50 Prayer Points for Spiritual Gifts Activation (With Bible Verses)
Key Scripture
"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee..."
2 Timothy 1:6 (KJV)
Introduction
Every believer has received gifts from God for the purpose of serving Him and building up the Body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are not reserved for pastors, prophets, or church leaders alone. Every child of God has been uniquely equipped by the Holy Spirit to fulfill a specific assignment within God's Kingdom.
Sadly, many believers never discover or develop the gifts God has placed within them. Some gifts remain dormant because of fear, doubt, lack of knowledge, spiritual neglect, or unwillingness to step out in faith. Yet God desires every believer to stir up the gifts He has given and use them faithfully for His glory.
The Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts according to God's perfect wisdom. These gifts include wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation, teaching, encouragement, leadership, serving, giving, mercy, and many others that strengthen the Church and advance the Gospel.
Spiritual gifts are never meant to promote personal pride or self-glory. They exist to glorify Jesus Christ, bless others, and accomplish God's purpose on earth.
These prayer points will help you seek fresh empowerment from the Holy Spirit, activate dormant gifts, and become a willing vessel through whom God can work mightily.
