Some have rejected them out of fear. Others have pursued them without biblical balance. In the process, both the power and the purpose of the Holy Spirit have often been misunderstood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Gifts of the Spirit: What the Holy Spirit Gives, and Why\u003c\/b\u003e is a Scripture centered journey through the biblical teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Rather than relying on tradition, denominational bias, or emotional experience, Brian Worthing leads readers back to the Word of God to discover what the Bible actually says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with God's promises in the Old Testament and culminating in the life of the New Testament church, this book explores the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and each of the nine spiritual gifts described in 1 Corinthians 12. Along the way, readers will examine difficult questions with honesty, study the original biblical languages in an accessible way, and learn how to recognize both genuine ministry and counterfeit manifestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a book that simply explains spiritual gifts. It is a call for believers to faithfully steward them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside you will discover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The biblical foundation for the gifts of the Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The difference between spiritual gifts, natural talents, ministries, and church offices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- A careful study of the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, discerning of spirits, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, tongues, and interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What Scripture teaches about the baptism with the Holy Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- How to evaluate modern claims in light of God's Word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Why love, humility, holiness, and spiritual maturity must always accompany spiritual power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Practical guidance for using spiritual gifts within the local church in a biblical and orderly way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Why the gifts are given and why the fruit of the Spirit is just as essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten from a Pentecostal conviction with an inductive approach to Scripture, this book presents differing viewpoints fairly before examining them through the biblical text. Whether you have questions about cessationism, continuationism, tongues, prophecy, healing, or the role of the Holy Spirit today, you will find thoughtful answers rooted in Scripture rather than sensationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, one truth remains constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGifts are given. Fruit is grown.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod never intended His people to choose between spiritual power and Christlike character. He desires both. The same Holy Spirit who empowers believers for ministry also transforms them into the image of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a new believer, a Bible study leader, a pastor, or a lifelong student of God's Word, this book will help you better understand the Holy Spirit, faithfully exercise the gifts He gives, and grow into the disciple God has called you to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReceive the gifts with open hands.
