Spiritual Gifts are God’s Gifts to us. They can be desired, Paul tells us in Corinthians, that God will be Glorified in the Church. God is the distributor of the Gifts and it is the Holy Spirit within us that brings those Gifts into operation. Spiritual Gifts do not make us “special” – rather God is special and should be Glorified through their use. If “spiritual gifts” are being misused, this is not the Holy Spirit but fleshly and maybe demonic.
