Manifestations Of the Spirit

I have a great desire to share what I understand from a lifetime of experience and study of the Word on the subject of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I do not consider myself an expert or a ‘know it all” on any subject. I am just a servant of the Lord who is constantly learning and growing in the grace of God. I am a messenger of the gospel; a sower of good seed!I don’t want to sound like I am a novice in the things of God; to the contrary, I can hold my own when it comes to the Word and understanding the truth of redemption.Occasionally I have run-ins on Facebook with the religious “experts” who seem to take pleasure in letting everyone know that they know all things religious. Personally, I have no use for religiosity. I never have had for as long as I can remember, even before I became a Christian. They seem to be good at treating some of us like we are totally uneducated in the things of God. They will tell us all about the “sovereignty” of God and explain that God no longer does miracles, signs and wonders. When they start that sort of thing I tune them out. But when they attempt to persuade young Christians and lead them astray I get irritated and will do all I can to be a voice for good sense, showing by the scriptures the truth of redemption that we have in Christ.Recently I edited and re-published my book, “The Baptism in the Holy Spirit” and I have been teaching classes from this book. I have noticed that I have been injecting more teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, so I decided that it is time to write a sequel to help the people understand how they can have these manifestations of the Holy Spirit in their lives. As I write I am looking to the Lord to lead me and help me share points of interest in a practical way that will be easily understood. I want to help the person who wants to be a yielded vessel of the Lord to understand the workings of the Holy Spirit. This book is not meant or designed to be a deep theological discourse. I want to share in simple terms, showing from the scriptures examples of how and why the gifts of the Holy Spirit went into operation.
