In a world of spiritual confusion, discernment is essential for believers to distinguish between God's truth and deception. This gift goes beyond natural intuition to supernatural insight into spiritual influences. Through biblical examples like Solomon and Paul, we see how discernment operates in real situations. The enemy is real and strategic, often mixing truth with subtle lies. By understanding spiritual warfare and equipping ourselves with God's armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Scripture—we can stand firm against deception and walk confidently in God's truth.

Revival begins with individual believers surrendering to the Holy Spirit, not waiting for a massive movement. True revival awakens Christians and transforms non-believers through God's power. The gift of prophecy—delivering declarations of God's mind, will, or knowledge—is available to every believer, not just special people. When we operate in spiritual gifts like prophecy, people far from God take notice. Learning to hear God's voice involves reading Scripture, paying attention to impressions, and noticing unexpected words or pictures that come to mind. By becoming yielded vessels for the Holy Spirit, ordinary people can spark extraordinary revival.

A remarkable journey unfolds as Saya transitions from struggling under Congo's dictatorship to becoming a transformative peacemaker in both the United States and Africa. Through God's grace, he established the Good Friend ministry in Kikwit, Congo, serving albinos, teen mothers, and people with disabilities. This ministry exemplifies true peacemaking by addressing internal conflicts and challenging societal strongholds that create brokenness. The work continues to grow, focusing on practical needs like construction, water access, and medical supplies, while inspiring others to become peacemakers in their own communities.

The gift of faith stands distinct from natural faith, saving faith, and the fruit of faithfulness as a supernatural surge of confidence from the Holy Spirit. This divine gift operates beyond human possibilities, manifesting in moments when natural abilities reach their limits. Throughout scripture, from Daniel to Paul, we see examples of this supernatural faith enabling ordinary people to face extraordinary circumstances. This gift often works in conjunction with other spiritual gifts, leading to miracles and healing when believers step out in obedience.

Words of knowledge and wisdom are distinct spiritual gifts that allow God to communicate supernatural information and guidance to believers. While words of knowledge provide divinely revealed information, words of wisdom offer divine guidance about how to apply knowledge effectively. These gifts operate through various means including mental pictures, inner conviction, and dreams. They differ from psychic abilities as they stem from submission to God's will rather than personal power. Understanding and properly using these gifts requires humility, confirmation through prayer, and a focus on relationship with God.

The Holy Spirit empowers believers with spiritual gifts like wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, and prophecy to serve and bless others. These gifts are not permanent personal possessions, but rather manifestations of the Spirit working through willing believers. The Spirit determines how and when to distribute gifts, operating within the body of Christ for the common good. To effectively use spiritual gifts, believers must maintain a relationship with Jesus, remain filled with the Spirit, and respond with humility when prompted to minister to others.
