"…For indeed, there are many gifts of the Spirit which I bestow upon all those who love Me, many gifts given to those who are willing to give up everything and follow Me. Thus Timothy is just one among many who hear My voice, one voice in a great chorus growing ever louder, of the number I am sending. Yet to him did I say, “Write that which I speak, and place it in a book”; also commanding him to share that which the Spirit causes him to understand. For the latter is that which My people call inspired of God or inspired in the Spirit; and the former, that which the prophets hear, the voice of The Living God."

“But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.”

—John 14:26

The Holy Spirit is a most wonderful person (yes, He is a person). You can talk to God, He is close. You can pray in Jesus' name and He also prays for you (Heb 7:25, 1Jn 2:1). But The Holy Spirit, (who also prays for you, Rom 8:26-27) is the third person in the Holy Trinity and He is someone a little different. He lives inside you all the time. He helps you, He will bring things to your memory when you need them. He gives you spiritual gifts: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. (Isa 11:1-2) And the fruits of the spirit come from The Him: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. (Gal 5:22)

He is The Creator Spirit. He existed before the creation of the universe and through his power everything was made in Jesus Christ, by God the Father. He descended on Jesus like a dove and stayed with Him as His Helper. (Luke 3:22). When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us forever.

I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

The gifts of our spiritual nature are undoubtedly fascinating. But are spiritual gifts and abilities a blessing or curse? Several factors determine if these gifts are desirable or undesirable. Some see these gifts as "a divine power," while others see them as natural aspects of human nature. Generally speaking, the value of these gifts falls into two primary groups. One group defines them as tools or processes for consciousness development. The second group defines them as philosophical virtues and theological links. Depending on the culture, there are many different ways to define spiritual gifts and abilities. Come and see which of these gifts resonates with you. "It depends" is the best answer to most legal questions. And it is often the best answer for many things on the subject of spirituality. Whether spiritual gifts are a blessing or a curse depends. It depends on where you live and the time in history in which you are born. Whether these gifts and talents are good or bad is determined by your culture.

How to Define Spiritual Gifts and Abilities

“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.” —Ephesians 1:7‭-‬8 (NLT)

“Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of his grace. This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of wisdom and practical understanding.” —Ephesians 1:7‭-‬8 (TPT)

“O Lord, if You heal me, I will be truly healed; if You save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for You alone!” Jeremiah 17:14 (NLT)

Jesus didn't just heal the ten lepers, the lame man, the blind man etc, He healed all the sick around Him. (Matthew 8:16, 12:15, 14:14,19:2, 21:14; Mark 3:10, 5:17, 6:19, 6:56; Luke 4:40, 6:19, 9:11!) There aren't any verses in the Bible where Jesus turned the sick away, or told them to come back another day, because He'd used enough healing power and He needed a break. He didn't say to anyone that God's will for them was they stay sick or He'd only heal some sicknesses, but not others. Jesus didn't say that if we have a sickness it's because we need to learn a lesson, or we're being punished for our sins. No, Jesus healed them all and it didn't stop when Jesus ascended to Heaven, “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” John 14:12 (NLT) Miracles and healing continue now as they did then - through believers, by The Holy Spirit. Not everyone is healed by prayer and we'll never know why, but it isn't because sickness and troubles are Gods will for us; they aren't, but we live in a fallen world. All I know is that when Jesus heals you, you're really healed and when Jesus saves you, you're really saved!

Friend, if you or a loved one need healing, keep praying!
