Cool thing that happened over the summer #1...
My best friend received the gift of prophecy. It was good stuff. I prayed for him, and I told him that he needed to spend some time alone. It was great stuff. Whenever God gives me a vision I can come to him. Usually he knows what I am going to say before I tell him, and that is how he knows that it is from God.

What I learned about spiritual gifts this summer...
The gifts of the spirit are a special way for us to fellowship with God, in working the ministry. Take the gift of tongues for example. It's mostly a personal gift, but then again...the gift isn't just so that I can feel more sensation during prayer; it is given so that I can have a deeper fellowship with God, and we can grow closer through it. Any other gift is also a gift to help the journey that we are on together with Christ. Christ not being there occasionally, but all the time. Don't worship the gift. Worship with the gift. It's like a present, but not a computer game that I can toy with on my own. Instead, it's like a football, or a board game, and I have to have God and others play with me. Through this we grow closer. May God bless you. Amen
