The question to ponder is: Are we among those added to the list above? If the gifts are nothing more than a historical curiosity, they do us no good whatsoever. But they are for “you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call" (Acts 2:39 NKJV).
What is the common denominator among the above list of Christians who operated in the gifts of the Spirit? FAITH. We receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit’s power by faith.
Debbie and I have committed our lives to be counted among those who operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. How about you?
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 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. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 NKJV
