Book excerpt: The Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit seeks to propel us into the presence of the Most High God, allowing entry into the spiritual realm--one that we were created to be part of. God was thinking about us before He created us; thus, we were spirits before we were ever adorned with this flesh. Our spirit knows no age, but does increase in power and ability. This power increases until we reach eternity, our beginning with no end. God created precious gifts for us to enjoy along the way--the gifts of the Holy Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12 in the Holy Bible. He gave us the gifts of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, and tongues and their interpretation. We are given common words of wisdom to keep us reverent to God, allowing Him to guide our daily lives. the Common and Special Gifts of the Holy Spirit explains that these common and special gifts are all given by God, the Holy Spirit, and they unlock the potential for us to have a spiritual encounter of the grandest magnitude.
