In the final part of this two-part series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit the mystique is stripped away and the teaching is powerful. The meeting concludes with most of the congregation being prayed for to be released into the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This definitely qualifies as being in agreement with our 2008 church motto ..new things I declare...Isaiah 42:9.
