Subject: how can i get the powers of the holy spi |
Bible Note: "The Holy Spirit does not give us "powers". He gives us gifts." All of the Holy Spirit is given to us as the "Unction to Function". He is the 'Linen Garment' spoken of in Esk.44.17,18. Jesus baptises with the Holy Ghost and with fire. See Acts 2. That still happens today. "The gift of discernment",...yes "the gift of understanding",...I think no. "the gift of teaching, or preaching, or encouraging, or serving...ect.....None of the these are gifts and serving is more of a fruit. "The Holy Spirit also empowers us to live for God No. That you do because you love God. The love you have for Him should be sufficient. "by guiding and teaching us what scripture says when we are reading it..... Yes. "He also give us strength to tell others about the gospel message and helps us remember the verses to share with others." Strength should be a "Wisdom" as to when to speak combine with what to say.."word of knowledge". Can you see why the baptism [per Acts 2] is so important? Nine Gifts: 1 Cor. 12:7-10 (KJV) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. Word of wisdom Word of knowledge Faith Gifts of healing Working of miracles; Prophecy Discerning of spirits Divers kinds of tongues Interpretation of tongues: Five administrations: Apostles, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, Helps. Three offices; Prophet, Priest, King. Hope this has been a "Help" to you. Ken |
