“Manifestation Of the Spirit”
1 CORINTHIANS 12:7-11 NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE 1995
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
MANIFESTING THE HOLY GHOST
The Manifestation of the Spirit is important. It is how we contribute to the body of Christ and the kingdom of God by revealing God to help others. In other words, for the common good of all.
The Greek word for common good is Sumphero, which looks a lot like superhero! In a way that is what we are, superheroes sent to the earth from heaven to save the world!
Our superpowers are powered through the Holy Spirit, who is the true power working in us, in different ways. He is a hero with many suits and we are the suits and at any given time we must be ready for him to manifest in and through us, usually through one of these gifts.
