The Speaking Gifts is a 2-part online course to help you:
Throughout the Bible we see the importance of the spoken word:
As the power of the Holy Spirit ‘hovered over the waters’ God spoke the world into existence
(Genesis 1)
‘Death and life are in the power of the Tongue’
(Proverbs 18:21)
[Jesus said] ‘for every idle word men may speak they will give an account of it on the day of judgement’
(Matthew 12:36)
When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples at Pentecost some of the first spiritual gifts to be poured out were those concerned with speaking out.
The amazing thing about the Holy Spirit being poured out at Pentecost was that the gifts such as prophecy were no longer restricted to the ‘anointed few’ as in the Old Testament prophets such as Isaiah or Ezekiel. When Peter preached to the crowd at Pentecost, he quoted the prophet Joel.
The disciples spoke in tongues, and Peter was bold enough to preach and teach like a ‘seasoned evangelist’
(Acts 2)
The Apostle Paul encourages us to ‘eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy’
(1 Corinthians 14:1)
‘I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, your sons and daughters will prophesy, you old men will dream dreams and your young men will see visions, even on my servants both men and women’
(Joel 2:28-29)
Since the spoken word is so important, wouldn’t it be great if there was a way of making sure that our prayers and words were more Spirit led and empowered, and in line with God’s will?
If you have a desire to learn more about that…… then this course is for you!!
In DFB&I, we teach from the Bible, and believe from many years of experience that God wants everyone to ‘have life in abundance to the full’ (John 10:10) as they learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit.
