifest Himself to you personally, then you’ll keep all those lies out of your mind. You’ll keep all those deceiving spirits from the devil out of your mind.
Remember, the gifts will help you in your business. They’ll help you in your relationships. They’ll help you in anything that concerns you. One of the nine gifts of the Spirit can solve any problem you have.
Unleash the Supernatural Power of the Spirit of God
Jesus proclaimed that we should do the works He did―and even greater! But for many Christians, that's not their reality. Are you ready for a change? Do you want to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover? Are you prepared to raise the dead? How many devils have you cast out?
If you’re not satisfied with your answers, then this is the catalyst for more!
