“HELLO, HOLY SPIRIT!”
Oct 13, 2024
But when the COMFORTER (Helper, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, He [the Holy Spirit] will testify and bear witness about Me.
John 15:26
Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities [GIFTS] the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this….
A spiritual gift is given to EACH OF US so we can HELP each other.
To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice [WORD OF WISDOM]; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge [WORD OF KNOWLEDGE].
The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing.
He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages [TONGUES], while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift EACH person should have.
1 Corinthians 12:1, 7-11 NLT
A spiritual gift is given to EACH OF US so we can HELP each other.”
