Religion & Spirituality
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised that it was for the Church's good that He leave so that the Holy Spirit could come. When we walk in the Holy Spirit, we see His power in our lives through the gifts He gives: motivational gifts—ingrained compulsions God puts in each of us that steer toward His kingdom; gifts of ministry—callings God gave each of us to steward faithfully; and manifestations of the Spirit, or the "now" gifts of God—miraculous ways in which Jesus shows His glory in our daily lives. Allow the Holy Spirit to reassure you of your identity so that you can freely receive and then freely give the gifts of the Spirit, that the Church may be built up.
