I am very wary of any book that begins "How to............."

but this will is always completely consistent and dependent on scripture. God will never add to the bible.. and we can't add to it. If we apply what is in it to our lives.. that is how God speaks to us. Through the application.
I agree but there's nothing added about spiritual gifts it's already written in the canonised word and plain to see. And the two , Word and gifts are NOT mutually exclusive. The gift of prophecy can function not only apart from the Word but also to DIRECT you to the right place in the Word. The apostles had the Scriptures but they still NEEDED the Spiritual gifts. For example, how do you know if you have to read John chapter 1 or Matthew chapter 5 on a given day of the week? You don't, unless you ask and hear from God directly. Otherwise you are just leading yourself and doing what you feel like you should do. That's why prophecy and words of knowledge is still useful. You might alreayd be function in the gifts, ever had a bible verse pop into your mind out of the blue for the right situation? That's a word of knowledge.

The Holy Spirit annointed kings in the Old Testament, giving them power in leadership.. but that I think has passed away.
Well it's been replaced by God saying He would pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh. In other words, the gates are open and God can give you the same power and ability you don't need to be anyone special like a king or church leader.

God did promise to never flood the earth again but NO WHERE did God promise NOT to pour out His Spirit again. That is silly because the Spirit something GOOD and Jesus said He is willing to give it just have to ask.

I have had a couple of prophetic words and MOST came true. You can say it is SATAN if you like but I wouldn't that blaspheming the Holy Ghost. Jesus said "My Sheep know My voice".

i can see the level of spirituality,that u are speaking,but is like saying God i already got by salvation u can end the world now.as God speaks in different ways to the people,the reason why he does this is because not all people will believe in him the same way others do.if u have Got this gift of belief in God with out the need of sings or if u are complete in the word God that is good for u and give glory to God for that,but that is not the whole pint here,if Jesus was complete in himself y would he want u or why would need u.He never needed you, why did he sacrifice himself for u or for me or for anybody else?when he came to earth he had the holy spirit upon him and he made sings and miracles,the point is that God works based on your need,and if u do not need signs it does not mean that other people will not need sings to belief in God.like Jesus,if u don`t belief by the word i speak,belief by my works on way or another God want us to belief in him.in contradiction to the word u speak,when u wrote,no one alive has the gift of prophesy,nor healing is like u saying no one alive has in him the holy spirit,he is the one who give all this gift according to his will.
