God’s Spirit gives believers special abilities as he desires.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

4 There are various things that God’s Spirit enables various believers to do, but it is that same Spirit who enables us to do them. 5 There are many different ways to serve the Lord, but it is the same Lord whom we all are serving. 6 We believers have the power to do various tasks, but it is the same God who gives all of us the power to do these things.

7 God’s Spirit gives his power to each believer in order to benefit all the other believers. 8 To some, the Spirit gives the ability to speak very wise messages. To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to know things that he reveals to them. 9 To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to believe that God will work miracles. To others, the Spirit gives the ability to heal sick people. 10 To others, he gives the power to perform miracles. To others, he gives the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. To others, he gives the ability to tell if a message is really from God or not. To others he gives the ability to speak messages in languages [MTY] that they have not learned. To others, he gives the ability to tell the meaning of those messages [MTY]. 11 It is the same Spirit who gives all these abilities. He gives whatever abilities he wants to give, to whatever person he wants to give them.
