Day 207: The Gift Doesn't Make You Better

“If any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, He is not His.” You can speak in tongues even perform miracles. If you don’t have that Spirit you don’t belong to Jesus. Remember, speaking in tongues is a gift. Performing miracles is a gift. Casting out demons is a gift. But you remember what Paul said, “When you’ve received a gift, you’re no better afterwards than you were before.” It hasn’t changed you a little bit. You see, the real problem I think with the Charismatic movement is that we have put the gifts in the wrong place. They are not badges. They are tools to be used in the service of the Lord.
