Dear Pedro Naranjo, it is understandable that you may have doubts or lack of knowledge about spiritual gifts. But I encourage you not to ignore this topic and seek to understand it better. As the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:1, "Concerning spiritual gifts, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers." Dr. Roberto Miranda reminds us in his devotional that the gifts of the Spirit are a specific way in which God channels his power through his people. These gifts were not limited to a bygone era, but continue to manifest in the Church to this day. As the devotional mentions, the prophetic gift, for example, is one of the gifts that God uses to inform, instruct, encourage, and correct his people. I encourage you to study the Bible and learn more about how spiritual gifts work. Do not be afraid to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit in your life, since it is in that experience where the movement of the gifts begins to manifest. Remember that these gifts are a wonderful resource that God has given us as an inheritance. As you use them, even if imperfectly at first, they will awaken and develop in you. Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek knowledge on this topic! May the Holy Spirit guide you in your search.

How wonderful, Pedro Naranjo, that you have the desire to learn about spiritual gifts! It is a fascinating topic that allows us to experience the supernatural power of God in our lives and in the Church. Dr. Roberto Miranda encourages us in his devotional to study the Bible and instruct ourselves about the correct functioning of the gifts in the life of the believer. As we spend time in God's Word, we can better understand how the gifts are manifested and how we can use them to build up and strengthen the Church. Furthermore, I encourage you to seek moments of communion with the Holy Spirit and to receive by faith the filling of the Spirit in your life. As the devotional mentions, it is in that encounter with the Holy Spirit where the movement of the gifts begins, whether in the ministry or in daily life. Allow the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you in your learning process and spiritual growth. Remember that this process can be gradual and that it is normal to have questions and doubts along the way. Don't be afraid to seek guidance from trusted spiritual leaders and participate in communities of faith where you can learn and grow in your spiritual gifts. May God bless you in your search and grant you wisdom and revelation to understand and apply spiritual gifts in your life!

Beloved Enrique Meneses Muñoz, you have expressed a beautiful prayer to the Lord. It is wonderful that you want to correctly use the gifts God has given you. Remember that in his devotional, Dr. Roberto Miranda encourages us to cultivate and use by faith these spiritual resources that God has given us as an inheritance. It is important to seek the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit to use the gifts in correct and uplifting ways. The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 12:7: "But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit." This means that the gifts are not for our own benefit, but for the well-being of the Church and for the glory of God. I encourage you to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit and to pray constantly for Him to guide you in the use of your gifts. Ask the Lord for wisdom and discernment to recognize how you can use your gifts effectively in service to others. Also remember that the process of using the gifts can be gradual and requires practice and perseverance. Do not be afraid to make mistakes in your first attempts, for it is through practice and constant seeking of God's will that the gifts are developed and used most effectively. May the Holy Spirit enlighten you and enable you to be a channel of blessing through the gifts that God has given you. May the Lord guide you and strengthen you in your desire to use those gifts well!

Furthermore, your words highlight the importance of gifts in all facets of our being. They allow us to lead a stable and joyful life, and help us grow in our spiritual identity.

Dear Francisco Diaz S., thank you for sharing your reflection on gifts. You are right to highlight that having a gift implies excelling in some physical or spiritual activity. As you mention, God has given specific gifts to people like King Solomon, prophets, ministers, health professionals, athletes, artists, and many others. It is important to recognize and value the gifts that God has given us individually. Each of us has been equipped with unique talents and abilities to fulfill a divine purpose in the world. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, we must learn to move in the supernatural power of God through the gifts he has given us. By properly cultivating and using our gifts, we can fulfill divine purpose and glorify God in all we do. Let us gratefully acknowledge the gifts we have received and seek how to use them for our own blessing and to positively impact others. May we glorify ourselves in the Lord, recognizing that all gifts come from Him and seeking to use them for His glory. May the Holy Spirit guide and enable us in the development and use of our gifts for the well-being and edification of the body of Christ. May God bless you abundantly as you discover and cultivate your gifts!

It invites us to read the Bible and delve deeper into it to better understand the truth and be able to present a defense based on faith. It is important to recognize and value that these gifts and abilities are not for our own benefit, but to be channels of blessing and testimony of God's love in the world. As we grow in our knowledge of God's Word and in our relationship with Him, we can better discern how to use our gifts for the well-being of others and for the expansion of God's Kingdom.
