I think he shows himself in all, but most of all in The Sword Of The Spirit, because that is the Word of God. Sometimes we don't know what to pray, but the Spirit directs us the way to pray, what is in our heart. Yes, Sometimes for family members, one time for two old friends that I hadn't seen in awhile where heavy on my heart, then I found out there sister had died, I had know them since we were teens and the sister was in grade school, it made me realize that they needed that prayer.

It draws you closer to God, the only thing you think, know and feel is God. It sets you free, I feel happy, it makes you forget everything and puts me before the Lord.

The more time you spend with the Lord in his Word, Worshipping , Meditating the more you change into who God intended you to be. Yes, not as much as I was hoping, but I know I need to spend more time in the Word and Meditating on the Word, I also need to let go and let God be God and realize I have a savior who has me.

We need to abide in Jesus so we may get to know him more intimately, a personal relationship. Being connected to Jesus is to bear more fruit to grow fully into the person he wants us to be. Yes, I think it is accurate to define fruit as " souls saved " We are the fruit he is the vine, without the vine the fruit withers.

He needs to humble himself in order to hear God's voice. When we surrender to Jesus we are laying everything down and opening our heart, soul and mind to Jesus and is needed to able to obey.

The Spirit's voice is a small soft voice from inside, the Spirit's nudge or prompting when you feel the need to do something or go somewhere. I can slow down in my life more, stop worrying about what has to get done and spend more time at the Lord's feet listening and learning, to stop always being in a rush.

The Holy Spirit. I love my Quiet time with the Lord in the Mornings, reading my Bible, prayer and meditating. Reading my Bible slowly meditating more on certain scriptures.

He seeks time of prayer and alone time with his Father every early morning. I think he spends Quiet time with in the Morning because it is the only time when he can get quiet time, before he starts his day. He goes to the Father for guidance and direction each day, also to share with the Father what is on his heart. When Jesus walks the earth he is a man, he shows his disciples (leading by example) to minster through the power of the Spirit.

That is not how God wants us to be, we are to be humble not puffed up on ourselves. That it is all about you and not God. That they need to grow in the Word. As a whole I don't know, I love teaching children, helping people, I love to see people happy.

That we all have a spiritual gift, we need to learn to use our spiritual gift or we will be unfulfilled. Distributes the gifts according to his own will and plan. It is not our plan but God's.

Everywhere Jesus went, all through his ministry he was preaching and healing.Jesus felt such compassion for people. After Jesus ascension Paul, Peter and Philip all where preaching and healing throughout the country's.

Yes it is legitimate to use Jesus as an example, he showed us the gifts by example. All through the bible.

It could be a person leading a Bible Study, or teaching Sunday school, God gifts someone for his purpose. It does not have to be in Church, sharing Jesus with others outside the Church. I think they should pray, seek guidance from God, how would one become Senior Pastor if he doesn't have the spiritual gift to pastor?God is the one who gives these gifts.

I think the gift of prophecy is through the Holy Spirit is to show people the way, what will come, to help people the light in the darkness. I believe they are afraid of what they don't know. To speak with discernment and to have two or three prophets who should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said, be very careful in what you say and do.

Yes I do think there is Modern -day apostle's, there are ministries(one of which I have been following and been a part of as a partner for over 20 years) who the Lord has blessed and the ministry has grown very much, they lay hands on the sick, they teach they travel all over the world to lay hands on the sick and lead people to Christ. They themselves are lead and only do and say what the Lord enables. There is no other life for them 24/7 living the Word so dedicated, just as the apostles. I'm not saying they don't get to enjoy what the Lord has blessed them with, God gives, but they are always in Praise and Thankfulness, so full of Love. To me that is Apostleship.....maybe not to someone else... I know that when I listen to them..I realize there is so much I want to learn, you just want more of the Lord.

The gifts are to the body of Christ, they are to build us and strengthen us. It will result in a week church, will are not built up in Christ.

The Holy Spirit produces as we Walk in the Spirit, being Led by the Spirit, and Conforming to the Spirit.. Sanctification They profess with there mouth but have sin in there lives, they have to confess that sin, stay in the word, God will not give up on them. Yes they are saved, they need to keep going forward, keeping the Word in their eyes and ears. No, I do not believe that is harsh, it is true, you have to believe, have faith, live it and walk in it and people will ask what is your hope. Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

As we learn to walk with the Spirit as a way of life, we can break the hold that the flesh has had over our lives up to this point. Previously, the Mosaic Law was the believer's restraint from letting the flesh get out of control though it was weak. Now the Holy Spirit is present within us to keep us from doing what the old sinful nature wants "Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:2)

To set your mind on the things of the flesh is to live as the world lives with all it's cares and worry's. To have your mind set on the desire's of the Spirit. To think and dwell on Jesus all the day long, to meditate on Jesus. I do believe it does consider some will power at least at first, to walk and talk and think of Jesus all day long will soon become second nature. The Spirit will assist us the stronger the Spirit becomes inside us. Very much so, it will become your nature just comes naturally.

The sinful nature are the things we do in our flesh, the things of satan, that we do over and over, the desires of our flesh. No, it will always try to show up, trying to enter your life once again. YES, there is sweet victory over temptation, as we walk in the Spirit stay in the Word, we overcome temptation.We are Overcomers.

No I don't believe he always comes through speaking in tongues, I do believe you have Holy Spirit in you, and some eventually will speak in tongues others won't, but you still are saved through the blood of Jesus.

They were given extra boldness and power to testify. No, just given more. Yes, I believe so, when God sends his people to speak or testify more boldness will be given, God knows what we need and when we need it.

The Spirit is "poured out" upon believers Baptize (Acts 1:5) Come upon (Acts 1:8) Filled (Acts 2:4) Pour out (Acts 2:17-18, 33) Receive a gift (Acts 2:38) Promise (Acts 2:39, cf. 2:33) Yes Speaking in other tongues They received a gift.

I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in this world and it's worry's and cares we forget in the mist of our trouble we have someone who is greater, who will help us through. No, we all have the same power of the Holy Spirit,. We need to grow, we need to keep his Word in our hearts and in our mouths.We need to keep our faith and believe.

That we belong to God and that there is so much more to come. Guaranteeing what is to come, When Jesus Christ comes back. Teaches us about all things, to remain in him.
