  4. “Every man has his proper gift of God.” 1 Cor. 7:7 UY

  5. Only God gives perfect gifts — “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,” James 1:17 UY

  11. How does the Bible describe our condition without God? “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way,” Isa. 53:6 UY

  12. Search The Scriptures — Eph. 4:11-13 Why did God give Spiritual Gifts to Christians? UY

  14. Discovering spiritual gifts helps identify your motivations and abilities from a supernatural perspective.

  15. Instructions: Spiritual Gifts Profile Concerning the following statements, ask yourself how you feel about each one — How true is each statement about you? Simply respond with the numerical rating as follows: Avoid, as much as possible, a 3 "Sometimes" choice. Don't hesitate choosing 5 (Almost Always) or 1 (Almost Never). Your desire to be humble or not exaggerate may cause you to choose more moderate responses. This may affect your results. Try to be as honest and accurate as possible. • 5 — Almost Always true; • 4 — Often true; • 3 — Sometimes true; • 2 — Seldom true; • 1 — Almost Never true. "I tend to motivate others to get involved." Is this statement "Almost Always", "Often", "Sometimes", "Seldom" or "Almost Never" true about you? Try to choose the "5, 4, 2 or 1." Avoid choosing the 3 "Sometimes." Place your choice in the appropriate numbered box in the Numerical Ratings Chart. Notice the Scoring and Plotting Instructions and Example. UY

  28. 1 Cor. 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. UY

  29. “Everybody is somebody in His body!” Every member is a minister! UY

  30. Administration / Ruling — The Gift of Administration / Ruling is seen in those who either like to organize or delegate to others. In a word: Initiator Overuse: Expects too much Goal: Lead by example, not manipulation Scripture: Rom. 12:8, 1 Cor. 12:28; Acts 6:1-7 UY

  31. Apostleship / Pioneering Unlike Apostles of old, who actually saw the Lord and spread the Word from place to place, Apostles / Pioneers today have a clear vision to start new ministries where others may not. In a word: Pioneer / Visionary Overuse: Pushes too hard / Too much authority Goal: Build deeper and stronger Scripture: Eph. 4:7,11; 1 Cor. 9:1-2; Gal. 2:8-10; 1 Cor. 12:28-29 UY

  32. Craftsmanship — The Gift of Craftsmanship is evident in those who are very handy at making things. They have the unusual ability to design and assemble things. In a word: Handy Overuse: Too focused on work, and not on others Goal: Create things to bless others, not glorify self Scripture: Ex. 31:3; 34:31-35; Acts 9:36-39; 2 Kings 22:5-6 UY

  33. Creative Communication— The Gift of Creative Communication is obvious in those who enjoy performing or directing drama presentations. They love to express themselves and teach lessons through role playing and skits. In a word: Actors or Actresses Overuse: Dramatic expression that leads to self glory Goal: Teach lessons, rather than focus on talent Scripture: Psa. 150:3-5; 2 Sam. 6:14-15; Mark 4:2, 33 UY

  34. Discernment — The Gift of Discernment is evident in those who have unusual ability to see through a lot of confusion and pinpoint problems and solutions. They are mostly concerned about right and wrong. In a word: Listeners / Perceivers Overuse: Too critical or too quick to share Goal: Get more information before responding Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:7,10b; 1 Cor. 2:14 UY

  35. Encouraging / Exhorting — The Gift of Encouraging find themselves exhorting others. They are compelled to give advice. As counselors, they seem to often have steps-of-action. In a word: Encourager Overuse: Talks too much Goal: Apply truth, not create expectations Scripture: Rom. 12:6,8; Acts 11:23-24; Heb. 10:24-25 UY

  36. Evangelism — The Gift of Evangelism feel compelled to win souls. They seem to have the ability to communicate the gospel better than others. Their concern for witnessing to a lost and dying world is evident. In a word: Dynamic Overuse: Zeal Goal: Build disciples, not statistics Scripture: Eph. 4:7,11; Acts 8:26-40; Luke 19:1-10 UY

  37. Faith — The Gift of Faith is often found in those with the obvious ability to trust God in the most adverse circumstances. Every Christian has a measure of saving faith, but those with the Gift of Faith have a deeper dependence upon God and His Word. In a word: Optimist Overuse: Overly trusting and often proud of their faith Goal: Combine faith with works. Learn to be patient with others Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:7,9; Matt. 8:5-16; Heb. 11:1 UY

  38. Giving — Givers tend to be seriously concerned about financial matters. The Gift of Giving also involves the "gift of getting." Givers are sensitive to how money is spent and saved. In a word: Steward Overuse: The power of money Goal: Sincere stewardship, not financial harassment Scripture: Rom. 12:6, 8b; Acts 4:32-35; 2 Cor. 9:7-8 UY

