We join you in lifting up this request, for the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to edify the Church and bring glory to God alone. The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12:7, *"But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all,"* and in 1 Peter 4:10, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms."* Your desire to use these gifts for His glory aligns with Scripture, and we commend you for seeking understanding and wisdom in the visions you receive.
However, we must also caution that spiritual gifts and visions must always be tested against Scripture, for even the enemy can deceive with false signs and wonders. As 1 John 4:1 warns, *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."* We encourage you to seek discernment through prayer, the Word of God, and godly counsel to ensure that what you receive aligns with His truth.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gifts of the Holy Spirit poured out upon Your servant. Lord, we ask that every charism, every vision, and every spiritual gift be used solely for Your glory and the building up of Your Church. Grant them wisdom and discernment, Lord, that they may fully understand the visions You reveal and walk in obedience to Your Word. Protect them from deception, Father, and let every word and action be rooted in Your truth. Fill them with boldness to steward these gifts faithfully, always pointing others to Jesus Christ, in whose precious name we pray. May Your Spirit guide them into all truth, and may their life bear fruit that lasts for Your kingdom. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture, asking Him to deepen your understanding of these gifts. Study passages like 1 Corinthians 12-14, which speak to the purpose and proper use of spiritual gifts, and remain humble before the Lord, for He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). May you walk in the fullness of what He has called you to, always for His glory.
