Daily Dose of God's Word For 6-10

Memory Verse: Instead, be filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18

Without question, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit were very common in the early church as described in the New Testament. Many false doctrines and theological problems are the results of a failure to understand the purpose of miraculous gifts.  And a common question is; "Why are these gifts not be for today?"

God gave miraculous gifts to the Church, to reveal and confirm the New Covenant was from God.  And to put, God's seal of approval on the Apostles and prophets.

Read Mark 16:15-20; Hebrews 2:1-4.

Once, the teachings were written down and confirmed, was there a need for a continuation of miraculous gifts?

Pray 

Come Holy Spirit,

Come on the soft steps of a child.

Come Holy Spirit,

Come on the gentle breeze.

Speak to me Holy Spirit,

Speak to me in the rustling leaves.

Speak to me Holy Spirit,

Speak to me in the rushing stream.

Move me Holy Spirit,

Move me like the harp strings playing.

Move me Holy Spirit,

Move me like the caroling wren.

Change me Holy Spirit,

Change my heart and make me live.

Change me Holy Spirit,

Change me so I do your will.

Amen
