Spiritual Gifts

Joseph Smith - Lesson #9

What are some spiritual gifts? Doctrine and Covenants 46: 8 -33

Joseph was given the gift to translate, but he could only use it when he was "humble and faithful."
- We need to be worthy to use our gifts of the spirit.

We all have a gift - how can we know what it is?
- Read your patriarchal blessing - read it often, sometimes different times of life will bring out different gifts.
- Pray/ask
- Get an education, your classes can help you know your gifts.
- Other people can point them out - you can help others see their gifts
- Callings
- Understand we have a grand potential - if it doesn't feel like a gift now, develop it.
- Temple

It is our job to seek out and use our gifts

"If you think you have no gift, you have no faith."

Use your gifts to help others.
- We work together in one body, but all have different gifts.
- Each gift is necessary - we all benefit when others share.
