What are your gifts of the Holy Spirit as a Christian

Post Reply New Topic

Thank you Scotia, I did have a bit of a rough few days with overwhelming issues, perhaps taking on a bit too much and I was feeling a sense of despair with that as I feel sensory issues and I have quite severe ones can force me at times to act in a manner I wouldn't want and I feel is not pleasing enough. When this happens like in a meltdown you can feel like a bit all is lost sort of thing until you get yourself together. This happened and I heard something in my mind speak and say-we will seperate you from your conditions and today processing that it really helps me through this and strenghtens me. So God will seperate us from our conditions and like it is clear in Psalm 139 as well. We did a Easter group on Sunday and it was said that God is a God of laughter and good humor as well and that helps me as well. I hope that life is treating you well.

Regards David Derbyshire who I mentioned before about his work on Spirituality and neurodiversity. He has a website called Autism hereos. I did email him to ask if any Zoom groups were coming back and he sent me this so a bit unrelated but may be one for people to check out as well.

I apologise for not responding sooner. Unfortunately, there are currently no plans for more Neurodiverse Spirituality Zoom sessions. However, as part of my work with autistic individuals, I am developing a blog for the Autistic Heroes website. In this blog, I occasionally discuss spirituality, including this post on Mindfulness and Mantra Meditation, for example. Please feel free to check the blog regularly, as I aim to add a new post each week. Here is the link to the blog: https://autistic-heroes.com/blog/

Today I was just thinking how extraordinary the Lord Jesus was. His hearing/audio appeared to me to be perhaps extraordinary to hear the Devil speak to him when was in the Garden of Getheseme as well. I am very audio sensory as well and have scans of my head which says so as well. How extraordinary was the Lord.

I was thinking about this today again. I have thought about this in the past and it came to my mind again. The Holy Spirit has many roles-it can be an advocate, consellor, comforter and more. This is often given to a Christian when they are baptised the Holy Spirit.

Moving on from talking about gifts. i thought I would mention this. At times when I have been overwhelmed in the body and trying to recover it has felt like there has been different sensations of temperture around me liking turning cold and it has liked helped me to recover more easily. It is like almost a help and I started to wonder if the Holy Spirit could be helping me to recover and a part of God's plan for helping someone with autism. I did mention this to someone and they said it could be like flight or fight. I don't know but I found it interesting. Mention this to some people and they might not understand. It is interesting again to me, but you don't want to study yourself like a lab rat but just to live your life as best as you can with it.

Those of you who are in the UK-the Songs of Praise this Sunday the theme is on neurodiversity just as a heads for some of you as well.

As I said in December last year -
