In this episode of When She Serves, Brenda and guest Janie Alford begin a three-part series on spiritual gifts by focusing on the manifestation gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:1–11, emphasizing that these are visible works of the Holy Spirit given “for the profit of all,” not badges of spirituality or tools for entertainment or profit. They discuss how the Spirit distributes gifts as He wills and why they must operate under Scripture, with discernment to guard against misuse, false prophecy, celebrity culture, and manipulative or fraudulent practices. The conversation defines and distinguishes word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues, including biblical guidelines for order in corporate worship (especially 1 Corinthians 14) and encouragement to desire and practice these gifts in the church and everyday ministry.00:00 Fake Prophets Warning00:52 Series Overview01:40 Purpose of Gifts04:04 Misuse and Discernment05:37 Reading 1 Corinthians 1207:30 Gifts as He Wills08:55 Word of Wisdom12:21 Word of Knowledge15:48 Gift of Faith19:53 Healing Gift Abuses24:31 Miracles Defined25:06 What Counts as Miracles26:34 Salvation as Miracle27:33 Gift of Prophecy29:24 Discerning of Spirits31:56 Tongues Explained34:16 Order in Worship36:05 Prayer Language Benefits39:30 Singing in Tongues39:54 Interpretation and Testing42:47 Gifts for Today44:59 Scripture Wrap Up45:39 Final Encouragement
