Outflow - Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The outflow of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the edification of the believer and for the building up of the body of Christ in order that God's Kingdom may be known and expanded in the world. These gifts are not natural talents but a supernatural empowerment that every believer can confidently expect. It is not a power that is subject to human agendas; instead it is an empowerment that is given by God sovereignly for His mission and purpose in the earth. In His humanity, Jesus was fully empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the miraculous. Today the Holy Spirit empowers us with His gifts so that we can live the incarnate life that points people to Jesus.
