In this lesson, believers are introduced to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, following their baptism in the Holy Spirit with the gift of tongues. The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of these gifts, explaining that they are given to all believers for the edification of the Church. Divided into three categories—vocal inspiration, revelation, and power—the gifts serve to strengthen, encourage, and comfort believers without condemnation. The lesson delves into the significance of speaking in tongues, both as a language of praise to God and as a supernatural message from God to man. It also highlights the value of earnestly desiring and operating in these gifts, guided by faith, hope, and love.

This session delves into harnessing the vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit—tongues, interpretation of tongues, and prophecy. Tongues empower believers with a divine prayer language, enabling both spiritual and understanding-based prayer. The Holy Spirit aids in overcoming weaknesses, ensuring prayers align with God’s will. Prophecy, a direct divine message, strengthens and comforts the church. Guidelines stress the orderly use of these gifts, highlighting the significance of interpreting tongues and evaluating prophecies through seven tests. Alignment with Scripture and glorifying God is paramount. The conclusion underscores the importance of waiting for confirmation and the Spirit’s inner witness before delivering prophecies, fostering edification, exhortation, and comfort among believers.

The lesson focuses on the revelation gifts of the Holy Spirit, namely the gifts of discerning of spirits, word of knowledge, and word of wisdom. These gifts enable believers to receive supernatural insight into the spirit world, discerning the presence and nature of spirits behind people or situations. The discerning of spirits aids in avoiding deception, while the word of knowledge and word of wisdom provide divine insights into specific facts or God’s plan and purpose. Examples from Scripture illustrate how these gifts worked together to guide individuals in their ministry and personal lives. The revelation gifts play a crucial role in preparing believers for effective ministry and guiding them in various situations.

The lesson on the power gifts explores the manifestations of God’s power through believers, encompassing the gift of faith, working of miracles, and gifts of healing. These power gifts work in harmony with the revelation gifts, emphasizing the importance of training and activating all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in every believer’s life. The gift of faith is a supernatural empowerment for a specific purpose, ignited by the revelation gifts. Similarly, the working of miracles involves altering or suspending natural laws under divine direction. Numerous examples from the Bible illustrate believers operating in these power gifts, demonstrating that all followers of Christ can partake in these manifestations of God’s power.

The gifts of healing represent divine bestowals of God’s curative power for those in need. Operating in tandem with other Holy Spirit gifts, believers employ discerning of spirits, words of knowledge, and wisdom to facilitate healing. Discerning of spirits unveils the root causes, often tied to demonic influence. Words of knowledge pinpoint specific ailments and guide healing, while words of wisdom shape effective approaches. The gift of faith emboldens believers for miraculous healings, aligning with Jesus’ model. The working of miracles empowers them to enact spiritual visions. Encouraged to embrace all revelation and power gifts, believers aim for a comprehensive healing ministry.

This session emphasizes the Great Commission and healing. Jesus assigned believers to preach the Gospel and provide healing, with signs and wonders following those who believe, including the laying on of hands. All believers are called to fulfill this commission, empowered by the Holy Spirit to emulate Jesus’ works. Initially given to the twelve disciples and expanded to seventy, it now applies universally. By embracing the role of miracle evangelism, believers can impact cities, nations, and the world with the Gospel, ushering in the kingdom of God on Earth before Jesus’ return.

The session underscores the healing potency of God, stressing faith and the Spirit’s demonstration. Drawing on biblical examples like Jesus and Apostle Paul, it asserts that Spirit-filled believers possess the same power. Activating this power hinges on faith’s switch. Using the woman with the issue of blood, it showcases how faith, action, and faith-filled words can unleash God’s healing power. By obediently laying hands on the sick and operating in faith, believers witness God confirming His Word with signs, showcasing His abundant power within them.

In this lesson, the focus is on the power of our words and how they can bring either destruction or life. By speaking the name of Jesus, believers can release healing power and see miracles happen. The authority to use Jesus’ name was given to all believers, and by faith, they can cast out spirits of infirmity and even speak creative miracles into existence. Jesus has entrusted His followers with the power to heal the sick and deliver the oppressed, and this power is activated through faith-filled words and actions. Boldly speaking the Word of God and using the name of Jesus becomes the switch that lets the power flow and brings healing and deliverance.

The lesson underscores the transformative impact of placing hands in faith upon another person, facilitating a tangible transmission of God’s power. It delves into biblical instances, such as the symbolic transfer of sin to a scapegoat and the Holy Spirit’s baptism. The analysis of Jesus’ healing acts through the laying on of hands illustrates its efficacy. Practical guidance for healing is presented, encompassing identification of needs, visualization, release of healing power, and ministering to large assemblies. The discourse addresses impediments to healing, such as doubt and unbelief, while emphasizing the significance of steadfast faith for gradual recoveries.
