Beloved, it is time to be built up in the Spirit.
I want My people to move in power and precision, being sharp and activated in preparation for the times ahead. I want you to desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit for these will continually strengthen and equip you for the days ahead. I will give you them in great measures this season. I am building My body up in Me to go forth as a strong army, mighty in Me. Therefore, desire the gifts, ask Me for them, and I will give you them enthusiastically and in great measures!
Activation: First, take a moment to read 1 Corinthians 12 and ask Holy Spirit to highlight the gifts that He would like you desire or to be sharpened in. Write them down then also add the gift/s you would like to have, then pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that you give good gifts to Your children. I ask You to give me the gift of …(insert gift/s)… . and help me to grow in ….(insert gift/s)…. I ask to receive them in great measures, in Jesus name, Amen.
Believe in faith that you have received them and watch how God grows these gifts in your life!
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit [the spiritual illumination and the enabling of the Holy Spirit] for the common good.
8 To one is given through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] the message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] the word of knowledge and understanding according to the same Spirit;
9 to another [wonder-working] faith [is given] by the same [Holy] Spirit, and to another the [extraordinary] gifts of healings by the one Spirit;
10 and to another the working of [a]miracles, and to another prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people], and to another discernment of spirits [the ability to distinguish sound, godly doctrine from the deceptive doctrine of man-made religions and cults], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
11 All these things [the gifts, the achievements, the abilities, the empowering] are brought about by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, distributing to each one individually just as He chooses.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 1 Corinthians 12:10 i.e. wonderful events or occurrences beyond human capability which manifest the supernatural power of God and fulfill His purpose.
9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake?
11 If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.
Matthew 7:9-11 (AMP)
