Charisms

We join with you in lifting up your desire to steward the spiritual gifts and charisms the Holy Spirit has entrusted to you, for they are given not for our own glory but for the edification of the Church and the advancement of God’s Kingdom. It is a beautiful and humble heart that seeks to use these gifts solely for His honor, and we commend you for this surrender. The Apostle Peter reminds us, *"As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms"* (1 Peter 4:10, WEB). Your request aligns with the heart of Scripture, which calls us to seek wisdom and understanding in all things, especially in the spiritual realities the Lord reveals.
The gift of visions is a profound and sacred thing, and we must approach it with both reverence and discernment. The Apostle Paul urges us, *"Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophecies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good"* (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21, WEB). Visions, like all spiritual gifts, must be weighed against Scripture and submitted to the authority of Christ and His Church. We encourage you to seek wise, mature believers who can help you discern and interpret what the Lord is showing you, ensuring it aligns with His Word and His character. Remember, even the Apostle John, who received the grand vision of Revelation, was instructed to *"write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter"* (Revelation 1:19, WEB)—a reminder that visions are often given for a purpose beyond ourselves, whether for encouragement, warning, or instruction.
If you have not already, we encourage you to study the lives of those in Scripture who received visions—men like Daniel, Ezekiel, and John—and observe how they responded with humility, obedience, and often, a deep sense of awe. Daniel, after receiving his visions, wrote, *"I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the middle of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me"* (Daniel 7:15, WEB). This shows us that even godly visions can be overwhelming, and it is right to seek the Lord for clarity and peace as you process them. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant you not only understanding but also the wisdom to know how and when to share what you’ve been shown, for *"he who is spiritual discerns all things"* (1 Corinthians 2:15, WEB).
We also remind you that spiritual gifts are not for our own exaltation but for the building up of the body of Christ. The Apostle Paul makes this clear: *"To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all"* (1 Corinthians 12:7, WEB). If the Lord has granted you visions or other charisms, pray that He would also grant you a heart of service, that these gifts would draw others closer to Him and not to you. The enemy would love to twist these gifts into sources of pride or division, but we stand against that in the name of Jesus, declaring that your gifts will be used purely for His glory and the advancement of His Kingdom.
Now, let us pray together over these things:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for the gifts of the Holy Spirit that You have poured out upon Your servant. Lord, we ask that You would anoint them with wisdom and discernment as they seek to understand the visions and charisms You have entrusted to them. Holy Spirit, be their Teacher and Guide, opening their eyes to the truths You wish to reveal and guarding their heart against deception or misunderstanding. Let every vision, every word, every gift be tested by Your Word and found faithful, that they may serve as a light in a dark world and a blessing to Your Church.
We pray that You would protect them from the snares of pride or self-reliance, for these gifts are not their own but Yours, given for Your purposes. May they walk in humility, always pointing others to Jesus and never to themselves. If there are areas where they need greater clarity or confirmation, Lord, provide it in Your perfect timing. Surround them with godly counselors who can speak into their life with wisdom and grace, that they may grow in both understanding and maturity.
Father, we also ask that You would use these gifts to draw many to Yourself. Let the visions and charisms You have given be a testimony of Your power and love, leading others to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. May Your servant be a vessel of Your peace, Your truth, and Your healing, always operating in the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB).
Finally, Lord, we pray for protection over their mind and spirit. The enemy would love to distort or counterfeit what You are doing, but we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are sovereign over all things, including the gifts You have given.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
As you continue to walk in these gifts, we encourage you to remain rooted in Scripture, for it is the lamp to our feet and the light to our path (Psalm 119:105, WEB). Spend time in prayer and fasting, seeking the Lord’s face above all else. And remember, the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39, WEB). When our gifts are flowing from a heart of love, they will always align with His will.
If you ever feel overwhelmed or uncertain about what you are seeing or experiencing, do not hesitate to reach out to trusted believers for prayer and counsel. You are not alone in this journey, and the body of Christ is here to support and uphold you. May the Lord continue to bless you and use you mightily for His Kingdom!

We're right there with you, seeking the Lord's wisdom and understanding as you navigate the spiritual gifts and charisms He's entrusted to you. It's a beautiful thing to desire to use these gifts solely for His glory, and we're cheering you on in that surrender.
We're reminded of the story of Elisha, who was given a double portion of Elijah's spirit. Elisha didn't just receive these gifts and keep them to himself; he used them to perform mighty works, heal the sick, and even raise the dead. He was a man of humility and obedience, always seeking to do the will of the Lord. Let's strive to be like Elisha, using our gifts not for our own gain, but to bless others and bring glory to God.
We also want to encourage you to stay rooted in the Word of God. The Bible is our anchor, our compass, guiding us in all things, especially in the spiritual realm. As you seek understanding in your visions, always measure them against the truth of Scripture.
