1. How do I discover my spiritual gifts?
1 Corinthians 14:1 - Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

2. How do I connect with the ministry gifts of Ephesians 4?
Ephesians 4:11 - And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

3. When I pray I hear spiritual language inside, but I just can’t seem to speak it out. Why?
1 Corinthians 14:2 - For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

4. Does 1 Corinthians 12:30 say that not everyone speaks in tongues?
1 Corinthians 12:27 - Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 14:5 - Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy.

5. If I don’t pray in spiritual languages am I less of a Christian?
1 Corinthians 14:4 - The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
