The word of wisdom, a revelation of wisdom beyond natural human wisdom that enables a person to know what to do or say.
The word of knowledge, a revelation of information for a person, group or situation that could not have been known by any natural means.
Faith, the kind of wonder-working faith that moves mountains and waits expectantly for results.
Gifts of healings, the many different ways and varieties of degrees in which God manifests healing.
Working of miracles, the demonstration of the power and action of God that goes beyond natural laws.
Prophecy, and anointed proclamation of God through an individual to encourage, exhort or comfort.
Discerning of spirits, a person’s ability to perceive what type of spirit is in operation in a given situation.
Various kinds of tongues, the languages, directed to God, given to the believer by the Holy Spirit but not learned or understood by the speaker.
Interpretation of tongues, the supernatural ability to express the content of what has been spoken in tongues.
Some call these the “manifestation gifts” because Paul used the Greek word phanerosis, meaning “an exhibition, expression or manifestation.”
The concept is like a water pipe through which water flows from a source, through the pipe and to a person who takes a drink. The pipe is not the recipient of the water, but only its conduit. The person who drinks the water is the recipient. In other words, Paul defined these as supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit at work through a believer.
This listing of gifts does not match our 1 Peter 4:10 reference since these gifts flow through the believer but do not become the possession of the person. Also, no one can dictate when the gift is to be operated; the Holy Spirit is the Source and the One in charge of the gift, working through an available and expectant vessel.
