Gifts of the Spirit [Paperback]

Derek Prince (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 25, 2007

The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12 are demonstrations of
God’s matchless grace at work in the world, as well as evidence of His powerful
presence in the midst of His church. They are manifestations of the sovereignty
and provision of God that people can actually see, hear, and experience with their
senses. And they testify to the crucial truth that Jesus Christ is the Lord and
Savior of the world.

All Christians can receive and exercise these gifts of the Holy Spirit. Acclaimed Bible teacher Derek Prince shows how to discover and live in the spiritual gifts
God has given you, so you may...
• Experience God’s power personally.
• Demonstrate distinct manifestations of the Spirit in your life.
• Increase your effectiveness in the body of Christ.
• Become a conduit of God’s grace.
• Defeat satanic powers.
• Do miracles in the name of Jesus.
• Strengthen and encourage your fellow believers.
• Live in God’s will.
• Bring deliverance, healing, and hope to the world.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are not a luxury. They are a necessity for living out the
purposes and plans of God. As we receive the spiritual gifts God wants to give us,
we can demonstrate His manifold grace and power everywhere we go.

About the Author

Internationally recognized as a Bible scholar and spiritual patriarch, Derek Prince (1915–2003) was educated as a scholar of classical languages at Eton College and Cambridge University in England, and later at Hebrew University in Israel. While serving with the British army in World War II, he began to study the Bible as a philosophical work and, as a result, experienced a life–changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Derek Prince taught and ministered on six continents for more than sixty years, imparting God's revealed truth, praying for the sick and afflicted, and sharing his prophetic insights into world events in the light of Scripture. He wrote over fifty books, which have been translated in over sixty languages and distributed worldwide. He pioneered teaching on such groundbreaking themes as generational curses, the biblical significance of Israel, and demonology. Derek Prince Ministries, with its international headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, carries on the good work that God began in and through him by distributing his teachings and by training missionaries, church leaders, and congregations through its worldwide network of offices.

I have been reading Derick Prince books for a long time now and I will recommend it for born again believers who want to know and have personal relationship with the Lord in this end time. If you want to read it as theologian you will be confused At the same time I recommend reading the bible too through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit then you will enjoy Derick Prince books. Very helpful and I will recommend it for anyone who wants to know the Lord deeply.
NB: God give gifts and you must know that before you are deceived by evil spirits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of Context, June 21, 2011

This review is from: Gifts of the Spirit (Paperback)

Several items in this book are taken out of context in relation to the scriptures and used incorrectly. The scripture references in this book are used mostly for the author to get his point across even though the scripture references do not mean what he is saying. Scriptures when written were written to a specific person, place and time and this book uses all scripture for today when in fact many scriptures are not for us. I did not find this book helpful but rather inadequate because if someone who is suppose to be educated in Theology does not understand how to use the scriptures according to how God intended for them to be used, then where is the world heading in regards to teaching the Truth. I do not recommend this book as it is not based on Truth but rather is fiction in content
