5. God heals our eternal spiritual sickness.
We do not need to question God’s willingness to heal us. We
need to focus on his ___________________ to heal.
A person with the gift of healing does not ___________________________

then leaves the results to him.
A good way to approach healing and the spiritual gift of healing is
that God wants us to approach him with confidence because of
___________ he is and not because of __________________ he can do for us.
2. The Gift of ________________________
Definition: “The special ability given to a believer by the Holy Spirit
to reveal God in a special, seemingly impossible way.”
We don’t need miracles to reach a lost and dying world. Our
changed __________________ is the biggest testimony that Jesus is alive.
3. The Gift of ____________________________

government.” – Kenneth Kinghorn.
This gift often means long hours of organization and attention to
detail while keeping an _____________________ that does not demand
recognition.
4. The Gift of Giving Aid
Definition: “enables one to ________________ needs and then to assume
leadership in the Christian community in giving aid to meet those in
need.” –Kenneth Kinghorn
