If you are not sure of your Spiritual Gifts, then I would invite you to download our FREE Spiritual Gifts test and workbook. I have written this 48 page workbook and offer it as a FREE download.
There are two kinds of tests. The first one is simply reading the various definitions and rating how you feel you are similar to that gift. The second test is a “forced-choice” inventory in which you have to choose between different actions, attitudes and passions. When scored, those that you related to the most will indicate what gifts you have. Simply go to www.layministry.com and download your FREE copy.
Please e-mail this page to others so they can have a free workbook too!

I really enjoy the devotionals each morning. I start my daily quiet time with the one minute devotionals.
ihave gift of prophecy,wisdom and singing help how to develop these giftings. i was just told that i have these gifts how do i activate and test myself that really i flow in these gifts. please reply.
Thanks for your comment. There are two types of “gifts” that can get confusing. One is what most people think of when they use gifts. It is a talent or ability. Singing for example would be a “gift” God gave you. The way you can develop that would be to increase in your practice, skill, and performance. Ask God to give you areas of service and use your gift to the best of your ability. Chances are it will be a life long gift that you can use. Teaching, hospitality, encouraging are gifts like this.
However there seems to be a second type. It is also “led” by God but in this case it is also fully empowered by God. For example, healing, prophecy, God given knowledge, miracles. These are “gifts” (given by God) that we have no way of doing by ourself. It seems that God gives these types of manifestations when He desires. However, that doesn’t mean we do not have any responsiblity with these gifts. You ask, “How do I activate or flow in these gifts?”
If I would have to pick a few things it would be: Learn, be available and try. First be a learner. Study, pray, seek God for wisdom. Find others that are doing the gift. Intern with someone. Be a student and seek God’s guidance and instruction. Second, be available. God uses these gifts for His purposes. He will direct your path. It is all about Him and His love for mankind. Go where He is working and He will show you what to do. Third, try. I could say, “Just Do it!” but often the “doing” doesn’t happen. You are using your gift when God asks you to pray for healing and the person doesn’t get healed! God is the healer and His ways are beyond our understanding. But I do know this, it seems most things in life are a process. God is committed to process and seeing these gifts grow and be used is a process. We are called to be obedient to His leading. He will act according to His will. And you know what? Things will begin to happen. Elisha watched and tutored under Elijah, Timothy under Paul, the disciples under Jesus. I really believe that we will know more and more and see more and more happen as we do more and more.
Finally, I would add, fall in love with God’s Holy Spirit. Pray, seek His guidance. Allow Him to guide you. The Holy Spirit is that part of the Triune God that Jesus gave us to do this. After all they are Spirit-ual gifts.
God bless you in your service for Him.

Mr. Ovitt,
I have been confused about what I experience. Since I was a teenager I can hear the angels sing, god tells to pray when someone is dying and I do at the exact hour of their death without knowing. I have dreams that almost always come true. And I can heal by the grace of god. Since my hospitalization I can speak in tongues. I look into someone eyes and have a sense of knowing. Yet I am not evil or practicing evil. I have been God fear all my life. I’m confused, because some say this is evil and others say that the gifts of the old testament are gone. All my life I’ve been taught the divination is bad and evil. Yet I can interpret dreams naturally. Please help me understand. E-mail me.
I would like to know if I have any spiritual gifts.
