Everyone Benefits From Manifestation Of The Spirit

1 Corinthians 12:7

1 Cor. 12:7 (KJV)— "The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."

The Holy Spirit brings a profit to us both individually and corporately as a church body by endowing spiritual gifts—capabilities that are beyond our natural capabilities.

1 Cor. 1:4-5 speaks of two kinds of spiritual gifts: utterance gifts and knowledge gifts.

Utterance: logos (describes vocal gifts—gifts that are spoken) tongues, interpretation of tongues, and prophecy

Knowledge: gnosis (describes revelatory gifts—knowledge not naturally obtained) word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits. (Note: Some of these gifts overlap each other or are used in concert with each other.)
