Episode 7: Learning to use your Spiritual Gifts
Description
Did you know God has uniquely gifted you?
Do you know He has given you spiritual gifts?
Do you know that God has given you talents and abilities to use to help build the church and community where you’re at RIGHT NOW? The season you’re in right now has a purpose. Did you know your story and past experiences can be powerful?
Many have asked WHY am I going through this???? God has used past experiences to help others going through similar circumstances now to help walk through it with them.
God not only knows you completely and loves you more than you’ll ever know, he has given you gifts and talents to help you share God’s love with others.
In this episode, Jessica encourages you to ask God all of these questions first. After you've talked to God, Jessica talks about the SHAPE test which is a practical way for you to see the gifts and talents that God has given you to use right now.
SHAPE:
Spiritual Gifts
Heart (things you’re passionate about)
Personality
Experiences
Once you’ve spent time praying, asking God and then gained better insight from the SHAPE test, offer all of it back to God.
Jessica had found her spiritual gifts were encouragement, faith, mercy and shepherding. She loved making people smile, blessing people with good gifts, and finding hidden gems at a great price. As she kept offering all of who she was to God, the idea of Ripple Boxes kept coming up. God is using Jessica’s gift, talents, abilities, and past experiences to help Christians spread hope and light in their communities.
When you offer your gifts, talents and all of you to God he may ask you to do small things that cause ripples: give a hug to someone, pray for this friend, smile at a stranger, etc. It doesn’t need to be huge things but daily ask God what He wants you to do with everything He’s given you. Then, walk in obedience.
