You are Good, Great things, One God, Holy Spirit, 10,000 REASONS

Have you ever made a “birthday resolution” similar to a “New Year’s resolution”? If you were to make one for your next birthday, what would it contain?

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good… 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

(1 Corinthians 12:1-3, Matthew 7:21, Acts 1:8, Romans 8:9, John 15:4-5, Galatians 5:22-23, Daniel 5:11-12, Acts 13:52, Ephesians 5:15-18)

(1 Corinthians 12:4-7, 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, 28-31, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 12:3-8, 1 Peter4:10-11, Exodus 31:3-6)

(1 Peter 4:10-11, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
