What are the GIFTS OF RUACH HA KODESH (/ HOLY SPIRIT) a.k.a SHKINYINYAH GLORY?

 

Romans 12:6-8 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

⁶ We have gifts that differ according to the grace that was given to us—if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; ⁷ if service, in our serving; or the one who teaches, in his teaching; ⁸ or the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who gives, in generosity; the one who leads, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

HOW ARE WE TO RECEIVE THESE GIFTS?

HOW ARE WE TO USE THEM?

ARE THE GIFTS FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT?

ARE WE TO BOAST ABOUT THEM AND SHOW OFF? HOW DO WE HANDLE THEM?

The Book of ACTS OF APOSTLES tells us more about the GIFTS OF RUACH HA KODESH. In fact, all the above questions are answered in that book of the HOLY BIBLICAL SCRIPTURES.

The following SCRIPTURES are useful to understanding THE GIFTS OF RUACH HA KODESH:

1 Corinthians 12 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Spiritual Gifts for the Body

12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be ignorant. ² You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed by idols that cannot speak, and you got led astray. ^[a] 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Ruach Elohim says, “Yeshua be cursed,” and no one can say, “Yeshua is Lord,” except by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

⁴ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Ruach. ⁵ There are various kinds of service, but the same Lord. ⁶ There are various kinds of working, but the same God who works all things in all people. ⁷ But to each person is given the manifestation of the Ruach for the benefit of all. ⁸ For to one is given through the Ruach a word of wisdom, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Ruach, ⁹ to another faith by the same Ruach, to another gifts of healings by the one Ruach, ¹⁰ to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Ruach activates all these things, distributing to each person individually as He wills.

¹² For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body—though many—are one body, so also is Messiah. ¹³ For in one Ruach we were all immersed into one body—whether Jewish or Greek, slave or free—and all were made to drink of one Ruach.

¹⁴ For the body is not one part, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot says, “Since I’m not a hand, I’m not part of the body,” is it therefore not part of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear says, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not part of the body,” is it for this reason any less part of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But now God has placed the parts—each one of them—in the body just as He desired. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now there are many parts, yet one body.

²¹ The eye cannot tell the hand, “I don’t need you!” or in turn the head to the feet, “I don’t need you!” ²² On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be less important are indispensable. ²³ Those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable, we clothe with greater honor; and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty; ²⁴ but our presentable parts have no such need. Rather God assembled the body, giving more honor to those who are lacking, ²⁵ so that there may be no division in the body, but so that the parts may have the same care for one another. ²⁶ If one part suffers, all the parts suffer together. If one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Messiah, and members individually. ²⁸ God has put into His community first emissaries, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then healings, helps, leadership, various kinds of tongues. ²⁹ All are not emissaries, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All do not work miracles, do they? ³⁰ All do not have gifts of healing, do they? All do not speak in tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? ³¹ But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And still I show you a far better way:

 

 

 

1 Corinthians 13 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

The Superior Way of Love

13 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels
but have not love,
    I have become a noisy gong
    or a clanging cymbal.

² If I have the gift of prophecy
and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains
but have not love,
    I am nothing.

³ If I give away all that I own
and if I hand over my body so I might boast^[a]
but have not love,
    I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient,
love is kind,
it does not envy,
it does not brag,
it is not puffed up,
⁵ it does not behave inappropriately,
it does not seek its own way,
it is not provoked,
it keeps no account of wrong,
⁶ it does not rejoice over injustice
    but rejoices in the truth;
⁷ it bears all things,
it believes all things,
it hopes all things,
it endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails—
but where there are prophecies,
    they will pass away;
where there are tongues,
    they will cease;
where there is knowledge,
    it will pass away.

⁹ For we know in part
and we prophesy in part;
¹⁰ but when that which is perfect has come,
    then that which is partial will pass away.

¹¹ When I was a child,
    I spoke like a child,
    I thought like a child,
    I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
    I put away childish things.

¹² For now we see in a mirror dimly,
    but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
    but then I will know fully,
    even as I have been fully known.

 

 

 

1 Corinthians 14 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Orderly Governing of the Gifts

14 Pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. ² For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to people but to God—for no one understands, but in the Ruach he speaks mysteries. ³ But one who prophesies speaks to people for building up, urging on, and uplifting. ⁴ One who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but one who prophesies builds up the community. ⁵ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy.^[a] One who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues—unless he interprets, so that the community may be built up.

⁶ But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you—unless I speak to you by way of revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? ⁷ It is the same for lifeless things that make a sound—like a flute or a harp. If they make no distinction in the tones, how will what is played be recognized? ⁸ For if the trumpet^[b]makes an unclear sound, who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So also with you with your tongue—unless you utter speech that is intelligible, how will what is spoken be understood? For you will be talking to the wind! ¹⁰ It may be that there are many kinds of languages in the world—and none without meaning. ¹¹ If then I do not understand the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner^[c] to the speaker, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me. ¹² Likewise with you—since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, keep trying to excel for the building up of the community.

¹³ Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. ¹⁴ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray in my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praises with my spirit, and I will also sing praises with my mind. ¹⁶ Otherwise if you give thanks and praise in the spirit, how will one filling the place of the ungifted say the “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he has no idea what you’re saying? ¹⁷ For you certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up. ¹⁸ I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹ However, in Messiah’s community I would rather speak five words with my mind, so I may also instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

²⁰ Brothers and sisters, stop being children in your thinking—rather, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. ²¹ In the Prophets^[d] it is written,

“By those with strange tongues
    and by the lips of strangers
    I will speak to this people.
And not even then will they listen to me,” says Adonai.

²² Therefore tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers—but prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. ²³ So if Messiah’s whole community comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and uninstructed or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy? ²⁴ But if all are prophesying and some unbelieving or ungifted person comes in, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all. ²⁵ The secrets of his heart become known, and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring, “God really is among you!”^[e]

²⁶ What is it then, brothers and sisters? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. ²⁷ If someone speaks in a tongue, let it be by two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret. ²⁸ But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the community but speak to himself and to God. ²⁹ Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others evaluate. ³⁰ But if something is revealed to another sitting nearby, let the first one become silent. ³¹ For you can all prophesy one by one, so all may learn and be encouraged. ³² The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, ³³ for God is not a God of confusion, but shalom.

As in all the communities of the kedoshim, ³⁴ let women keep silent in the communities, for it is not permitted for them to speak out. Rather let them be in order, as the Torah also says. ^[f] 35 If they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home—for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak out in the community. ³⁶ Did the word of God originate with you? Or did it reach you alone?

³⁷ If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command. ³⁸ But if someone does not recognize it, he is not recognized. ³⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. ⁴⁰ But let everything be done decently and in order.
