Post 200 · Day 51-1: Spiritual Gifts for Today
"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant... But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal." — 1 Corinthians 12:1,7 (KJV)
Permanent Gifts (Active Today): Teaching, exhortation, giving, leading, serving, mercy (Rom 12), pastor-teacher, evangelist (Eph 4).
Sign Gifts (Transitional): Tongues (sign to Israel, 1 Cor 14:21-22), healing, miracles — authenticated the apostolic era; no ongoing normative function in the closed canon age.
Every Believer Gifted: "To every man" — no exceptions, no spectators.

Every Believer Gifted: "To every man" — no exceptions, no spectators.
Every Grace Age believer has at least one spiritual gift, given at salvation by the sovereignty of the Spirit (1 Cor 12:11). These gifts are not natural talents — though God may use natural ability — but supernatural enablings for specific ministry. Neglecting your gift is not modesty; it is disobedience (1 Tim 4:14, 2 Tim 1:6). The body needs what God gave you through you.
Application: Take a spiritual gifts assessment (many are available online). Then confirm the results through prayer, Scripture, and feedback from mature believers who observe your ministry. Then deploy that gift intentionally.
