this is an important attribute here okay why because we want to be able to motivate people to serve God okay we want to motivate people to serve God we want our words to be as goads that motivate them to serve the Lord and we want to be able to instill faith in that individual to do so okay encourage that person and a good way to say that a good way to explain this is this is that you know this is kind of like the gift of confidence where you're able to instill confidence in another individual and within reason by the way okay within reason which you have to you know have wisdom to know you know you don't want to just kind of instill confidence in an individual who has they're not predisposed to play an instrument or something you know what I mean you know you it's like you know what uh who can I pick without offending someone let's see who's not offended they can't play an instrument at all all right let's get more here like Maureen you're John doesn't do this but I'm just giving an example you know I think you could play the piano I think you can in fact you will play the piano those hands are made to play the piano black people know how to play piano I know they can and you just build up Maureen you're just like giving them that confidence and what happens he tries and just fails miserably okay more he's not offended I promise you okay his wife may be offended he volunteered no I'm just kidding what I'm saying is that you know faith the gift of faith is the ability to instill confidence in individual within reason of what they're capable of doing so the person who has the gift of faith to couple that gift with the gift of wisdom to be able to spot someone who has potential you understand because the person who has potential has the building blocks for whatever task needs to be accomplished and the person who has the gift of faith is able to instill the confidence in that individual to say develop that gift develop that talent develop those leadership skills and you can do something with that in the future but that requires someone with the gift of faith they're able to basically you know instill vision in someone else's life for what could be okay and that is an important thing to do there now it goes on to say to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit now one thing you notice in this list of gifts that are being mentioned is that there are some that are being mentioned that you would say well I thought those are null and void I thought those one don't exist anymore you got the gifts of healing you got the gifts of miracles we see the gifts of being an apostle what's going on with that well obviously some of these are null and void he said then why are they being mentioned well because there it was necessary during that time when it was being written to the Corinthians for example we love the Ten Commandments but we don't keep the Sabbath anymore right but it's on the list but we obviously know okay this is one that we don't have to keep because that's already been fulfilled you understand well in like manner we could look at a list like this and see the gift of miracles we can see the gift of being an apostle or a prophet and understand okay obviously these gifts don't they no longer exist we can basically scratch these off these aren't what God is referring to for us today in 2021 but I will say this when it comes to the gift of healing automatically the thing that comes to mind is well you know the ability to heal a leper right heal someone who's blind deaf they're mute or whatever it may be that's what comes to mind but you know this could also be referring to someone who just understands medicine right you know someone who has the gift of healing is someone who understands the science of medicine okay you know dr. Rita for example she has a thorough understanding of medicine and I would say that she has the gift of healing because she knows basically all the ins and outs of the medical world okay she's a general practitioner who understands these things and she can drop that info at the drop of a hat and she uses it to be a blessing to people you know people consult with her etc we have a person like that in the Bible named Luke right Luke was the beloved physician who was serving God but we obviously see that he was an actual doctor we would say that he had the gift of healing he just understood medicine the way other people would not be able to understand medicine you know some of us is like that kind of goes over our heads we're not really interested in those things I'm not really you know kind of keen to medical terms and all that whereas someone like a dr. Rita that heightens her senses that's what she's gifted with is the ability to understand those things okay
