Summary
The Bible tells us that we receive gifts on the day of our spiritual birth. We are charged with using these gifts to build up the body of Christ. If members of the body do not use these gifts for the common good of the church, everyone suffers.
In "Who, Me? Gifted?" Michael Youssef unpacks the gifts of the Holy Spirit one by one so that believers everywhere will experience fulfillment, spiritual maturity, and unexpected blessings through these gifts bringing ultimate glory to God.

| 0:00.0 | Psychology Today magazine claimed, or estimated, that more than 10 million Americans are practitioners |
| 0:07.6 | of some type of healing or another. As a matter of fact, they break them down, and break |
| 0:13.7 | down these groups, and somehow they lump the Christians together with all the other weird groups |
| 0:19.3 | like the metaphysics and the occultists and |
| 0:22.7 | the Shiazus and Eastern meditation and all of them kind of got lumped together. But it could be |
| 0:28.9 | part of the problem is, and the confusion in the mind of some, is that some Christians, when they |
| 0:34.2 | speak about healing, they often speak in similar language to those who are not. |
| 0:40.2 | They say that you have the power within you to be healed. I mean, putting man to be in the |
| 0:46.5 | place of God. That basically God is there to obey you. And that healing power is in you, |
| 0:53.2 | and you're the one who decides. |
| 0:55.0 | And when that happens, people get confused and to make a distinction between what the real |
| 1:01.0 | faith is all about which we have been talking about in this series of messages and how it works. |
| 1:08.0 | And some churches are claimed that only the pastor has the power of healing. And certainly |
| 1:12.7 | that's not biblical, as we have been seeing how when the Holy Spirit gave the spiritual birthday gifts, |
| 1:19.5 | he gave the gifts to the body. And different people in the body have different gifts. But I was |
| 1:24.9 | reading about one of those churches that believed that only the pastor |
| 1:28.1 | has the gift of healing, and there was an announcement, and the announcement went something |
| 1:34.0 | like this, no healing service this week due to the pastor's illness. All of the gifts are all for the body. And the scripture clearly indicates that the gifts of the Holy Spirit operates in the body, not in that super-duper stage walker preacher. So what is the problem here? And how do these churches really go wrong? Well, the answer is of |
| 2:05.1 | the most importance, and I hope you're listening carefully, because it applies to all of the gifts, |
| 2:11.1 | not just the gift of healing. The moment the glory of Jesus becomes secondary, the gift and its power become ineffective. |
| 2:23.3 | The moment the flesh and the pride enters in, the Holy Spirit goes out. |
| 2:30.1 | The moment the heart becomes contaminated with self-importance, the Holy Spirit power is quenched. |
