An Introduction to Things That Pertain to the Spirit

First Corinthians chapter 12 outlines the gifts of the Spirit. There are many ways these gifts can manifest, because we all have unique personalities and God works differently through each person. We must be in unity and value each person’s giftings in the body. The things of the Spirit can manifest if we examine our lives before taking communion (chapter 11) and if we walk in the love of God (chapter 13). Praying much in tongues is also key for the things of the Spirit to flow, and helps us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, e.g. when He wants us to intercede for someone.
