What are they?

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
Fruit Description
Peace A lack of fear or anxiety – the product of our
reconciliation with God and the product of a mind that is
focused on God and not on circumstances.
Self-control A person exhibits this fruit when he or she can dominate
his or her passions and desires, is faithful to vows, and is
pure.
Love Agape – a love that looks out for the best interests of
others without concern for whether the love will be
rewarded or reciprocated. It is unselfish. It is proactive.
Forbearance (long
suffering)
An attribute of God that allows us to be patient with
others. It is the ability to be “patient cheerfully” in trying
circumstances. It is the ability to restrain from retaliating
against others
Joy Not transitory happiness, or happiness that is dependent on
circumstances, like its natural counterpart. It is first experienced in
our salvation and is permanent as we abide in God.
Kindness
Not weakness, but strength. A desire never to offend others or to
cause them pain. A desire to care for those who are hurt and to
encourage the broken.
Goodness
The opposite of being judgmental. Characterized by being slow to
criticize and by being jealous for what is good and truthful. This fruit
actively promotes that which is positive and beneficial to others.
Gentleness
This fruit characterizes a measured person: a person who exhibits
humility that is strengthened by strong convictions.
Faithfulness
This fruit speaks of extreme loyalty, and implies one who is constant,
who has the utmost integrity, and one who is dependable and
unchanging.
Gift Description
Gifts of Knowledge
Discernment of
Spirits
May imply the ability to detect impurity, or to
differentiate between the Spirit of Christ and the
spirit of Antichrist or the work of God from
demonic activity.
Examples of this gift in action:
Paul – Elymas, a child of Satan (Acts 13:6-12),
the Philippian woman (Acts 16:16-19)
Peter – Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-4),
Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:20-23)
A gift that will be needed in the last days (2 Thess.
2:9-12; 1 Tim. 4:1; Jude 3-4; Rev. 13:14)
Word of
Knowledge
The ability to speak out a fact, either one that was previously
unknown or one that is an example of exceptional knowledge.
It is the granting by God to a Spirit-filled believer of some
special knowledge that will build up, fortify, and encourage the
Church.
Jesus (John 1:48; 4:18; 11:4)
Elisha (2 Kings 5:25; 6:8-12)
Samuel (1 Samuel 9:15-16; 10:2, 21-22).
Word of
Wisdom
The ability to apply knowledge to a specific need. The practical
use of wisdom.
Gifts of Signs, Wonders, and Miracles
Faith
Although faith is necessary for salvation (Rom. 1:17; Eph.
2:8), the faith that is a spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12 is a
special gift of the Holy Spirit.
It is the faith to turn vision into reality, and which will inspire
others to believe in and to trust God more.
Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11)
Healings
The use by God of people with faith to believe in the
healing of the sick.
Can be through the laying on of hands (Mark 8:22-25) or
by the speaking of words of healing (Acts 9:40).
Can be used for physical healing, healing of emotional
scars, grief, and relationships.
Pray “according to your will,” not “if it be your will.”
Working of Miracles A miracle is a sign from God that He is still on the throne.
It speaks of His omnipotence.
Jesus at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee (John
2), the Apostles after Pentecost (Acts 2:43; 5:12).
Usually, if not always, the working of a miracle opens the
door for evangelism (Acts 5:12-16).
Speaking Gifts
Tongues
A message from God, through the Spirit, in an
unintelligible language. A manifestation of the Holy
Spirit’s presence in the life of a believer or in the Church.
The use of the gift of tongues is not discouraged, but is
inferior to the gift of prophecy, which requires no
interpretation (1 Cor. 14:1-5). Distinguished from praying
in tongues, which is for private prayer.
Interpretation of
Tongues
Used in conjunction with the public use of tongues.
The purpose is to clarify the message in tongues so that
all in the Church may benefit (1 Cor. 14:5).
Can be interpreted by the one who gave the message in
tongues (1 Cor. 14:13) or by someone else present (1
Cor. 12:10, 30; 14:5).
The message could be to God (praise?) (1 Cor. 14:2) or
could be revelation, prophecy, a word of knowledge, or
teaching (1 Cor. 14:6).
Prophecy The ability to speak the message of God in the
immediate context.
The power and calling to act as God’s mouthpiece.
The gift of prophecy has two primary goals:
Forthtelling – to encourage, build up, edify, rebuke,
correct, challenge.
Foretelling – to instruct people about the future and to
prepare them for it.
