In this segment of Jeremiah Tipton’s sermon “Don’t Overlook Your Gifting,” the speaker urges listeners to become aware that they may already be exercising spiritual gifts without recognizing them. He illustrates three common, everyday experiences that could indicate the gifts of prophecy (dreams that come true), encouragement (people naturally confide and feel uplifted after talking to you), and discernment (seeing opportunities or insights that others miss). The core message is a call to attentiveness: pay close attention to how the Holy Spirit might already be working through you, even if you think you’re merely “good at reading people” or “just lucky.”

Chapters

Many of you are operating in spiritual gifts and you don't even realize it's a spiritual gift. I'll give you some examples. Maybe you say, you know, I often have these dreams that just seem to come true and I can't explain that. Well, maybe that's the gift of prophecy. Or you might say, well, people just come to me all the time and they open up and they leave encouraged. And I don't know why they're drawn to me. I don't know why they're always telling me their problems. I don't know why they're always venting to me. That could be a gift of encouragement. Maybe you're saying, you know, I'm able to call things before other people see it, like maybe a new friend in the group. And you say, I don't know, hold on. That's not of God's Spirit. Everyone else misses it, you get it. That could be the gift of discernment in you, and you might just think you're good at reading people. So pay close attention to how the Holy Spirit may already be using you.
