Text: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
We can have some great experiences, but if we don’t have the understanding of the experience, it does us no good. The same thing is true in the church. If we don’t understand the working of the Holy Spirit, our focus can be on a counterfeit spirit, instead of the real thing. We need to be very careful and discern the spirits. Anything that takes us outside the Word of God is not the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit will always be in control; not excessive, insane, crazy, and out of control. The Holy Spirit works to bring people under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He comes with TRUTH, to glorify God. He comes to confirm the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
We ALL have gifts and they’re not just for us. We are servants, used by God, to bless others. That’s what are gifts are for. . .to bless others.
The Holy Spirit brings all of our diversities into unity, which helps us to grow. True growth is spiritual growth. How are you growing in the things of God?
