Scripture

Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.

Reflection

My child, you must constantly stir up the gifts of the Holy Spirit in order to remain sensitive to me.

All of those manifestation gifts of 1 Corinthians are available to you and to my whole church. Seek me; let my words of knowledge and wisdom and prophecy flow through you to others. Let my acts of power – miracles and healing released in faith – be manifest in my church. Let the discernment of spirits and tongues with interpretation be shown in your meetings.

This is my will for you and all my people. I am saddened by the way many live a surface spirituality in which intellect and feelings are allowed to replace my gifts.

There is so much that you have not begun to explore. My child, let this grace expand in you and in all my people.

Do not neglect my gifts. Do not scorn my Spirit. Do not life the list of Christ without Christ.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, I am sorry for neglecting you and your gifts. Please let your gifts be multiplied in me and in your church. Amen.
