You Are Gifted

The King has gifted us for service in the body, and that alone makes us capable.

When you understand that God created you in His image, redeemed you by His grace, gifted and empowered you by His Spirit, and specifically chose you to serve alongside Him to advance His kingdom, your life will be forever changed.

I began to repeat a simple truth that transformed my thinking and my ministry. When you understand that God created you in His image, redeemed you by His grace, gifted and empowered you by His Spirit, and specifically chose you to serve alongside Him to advance His kingdom, your life will be forever changed.

Do you understand that you have been uniquely and specifically gifted by the Holy Spirit? Do you know what your gifts are? Are you using them through your local church to advance the kingdom here on earth? I think you will find this book both stimulating and challenging as we investigate the truth of God's Word concerning spiritual gifts.

Spiritual gifts are individualized endowments of grace from the Father, equipping you to play a vital role in His plan for the advance of His kingdom and the reaching of the nations. Thus the discovery of your unique giftedness is not an option. It is a necessity. God created you with intentionality, and He placed you in His body just as He chose (see 1 Cor. 12:18).
