Practicing the Gifts of the Spirit
His father had been shot by the Nazis and Indiana Jones had to run the gauntlet to get the Holy Grail to save his dad. All he had was
an ancient script, a riddle, to help him get through the deadly traps that stood between him and the sacred cup. He made it through the tunnel of death only to find, on the other side, an impassible, cavernous cliff. How was he to get across to the other side where the chalice was safely ensconced.

All he had was the ancient script, his love for his father, and hope that he wouldn't plummet to his doom!
HE STEPPED OUT!
HE STEPPED OUT!
It wasn't until he stepped out that he discovered there was a bridge between him and the cave the prize was in. Certain death had been an optical illusion but now his eyes were opened. He determinedly crossed that bridge.
Practicing the Gifts of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit Charisms, is much like taking a step into the unknown. The good news is that our Loving Father has given His angels a command about you:
Psalm 91:10-12 10No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. 11For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.12They will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
Stepping out isn't easy or comfortable even if you know you are tightly tethered by angels. Sitting in fear isn't easy either. F E A R! False Evidence Appearing Real. This is why it is vital that one has a community of faith so they can live out their highest potential. We cannot live our faith in a vacuum. We need others to share with, who care for us.
To practice your gifts, it would be important to know your gifts. If you would like help in discerning them, please call the Abba House of Mercy and Prayer. We have a wonderful program that will help you set your faith on fire!
