My children, why do you seek
the gifts and not the Giver of the gifts? Are you confused about which one
deserves your worship?
My gifts do the most good when
I bestow them on those who do not grow prideful in them.
I bestow My gifts on whom I
choose. Not everyone can carry what comes with them.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4 Now there are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation
of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by
the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same
Spirit;
9 To another faith by the
same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To
another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of
tongues:
11 But
all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he will.
Ephesians 4:11-12
11 And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers;
12 For
the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of
the body of Christ:
