Holy Spirit Gifts?
(May 10, 2010)
I know some people won't believe in the word of God. There are Agnostic and Atheist. I am a Roman Catholic and God-fearing person. I am raised by my religious parents but I can tell that I am not that religious. 2 weeks ago I was baptized by the Holy Spirit in Singles For Christ here in (Sharjah) United Arab Emirates . I asked for the gift of Wisdom and Healing. However, I was talking to my cousin earlier and we were talking about love, life, and stuffs. Suddenly,something popped out on my head. I told her "Sis, I think you already received the gift you had asked for and I think it's the gift of DISCERNMENT without realizing it". Discerning of the Spirits is the supernatural ability give by the Holy Spirit to perceive the soul of a spiritual manifestation and determine whether it is of God, of the devil, of man of world. The gift of discerning is the supernatural power to detect the realm of the spirits and their activities. It is a gift which protects and guards your Christian life. People who receive this gift are lucky aside from seeing spirits,it is easy for them to sense if the person has bad or good intention, has a kind heart or evil part. I told her that I think I haven't received my Holy Spirit's gift. She was like "You already received it sis. It is the gift of WISDOM". I just realized that's the gift I asked for. I asked her if what makes her think that I have the gift of Wisdom. She said that I always listen to people's advices and I don't force things like what I want and wanna do, I ask for guidance from God before doing things. The Gift of Wisdom is seeing life from God's perspective. It is a supernatural perspective to ascertain the divine means for accomplishing God's will in a given situation. This gift involves having a sense of divine direction, being led by the Holy Spirit to act appropriately in a given set of circumstances, and rightly applying knowledge. This gift works interactively with the other 2 revelation gifts: Knowledge and Discernment. I also believe that my dad has the gift of MIRACLE. When he was young he found floating and dead on the sea. When I was 3 years old, he was shot by a holdaper inside the bus and when it was published on the newspaper and broadcasted on tv. My family were surprised because they say ARTURO and it wasn't my dad's name. Even in my dad's hospital room door it was written ARTURO. It was actually the name of my dad's twin brother who died at the age of 2. Creepy huh? I know that your FAITH won't leave you behind no matter what happen.

"But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another the working miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as he wills."
