    About this ebook

    Two enlightening books concerning dreams, visions, and spiritual gifts in one edition! From the library of Abundant Truth Publishing:

    The Spiritual Gifts: God gives the Church gifts to benefit everyone. The purpose of the gifts is not make us "spiritual," but to help us to serve and minister to one another in love. The operation of the Spirit of God and His gifts/ministries among believers testifies to the presence of God in the Church. In this book, we will take a biblical approach to examining and explaining the gifts and ministries of the Spirit, their functions, and how to recognize them in operation.

    Dreams and Visions: When Jesus made us citizens of the Kingdom, it came with advantages. As members of the kingdom of God, we are eligible to partake of the outpouring of the Spirit. The books of Joel and Acts declare that the direct result of the outpouring of the Spirit of God would be revelation. Men and women could receive and communicate by the Spirit of God; two ways this is done is through dreams and visions. In this book, we will discuss the various aspects of dreams and visions. We will examine the different types of dreams and visions; how to interpret dreams, and how to apply them to our lives.

      Book 1 – The Spiritual Gifts: A Biblical Explanation of the Gifts of the Spirit

      *****

      God gives the Church gifts to benefit everyone. The purpose of the gifts is not make us spiritual, but to help us to serve and minister to one another in love. The operation of the Spirit of God and His gifts/ministries among believers testifies to the presence of God in the Church. In this book, we will take a biblical approach to examining and explaining the gifts and ministries of the Spirit, their functions, and how to recognize them in operation.

      *****

      Chapter 1- Gifts of Revelation - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (I Corinthians 12:1 NASV)

      To begin our examination of the gifts, we will look at the gifts of revelation. The gifts commonly identified as such are the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, and the distinguishing (discerning) of spirits. They are designated as such because these gifts bring the believer into the mind of God. He becomes able to understand and see with the eyes of the Spirit.

      Word of Knowledge

      It is commonplace today for a believer to walk up to a brother or sister and say, I have a word for you. Oftentimes, the individual saying it has no clue what that means. As soon as we hear this expression, we think that a word of prophecy is to follow.

      How many of us have been disappointed when it was something we already knew, or they only told us something that we should do? This was because they did not realize they had no word of prophecy, but only a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom.

      The word of knowledge is a gift where the Spirit of God reveals facts about individuals and situations from the mind of God. I believe we all have experienced this gift in one form of another. Many times when you know something is going to happen or when you just know something about an individual or situation without any outside influence; it is usually a manifestation of this gift.

      When we consider the gifts of the Spirit, we feel that when God reveals something that it should be extraordinary. However, we have numerous examples in scripture where God would reveal common things to His people. Therefore, when this gift manifests today outside of a ministry setting, believers overlook it occasionally.

      God reveals common things through the word of knowledge. He reveals facts about certain situations. Facts revealed through the word of knowledge may deal with things in the past and present. Let us now examine the operation of this gift in scripture.

      At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people. And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. And