  39. Healing — The Gift of Healing is evident in those with the divine power to pray and see people healed. They have unusual faith that God can heal anyone. In a word: Restorer Overuse: Teaching everyone should be healed Goal: Focus on God's power and not their gift to heal Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:9, 28, 30; Acts. 3:1-16; Mark 2:1-12 UY

  40. Hospitality — The Gift of Hospitality is that special interest in opening one's home for food and fellowship, or to just provide a place to stay for someone in need. In a word: Sociable Overuse: Take on too much / Get worn out Goal: Provide fellowship without sacrificing family time Scripture: 1 Pet. 4:9-10; Acts 16:13-15; Luke 14:12-14 UY

  41. Intercession — The Gift of Intercession is found in those with a passion to pray. They feel compelled to intercede on behalf of those in distress. They faithfully petition God on a daily basis for specific needs. In a word: Prayer Warrior Overuse: Neglect other practical needs and responsibilities Goal: Put feet on their prayers and do what needs to be done Scripture: Rom. 8:26-27; John 17:9-26; 1 Tim. 2:1-2; Col. 1:9-12, 4:12 UY

  42. Interpretation — The Gift of Interpretation is found in those who can translate what others speak in tongues. They have the unusual ability to glorify God through their miraculous interpretation of what would be otherwise unknown. In a word: Translator Overuse: Use translations to push own agenda Goal: Clarify what is spoken in tongues and build believers Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:10; 14:5; 14:26-28 UY

  43. Knowledge — The Gift of Knowledge is a supernatural revelation of certain facts in the mind of God, which gives instant and specific information that one would have no other way of knowing, except from God. In a word: Divine Insights Overuse: Make others feel inferior or ignorant Goal: Change lives, rather than impress others Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:7-8; 8:1b-2; Mark 2:6-8; John 1:45-50 UY

  44. Leadership — The Gift of Leadership, much like the Gift of Administration / Ruling, is evident in those who demonstrate an unusual ability to influence others. They seem to have an independent determination to challenge and direct others toward a specific goal. In a word: Dreamer Overuse: Too demanding and impatient Goal: Lead by example and willingness to be a servant Scripture: Rom. 12:6,8c; John 13:13-17; Heb. 13:17; John 1:45-50 UY

  45. Miracles — The Gift of Miracles is obvious in those who do powerful deeds. They have the unusual enablement to authenticate through miracles a specific ministry or message of God. In a word: Powerful Overuse: Expecting God to always perform miracles Goal: Trust God, with or without the miracle Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:10, 28-29; John 2:1-11; Luke 5:1-11 UY

  46. Pastor / Shepherding — The Gift of Pastor / Shepherding is obvious in those who really enjoy leading others in serving the Lord. Unlike the Gift of Ministry / Serving / Helps, this gift involves the motivation to lead. In a word: Leader Overuse: Takes advantage of other's trust Goal: Strong leadership, not manipulating the flock Scripture: Eph. 4:11; 1 Pet. 5:2-4 UY

  47. Prophecy / Perceiving / Proclaiming — Prophets / Perceivers today are not exactly like prophets of old. Old Testament Prophets spoke the literal Word of God. Today people with the Gift of Prophecy / Perceiving seem to have the same seriousness and straight forward attitude toward truth. In a word: Bold Overuse: Fighter Goal: Declare truth, not divide Christians Scripture: Eph. 4:7,11; 1 Cor. 14:1,3; 2 Pet 1:19-21 UY

  48. Serving / Ministry / Helps — When you think of Christians who serve faithfully behind the scenes, you think of those with the Gift of Serving / Ministry / Helps. They are interested in blessing others to serve the Lord. They love to help others. In a word: Selfless Overuse: Takes on too much Goal: Be a servant, not a martyr Scripture: 1 Cor. 12:28; Act. 6:1-3; Rom. 16:1-2 UY

  49. Showing Mercy — The Gift of Showing Mercy demonstrates genuine sensitivity to suffering. They are compelled to help people reduce pain. They are concerned more with the person, than the reason for the suffering. In a word: Caring Overuse: Too sensitive Goal: Wise insights, not foolish responses Scripture: Rom. 12:6,8d; Matt. 5:7 UY

  50. Teaching — The Gift of Teaching prefers explaining why things are true. While the prophet declares truth, the teacher explains the reasons it is true. Interested in research, those with the Gift of Teaching like to dig into seemingly insignificant details. In a word: In-depth Overuse: Digs too deep Goal: Reveal truth, not exhaust it Scripture: Rom. 12:6,7b; Col. 3:16; Jam. 3:1; 2; 2 Tim. 2:2 UY
