Six Gift/Power You Should Seek from God as a born again Christian. It's a free gift to you .

1) Power to receive Revelation and Visions.

2) Power of the holy spirit.

3) Power to Prophecy.

4) Power to Speak in tongues

5) Power to Heal the Sick

6) Power to Cast out demons in the Name of Jesus.

Should seek or should have?

The disciples in the bible and even those fathers of faith in old testament did not have to seek these power.
They were simply gifted for being chosen by God.

Which is why it's difficult to believe Christians these days, everyone claims to have been saved (chosen) yet without gifts, without power, even the pastors.

You should seek for them , because we aren't Righteous in this modern world. Seek God and he will answer you.
We don't have the privileges like those in the bible. But we should pray for God's Mercy and grace to receive all this things. Above all seek the Kingdom and all these shall be added unto you.

Have you or your sister ever been raped just for visiting a friend? (Pardon me for asking such a a gruesome question)
That's what was done to the wife of a Levite (Judges 19:24) and almost done to those men (angels) and Lot's daughters. Genesis 19:3-8

Our generation's immorality is nothing compare to those in the bible. The only difference is that technology makes it spread faster.

So since God's way doesn't change, then still it isn't works of righteousness that determines God's gifts.

One thing is those righteous ones in the bible can't be compared to the righteous ones now.

Re: Six Important Powers Every Christian Should Seek From God. by Nauttyprof(m): 3:03pm On Sep 27, 2020
When did everything you listed become power?

This is one of the many problems we have in Christendom, teaching head knowledge and not following what the Bible says. No Biblical backup because some listed were head knowledge.

When will we return to what does the Bible say?

I believe having the holy spirit gives that all
No!
the Holy Spirit isn't the same as the gift of the spirit!
you can be spirit filled without activating the gift of the spirit in you!
To some the gift of prophecy (to prophesy), to others the gift of Knowledge, Wisdom, Miracles, healing, speaking in diverse tongues and interpretation of tongues(7gift of the spirit).

"Ghost" is a syntax
Last I checked, syntax is an orderly arrangement of something usually langauge, a way of writing a language.

Maybe you meant to describe something else.

If you are born again you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit is all the other items in your menu


There is nothing like power to prophecy.. Gift of prophecy

You don't need power to speak in tongue... Gift of the holy spirit is evidenced by speaking in tongue

Just receive Christ and be baptized




There is no work or labour to it just receive Christ and his baptism

Acts 2:38

English Standard Version
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Berean Study Bible
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spiri

The person of the Holy Spirit is a gift you receive when you accept Christ and his baptism. The GIFTS of the Holy is given to you by the Holy Spirit when he comes into your spirit. Whether you operate them or not is up to you and your walk with the word.

"Ghost" is not a syntax.
And that is the bone of contention.
Smuggling in "Holy" as an adjective to qualify the noun "Ghost" in order to argue syntactical application is gross misconduct in grammar and it is a deviation from our discourse.
You are trying to be wise but do so intelligently.

Let me ask,(1)Are you a Christian??
(2) Have you experienced the Holy spirit before??

There's nothing like "six powers". We have just one power, and it's the power of God/Holy Ghost.
I think you should modify the topic.

Weldone sir!

The holy ghost is the custodian of powers,if the holy spirit is the power itself I won't say that's not true, I agree with you. But you should know what a custodian is and it is left for believers to seek genuine anointing from God. There are powers to do different things( anointing) healing power,casting out demons etc....the life of Jesus it was demonstrated, there are type of situation that deserves some kind of knowledge and power
