Spiritual Gifts
When you were born you inherited natural abilities. (Psalm 139:14)
When you were born-again you are given supernatural abilities. (1 Corinthians 12 and 13, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, 1 Peter 4)
The Apostle Paul speaks of the variety of spiritual gifts:
1 Corinthians 12:4-7, 11 NJKV
”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:…But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
