Holy Spirit is a person, who promises His followers, POWER.
He gives us our spiritual gifts and His power to dispense them to a dying world.
Everyone gets to play.
Everyone means every-one!
Every one means YOU!
Test every spirit to see if it is from God.
If it’s from God, it is good.
If it’s not good, it is not from God.
All things are for God’s glory!!
1 Corinthians 14:23-25
Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. 25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.
In His presence we are convicted of how great God is and how sinful we are and in need of a Savior.
When it comes to Holy Spirit the Church is made up of: believers. unbelievers. And the majority of us who are in the middle.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
A Charismatic wants to make the grace of God, in Holy Spirit, visible in our lives and the Body of Christ.
We all need to share our gifts with others. They are meant for every one.
1 Corinthians 14:26
26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification
1 Corinthians 12:7-10
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working 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 Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
