Spiritual Gifts in the History ofRedemption
New Testament Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the
Spirit (Luke 4:14) The reason the Son of God appeared was to
destroy the devils work. (1 John 3:8) As you go, proclaim this message: The kingdom
of heaven has come near. Heal the sick, raisethe dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,drive out demons. (Matt 10:7-8)
But you will receive power when the Holy Spiritcomes on you; and you will be my witnesses(Acts 1:8)
