In this sermon, Pastor Jeff discusses the gifts of tongues and interpretation of tongues as part of their series on the Gifts of the Spirit. He explains that these are the only two gifts that emerged after Pentecost, while the other seven spiritual gifts were present in the Old Testament. The pastor emphasizes that speaking in tongues can manifest in three ways: as a language unknown to the speaker but understood by listeners in their native tongue, as a public message requiring interpretation, and as a private prayer language between an individual and God.

In a world of spiritual confusion, discernment is essential for believers to distinguish between God's truth and deception. This gift goes beyond natural intuition to supernatural insight into spiritual influences. Through biblical examples like Solomon and Paul, we see how discernment operates in real situations. The enemy is real and strategic, often mixing truth with subtle lies. By understanding spiritual warfare and equipping ourselves with God's armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Scripture—we can stand firm against deception and walk confidently in God's truth.

Revival begins with individual believers surrendering to the Holy Spirit, not waiting for a massive movement. True revival awakens Christians and transforms non-believers through God's power. The gift of prophecy—delivering declarations of God's mind, will, or knowledge—is available to every believer, not just special people. When we operate in spiritual gifts like prophecy, people far from God take notice. Learning to hear God's voice involves reading Scripture, paying attention to impressions, and noticing unexpected words or pictures that come to mind. By becoming yielded vessels for the Holy Spirit, ordinary people can spark extraordinary revival.
