Purpose Part 2 - To Go - Part B
We are not orphans in this world. Through the Holy Spirit, we have been given a Helper who dwells within us—not as a distant force, but as a personal presence (He is a person) with knowledge, feelings, and a will. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, we're invited to understand that the Holy Spirit has distributed spiritual gifts to each believer, not for our own benefit alone, but for the common good of the body of Christ. These manifestation gifts—words of wisdom, words of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues—are evidence that God's kingdom has come. Many of us have left these gifts sitting up on a shelf, unused and unexplored, when the world desperately needs to see God's presence through our lives. It's time for us to step into the ministry we were born for, operating in love and in the power of the Helper who lives within us to manifest God's presence here on earth.
