“[...]my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:4

I started thinking, “How can we demonstrate the Spirit and power of God?” I realized that there are 2 distinct ways that we find in the bible: the gifts and the fruits.

Gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12:4-11):

  • Wisdom
  • Knowledge
  • Faith
  • Healing
  • Miracles
  • Prophecy
  • Discernment
  • Tongues

Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25):

  • Love
  • Joy
  • Peace
  • Patience
  • Kindness
  • Goodness
  • Faithfulness
  • Gentleness
  • Self-control

Gifts, Fruits, and Power of God that Remains

Gifts are given “to each one individually as He (God) wills” (1 Corinthians 12:11). Fruits come by walking in the Spirit and are cultivated as you walk with Him. You don’t have to exhibit fruit before gifts are given. I’ve seen young believers walking around healing people in the power of God. I’ve also seen people who don’t believe in the gifts walking around in the great fruits. Which is more powerful? This is the wrong question. Both are the power and demonstration of God and should not be separated! We need to go after both! Walking in wisdom with love, discernment with gentleness, and prophecy with self-control. Paul understood this because after the gifting passage, he goes right into how to not use the gifts in vain by making sure the biggest “fruit” LOVE is cultivated and in which all others fruits stem out of. Our gifts will all be in vain if we do not cultivate the fruits, but when we use our gifts of the Spirit with the fruits, God’s power flows freely and fruit remains, grows, and multiplies!
