God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere.; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere, but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that show who God is: Everyone
gets in on it, everyone benefits. The Message: reference of 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7.
