Many of Christians today, and myself included, misunderstand the body of Christ, our purpose in it, and why God designed it to be this way. When I have a construed view of the Church then I will not be able to glorify God properly in my life. The body of Christ is a unique way that we can glorify God now unlike any other!

The only gift in this category that is still in operation today is the discerning of spirits gift. This gift from the Holy Ghost is very valuable in building up the body of Christ through accountability and protecting against false teachers and false doctrine. Do you have this gift?

The revealing gifts that are still in operation today are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, and faith. All of these are critical to the edifying of the body of Christ as they reveal God's wisdom through his word at the right place, at the right time, and in the right way. Do you have these gifts?

The miracle of salvation is something that we should never grow tired of hearing and thinking about! The Spirit of Christ permanently joins our dead spirit to give us new life and he literally takes up residence in our mortal bodies. This reality should impact every facet of our daily lives. Wow!

This mystery is of utmost importance - God was manifest in the flesh! If we get this one wrong we will get everything about God, Jesus, and salvation wrong and it will send us to hell! There is great controversy over this biblical truth, but there doesn't have to be any controversy in our lives about it! We can have great confidence because God specifically states, "And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..."

The seven New Testament mysteries are incredibly important for us to know and understand. God calls us stewards of these seven mysteries, and our stewardship of them will determine the rewards we receive at the judgment seat of Christ. Those rewards we receive at that time will be used by us to glorify God for all eternity! We better take heed!

This lesson picks up where we left off to go deeper into understanding why sign gifts (specifically healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues) are no longer in operation during the church age.

From Joshua chapter 13-24 Israel subdues the land, divides out their inheritance, settles in, and sets up the kingdom under God’s rule and authority. All along the way the enemies of God continue to counter God’s plans and purposes, and they will never stop. Salvation, entering into our land, and seeing major victories are only the beginning of our walk with the Lord! We need to heed these final take-aways to stay on-guard and on the offensive in the daily spiritual warfare around us.

In this lesson, we take a high-level look at all the spiritual gifts, and then we take a look at the gifts that are highly misunderstood - healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, and other sign gifts.
