Were going to *continue* on the *subject* of the “*/Gifts of the Spirit/*.”
*Today* we’re going to attempt to *conclude* this *subject* if possible.
We’ll go into some other areas next week, but *today* we’ve *going to cover* the “*/Special Gift of Faith/*” and* *“*/the Gifts of Healings/*.”* *
*I.
In the past several weeks* we’ve *looked at the **/inspirational gifts/*, the *gifts that say something*, and that would be *Tongues* that are to be interpreted, the *Interpretation of tongues and Prophecy.**
*
*A.
We’ve* also *looked at* */Revelation Gifts/*, the *gifts that reveal something* and they are the *Word of Wisdom, the Word of Knowledge and Discerning of spirits.*
*1.
*Then *last time* we started on the */POWER GIFTS/.*
We already covered the */Working of Miracles/*.
*2.
Today* we have the *2 gifts* that I just *mentioned*, the */Special Gift of Faith/*, and the*/ /**/Gifts of Healing/*.
*B.
*Let’s look at */1COR 12:9/*
*1.
I want to stress* again that this gift, along with all the *gifts* of the Spirit are *not natural*, they are *supernatural gifts* given by God to the Church.
*a.
*I feel that the “*/Gift of Faith/*” is the */most powerful/ gift.*
(At least to the natural eye.)
*b.
*This *gift* is *provided to the Church*, so that *not just a miracle *will take place *but the miraculous* will take place.
*i.
*All the *Power Gifts* are very *closely related* to each other or you could say very *closely associated with each other*.
*ii.
*Just *like* *Prophecy*, *tongues*, and the *Interpretation of Tongues*.
*iii.
There are times* when something *miraculous* *happens* and you *can’t tell which* of the “*/Power Gifts/*” were *in operation*.
*2.
*Concerning the “*/Gift of faith/*,” the */Amplified translation/* calls it “*/Wonder-working faith/*.”
*a.
*The “*/Greek and English Lexicon of the NT/*” says, “*/Paul speaks of a special gift of faith that is the possession of a select few 1 Cor 12:9.
In this category he understands p. as an unquestioning belief in God’s power to aid men with miracles, the faith that ‘moves mountains’/*
*b.
Every believer* already *has faith*.
The Bible even calls “*saving faith*” *a **gift*.
*c.
*(*/EPH 2:8/*) Says, “*/For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: {it is} the gift of God/*:”
*i.
*When you *received the Lord*, it was a *free gift*.
Also saving *faith* came at that *same time*, which was *also a gift.*
*d.
*There is *faith* in a *general since*.
* e.
*Look at */MARK 11:24/*
*i.
*When you *believe God for something*, this is *general faith*.
*ii.
*You can *only believe God* *for something* *in His Word* or something that *He speaks to you*.
*II.
*There is a *different kind of faith* and that is the “*/Gift of Faith/*” or the “*/Special kind of Faith/*” also know as the “*/Wonder Working Faith/*.”
*A.
*When this */Special Faith/* is *in operation*, the *person* that is *operating it believes God in such a way that God honors their word* as His own and *miraculously* things *happen*.
*1.
*There are times that *people get* this *miraculous* “*/Gift of Faith/*”* **/confused/ with the **/general/* type of */faith/*.
*a.
*They get *confused* *because* (*/1COR 12:9/*) says that *faith* is *given by* the *Spirit*.
*i.
*Then they read in (*/V11/*) That the *Gifts* only *come as the Spirit wills*.
*ii.
That makes them feel* that they *can’t have faith* *for* God’s *promises*.
*iii.
This isn’t talking about general faith*, it’s talking about the “*/Special Gift of Faith/*.”
*b.
*There is a */big difference between/* our */simple faith/* and the “*/Special Gift of Faith/*.”
*i.
*In *referring* *to* our *simple faith* *Paul said* in (*/ROM 12:3/*) “*/That God has dealt to every man the measure of faith/*.”
*ii.
*(*/ROM 10:17/*) Says, “*/So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God/*.”
*iii.
This is referring* to our *general type of faith* and *that* our *general faith can grow*.
*c.
*But we can see that there is *2 kinds of faith, **/General faith/ *and the */Special Faith/* from (*/1CO 12:9/*).
*B.
*All right let’s look at *some examples* of the “*/Special kind of Faith/*.”
*1.
**/ACTS 5:1-5/*
*a.*
The *same* thing* happened* to his *wife*.
*b.
*This would *not* have *happened without the gift of faith* being in operation.
*i.
*We *never have* any *control over someone* else’s *spirit.
*
*ii.
*Only the */Gift of Faith/* could *cause someone’s spirit* to *leave* their *body*.
*iii.
*This *wasn’t* just a *miracle*, it was *more than that.*
*2.
*Look at */1KINGS 17:2-6/*
*a.
*Here we see an instance where the */Gift of Faith/* (or possibly the Working of Miracles) was used *for* *supernatural provision* during a famine.
*b.
*I’m leaning more to “the */Gift of Faith/*” *Elijah had to act on it*, but this was *something* that was* beyond Elijah’s own faith.*
*C.
**/1KING 17:17-23/ *
* **1.
*In the *case of raising the dead*, *3 gifts* are *needed* to be in operation.
*2.
*The */Gift of Faith/, the **/Working of Miracles/, and the **/Gifts of Healing/.*
*a.
*This is probable the *reason* that more are *not raised* from the *dead.*
*b.
Someone* might be *used* in *1 or even 2* of the *gifts* at the same time, But it’s *not too common* that *3* are in *operation* at the *same time*.
*3.
/1st/* of all, in *raising the dead* it takes */supernatural Faith/* to *call* that person’s* spirit *back *into* their *body*.
*a.
*Then it takes the */Working of Miracles/* to *raise* that *person up.*
They probably have *a number* of other *problems being dead.*
(*Brain* had *no oxygen* it would need repair or a miracle that there was no damage.)
*b.
*Then it would take the */Gifts of Healing/* to *heal* them of *whatever* they *died from*.
