Gifts of the Holy Spirit

1 John 4:1

Romans 12:6

"Revival will call for much love and humility, because it may please God to use one man more extensively than another.  The fleece of one denomination may appear to be wet with the dews of heaven while another is only damp with it.  In some cases God may use the least gifted of men - at least some would so judge them - and in the least likely of churches find a channel for His grace.  May God preserve us from a spirit which would prefer to see no revival at all if it did not come in our form, after our pattern, and through our instrumentality." …John T.
