The Body of Christ is a living organism that consists of many members, each having different functions, contributions and expressions to the edification of the whole body.
The Holy Spirit imparts individual gifts and callings to lead each person into a specialized area of ministry. These gifts are not natural talents or human abilities, but are manifestations of the Holy Spirit through human vessels.
Read Mark 16:15-18
Jesus prophesied that supernatural signs would accompany the preaching of the Good News.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5, “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
Paul understood grace as both unmerited favor and the operational power of God. The Greek word for Grace is Charis (Karees). He attached the common suffix (ma) to it and coined the term charisma.
