Subject: I Cor 12:7 |
Bible Note: God bless. One thing important to see is that the verse 1 Corinthians 12:11 says: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. The phrase severally is from the greek word: idios - meaning one's own or his own . Thus all these manifestations of the spirit (nine) are divided to every man his own as he wills. God doesn't control you - or possess you, but you by the freedom of your will decide when you are going to manifest the spirit which verse 7 says: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. |
