The working of the Spirit is powerful, penetrating, transforming and dynamic.  On the Day of Pentecost, one gift cut through years of religious tradition that resulted in 3,000 getting saved. They spoke in tongues, Peter preached with penetrating power and 3,000 were added.  1 Corinthians 12:7-11, informs us of how the Holy Spirit gives gifts to each individually as He chooses for the common good.  Receive an understanding of the gifts of the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, and the discerning of Spirits.
