Top Highlights

“Much harm has often been done, and the work of God grievously hindered, by unspiritual or prejudiced people judging and condemning a real work of God because it did not conform to their personal standards of just how the Almighty should manifest His power.” (Pages 67–68)

“Its manifestation is subject to the divine sovereignty, and dependent upon the Spirit-filled believer walking in unbroken communion with the Lord.” (Page 39)

“The very phrase ‘manifestation of the Spirit’ makes this clear (1 Corinthians 12:7). The Greek word is phanerosis, a shining forth.” (Page 15)

“They are panting for it in full view of a powerless church” (Page 22)

“It cannot be repeated too emphatically that this spiritual gift can operate only in and through the spiritual man, not in the carnal believer. This is in strict conformity with the principle of 1 Corinthians 2:14 and 15, that spiritual things are only ‘spiritually discerned.’ We have already noted in a previous study that it is the ‘other’ prophets who judge prophetic utterances (1 Corinthians 14:29). After all, this is only fair and logical.” (Page 67)
