Spiritual Gifts (For Teens)
Do I have any?
|
Yep, If you are a Christian, you can be certain you do! Even if you don't know what they are yet. It doesn't matter how old you are., we all have spiritual gifts when we become Christians. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts and lives and we are blessed with Spiritual Gifts from God.
Christ calls us to be parts of his body and use our spiritual gifts.
1Cor.12 12-14 "For example, the body is one unit and yet has many parts. As all the parts form one body, so it is with Christ."
You may say "I don't have any spiritual gifts!" To that, I say, you just aren't aware of them yet. They just don't come up and bite you! You have to look at your strengths and what your passions are. I mean your REAL PASSIONS

The spiritual gifts are outlined in the bible in Eph. 4-11, Rom.12 3-7 and 1 Cor. 12 1-2, 28.
Ministry, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Service, Giving, Leadership, Mercy, Helper, Administrator, Wisdom, Knowledge, Discernment, Speaking in Tongues, Interpretation, Faith, Healing and Miracles.
I would say there is something there that you can relate to. There is a link on my link page where you can go to take a test to find out what you spiritual gifts are...but right now, think about what turns you on, what do you get passionate about (Besides video games, girls, boys, etc!!!!)
Do you like to pray? (faith) Are you a faithful person? (faith) Do you like to get up and speak in front of people? (Evangelist, pastor,teacher) When you are around certain people, do you get a gut feeling that they are either telling the truth or being dishonest? (discernment), Do you like to explain things to others so that they will understand? (teacher), Are you good with computers and administration? (administration).....
Do you get my meaning????

Yes, Jesus is calling you to put your gifts to use! That is why you have them.
Another good way to use your gifts is missions. Many churches go on mission trips to Mexico etc. and in poor areas in the United States. They go to build houses, fix plumbing, put on roofs, etc, and teach you how to do it before you go.
Habitat for Humanity is another way to give back to your community. The point is that you give to your fellow human beings! That is what Jesus did in his day and would want you to do today!
How can you tell that Jesus is wanting you to do this? Do you ever feel a longing in your heart to help others..but don't know how? That is Jesus calling you.
Remember this, if you have the desire, without a doubt, Jesus will provide the way!!
Here are a couple of books that might be helpful for you to discover your very own spiritual gifts.
