In this teaching, the speaker outlines a step‑by‑step process for believers who are uncertain about their spiritual gift. First, they advise praying for God to reveal the gift, noting that personal passion often points to purpose and can be a clue. After a perceived revelation, the speaker stresses examining motives to avoid using the gift for ego, status, or power, emphasizing that gifts are meant for service. Once the gift is confirmed, the believer is encouraged to step out in faith and practice the gift—laying hands for healing, speaking in tongues, or prophesying. For prophetic gifts, the speaker recommends sharing the message with a mature believer for accountability and checking its accuracy against daily experience and Scripture. The overall tone is instructional and encouraging, aiming to help listeners discover, guard, and activate their spiritual gifts responsibly.

Chapters

What do you do if you don't know what your spiritual gift is? First, ask God to begin to reveal it to you. And here's a tip for you. Your purpose is often linked with your passion. God usually places a desire for a specific gift in you to draw you toward that gift. But as I said, this is something you have to pray through. Now, once you've determined what your spiritual gift is, check your motives, because the flesh can destroy the influence of the Holy Spirit in your life. Make sure you're not using it for ego's sake or to be perceived as special or because you wanna gain influence and power within the church culture. Remember, he gives us these gifts so that we may serve one another. And then once you believe that the Holy Spirit has spoken to you about a particular gift, step out in faith and start to see the demonstration of his power. If you believe he's given you the gift of healing, go lay hands on the sick. If you believe that he's given you the gift of tongues or tongues interpretation, make use of that, but you're gonna have to be the one who opens your mouth. If you believe God has given you the gift of prophecy, prophecy, share this with a mature believer and let them help you walk through this process. Share with them what you believe God is speaking and check the accuracy, of course, in everyday experience and most importantly with the word of God.
