Understanding the Gifts of the Spirit

In every generation, God has graciously poured out His Spirit upon those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, empowering them to live, witness, and serve in ways far beyond human ability. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are not relics of the early church, nor are they reserved for a select few—they are divine resources for every believer to fulfill the purposes of God in the earth today.

In this book, Understanding the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12–14), Patience offers a comprehensive, Spirit-breathed, and biblically grounded exploration of one of the most vital yet misunderstood subjects in the Christian life. With clarity and reverence, she walks us through the Apostle Paul's teachings, unpacking the nine manifestation gifts of the Spirit, their purpose in the Body of Christ, and the indispensable role of love in their operation.

This is more than a theological study—it is a timely invitation to live a life fully yielded to the Holy Spirit. Patience masterfully combines exegesis with real-life applications, addressing the common fears, abuses, and misconceptions surrounding spiritual gifts. She also reminds us that spiritual power must always be governed by spiritual maturity, and that the gifts are most potent when exercised in humility, unity, and love.
