Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the promise of God to every believer in his son Jesus. The evidence that you are filled with the Holy Ghost is that you speak with an unknown unlearned on your behalf tongue. In the Old Testament or Covenant, the Holy Ghost would come upon the hand-picked men of God for his glory then depart, but in those days miracles were done like raising the dead, cure leprosy and others. Now that we have a better Covenant by the shedding of the blood of Jesus we should be doing greater works. (Verses 4 and 5) “ now there are diversities of gifts, but the Same Spirit”.“ and there are differences of Administrations, but the same Lord”.
