From OPTIMIST IBK Desk. "ARE YOU TRULY MANIFESTING"
From Optimist Ibk Desk "ARE YOU TRULY MANIFESTING" 1 Corinthians 12:7 ( REV ) says, “Now to each one [each Christian] is given the manifestation of the spirit for the common good.” Truly you may think you are manifesting, but a “manifestation” is something made visible, apparent, or evident in the senses world. Therefore, a manifestation of the spirit is something that is brought into the senses world via the gift of holy spirit. The only way to have a “manifestation” of holy spirit is to have holy spirit itself, and one receives God’s gift of holy spirit the moment he is born again. This means that today, in the Grace Administration, the manifestations of holy spirit are available only to Christians, not to unsaved people, who do not have God’s gift of holy spirit. We must understand this because sometimes manifestations such as a message of knowledge or a message of wisdom are treated as if they simply referred to great knowledge or vast wisdom. Knowledg
