Sermon Tone Analysis

Do you want the gifts???

Pastora Lidia

1 Corintios 12:11 (RVR1960)

It is crucial that we learn to recognize and flow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

It’s not only a blessing to us, but the lives of other people may depend on it.

You are carrying someone’s miracle.

Don’t let it stay inside.

You have to learn how to release it.(

Tienes que aprender a liberarlo.)

1 Corinthians 12:1 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

12 No quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis acerca de los dones espirituales.

Paul is writing to the church... Notice the first thing: God wants you to move in the supernatural.

You are designed to be a supernatural being.

You are a spirit being living inside a body.(

Estás diseñado para ser un ser sobrenatural.

Eres un espíritu viviendo dentro de un cuerpo.)

With your body you can communicate with the external world; with your spirit you can communicate with the realm of God, the realm of the spirit.

(Con tu cuerpo puedes comunicarte con el mundo externo; con tu espíritu puedes comunicarte con el reino de Dios, el reino del espíritu.)

You are designed to flow and access with the supernatural realm of God; you don't have to become a spiritual person - you already are spiritual.

You already have a spirit dimension to you.

(Estás diseñado para fluir y acceder con el reino sobrenatural de Dios; no tienes que convertirte en una persona espiritual, ya eres espiritual.

Tú ya tienes una dimensión espiritual para ti.)

Your natural body has five senses: (Tu cuerpo natural tiene cinco sentidos.

)you can see, you can hear, you can taste, touch, smell.

Your spirit man also has spiritual senses.

With your physical senses you can interact with the physical world.

You receive signals, and from that you can begin to identify certain things.

It's the same in your spirit; but many people haven't developed their spiritual capacity.

1) The first thing is: you are a spirit being - and God wants you to operate supernaturally.

(y Dios quiere que operes sobrenaturalmente.)That's

His plan; and so Paul writes: “I don't want you to be ignorant of the supernatural realm, or how to work with the Holy Spirit”.

God wants us to be empowered, and equipped to bring His power to people.

(Dios quiere que estemos empoderados y equipados para llevar Su poder a las personas.)The

church has long lost the flow of power; but now, in these days, God is restoring power back to the church.

We'll see that part of the great commission is that you be anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit, and you are able to lay hands on the sick, you are able to minister to people - you are able to flow with the Holy Spirit.

That makes sense, because the world isn't going to come into a church building; the church has to go to the world, and bring God to the world.

Don't wait for some revival, and don't wait for some big experience; take what we the Holy Spirit teaches you , and begin to apply it and practice it, and you'll get better and better and better.

God is more willing to use you than you realise!

2) The second thing is: we're going talk a little bit about the gifts of the spirit themselves.

1 Corinthians 12:7 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

7 Pero a cada uno le es dada la manifestación del Espíritu para provecho.

It uses the word 'manifestation’, it means: something that's visible, tangible, that people can see.

He's saying: God wants to operate through you, in a way that's tangible, that people can experience Him.

(Utiliza la palabra 'manifestación', significa: algo que es visible, tangible, que la gente puede ver.

Él está diciendo: Dios quiere operar a través de ti, de manera tangible, para que la gente pueda experimentarlo.)

The gifts of the spirit are manifestations of a person - the Holy Spirit; so it's not like you have some kind of gift.

You have a person; and you work with Him to bring His life forth.

It's all about a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

It says: “the manifestation of the spirit is given to everyone” - There's no one left out - this is for you!

Everyone includes you.

1 Corinthians 12:11 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

11 Pero todas estas cosas las hace uno y el mismo Espíritu, repartiendo a cada uno en particular como él quiere.

God is very clear in the word - He wants every person to be able to flow in the spirit.

He gives the gifts of the spirit to everyone; so if you haven't functioned in them, or flowed in them, or received them yet - it's mostly because you don't know how to.

3) God wants to work through everyone; and the gifts are given to profit others.

When God gives you a gift - it's not for you; it's for someone else - you're just the delivery person.

It's like I'm connected to God, so I can receive something from Him, and then I pass it on to someone else.

That's what the gifts of the spirit are, and I'm just the channel through which this flows.

I'm the gate through which God interacts with the person.

You are described in the Bible as: you are a temple, or a house, in which God dwells; and you are a gate for the supernatural to come into the earth.

Example… gifts…

5) Now let's have a look at the different categories of gifts.

It's in your notes under Section 2.3, and it says:

1 Corinthians 12:7-11

7 Pero a cada uno le es dada la manifestación del Espíritu para provecho.

8 Porque a éste es dada por el Espíritu palabra de sabiduría; a otro, palabra de ciencia según el mismo Espíritu;

9 a otro, fe por el mismo Espíritu; y a otro, dones de sanidades por el mismo Espíritu.

10 A otro, el hacer milagros; a otro, profecía; a otro, discernimiento de espíritus; a otro, diversos géneros de lenguas; y a otro, interpretación de lenguas.

11 Pero todas estas cosas las hace uno y el mismo Espíritu, repartiendo a cada uno en particular como él quiere.

There are 9 distinct operations of the spirit there; but it helps if we list them under 3 headings.

First of all, 3 of the gifts are ‘gifts of revelation’.

That means: God reveals to you something you didn't know.

If I talk to someone, and they tell me, then I've learned it from them.

If I've read it in a book, then I've studied it and learned it; but if someone just tells me a secret, it reveals something to me.

So in 3 of the gifts of the spirit, God just reveals something, which you couldn't have worked it out.

You just couldn't have known.

Remember the woman at the well (in ) - when Jesus spoke to her, Jesus asked her a little bit, interacted with her, and then He said: why don't you bring your husband?

She said: I haven't got a husband; and He said to her: that's true, you've had 5 husbands - and now you're living with a man.

When she went away, she said: I met someone who told me everything about my whole life.

Now why did she say ‘everything about her whole life’, when actually He'd only said one thing about her life?

The impact of that supernatural revelation was to cause her to experience the sensation that: all of her life was suddenly opened - and God could see everything.

So when you bring a word of knowledge, or move prophetically, it may not seem much to you.

It's very little to you - because it's not for you; but when it goes to the person - oh, the person can be deeply impacted!

How could you know that?

It's like suddenly their whole world is opened up; but for you it was just a little tentative step.

For them it's like oh!

This is a big deal, because now you've opened up something in their life.

So there are three gifts.

1) Words of knowledge - word of knowledge, just a little bit of knowledge about a person, some fact about their past or present.( 1) Palabras de conocimiento: palabra de conocimiento, solo un poco de conocimiento sobre una persona, algún hecho sobre su pasado o presente.)

2) A word of wisdom is a supernatural insight about what to do, or how a person needs to act, or what they should do at this time.(

2) Una palabra de sabiduría es una visión sobrenatural sobre qué hacer, o cómo debe actuar una persona, o qué debe hacer en este momento.)

3) Discerning of spirits - the ability to see right into the root of what is behind things that are happening.

It enables us to see the motivations of people; it enables us to see what the Holy Spirit is doing; it also enables us to discern demonic spirits.( 3) Discernimiento de los espíritus: la capacidad de ver directamente en la raíz de lo que está detrás de las cosas que están sucediendo.

Nos permite ver las motivaciones de las personas; nos permite ver lo que el Espíritu Santo está haciendo; También nos permite discernir espíritus demoníacos.)

Then there are 3 gifts of utterance - where something is spoken.

1) The word of prophesy, an inspired something, words from God.

2) Diverse tongues
