Adrian Rogers: How to Discover Your Spiritual Gift #2203
A spiritual gift is not a natural talent. It is a supernatural ability. To begin to understand what our spiritual gifts are, we must first and foremost make ourselves living sacrifices to God. We must voluntarily give Him all that we are and take our hands off of our own lives, which we now recognize do not belong to us -rather, first, belong to Jesus, and then to one another. We cannot be afraid to present ourselves as living sacrifices to him -as a people who belong to Jesus, we must stay put on the altar through discipline and devotion.
Only then is there a complete transformation -Jesus becomes our inner nature, working from within. We will never understand our spiritual gifts without the mind of Christ -a renewed mind. Only then can we know our individual spiritual gifts. When he renews our minds - we must think with it.
And then… begin. We do not have to know the answers before we begin to serve -just as one cannot steer a ship if it is not moving. No one has all the gifts -but every Believer has at least one. This is shared participation, and if we are not each fulfilling the purpose for which God put us in this Body, we are harmful and hurtful to it. So, we must begin somewhere -and learn to be busy with the faith we have, before it has a chance to grow.
