Saint Paul instructs all the faithful to pursue and grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  A Charismatic prayer meeting is a proper time to grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  The best way to mature in these gifts is to use them.  We practice with small steps and then grow together with others. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is meant to lead into a Charismatic way of living. Every gift of the Spirit is given to bless members of the community. The love of Jesus flows into the community through the Gifts of the Spirit. The gifts have a special purpose of EVANGELIZATION.  New members will experience the personal voice of God through Word gifts such as prophecy, regular teachings and testimonies will build up a person’s faith to greater levels.  At times of personal prayer, we can expect the healing power of Jesus to touch our hearts, minds, emotions, and bodies.  As we personally experience the healing touch of Jesus, we can more easily grow in using our own gifts to bless the community around us. We learn that every gift that the Holy Spirit gives to us individually is meant to be given away.  That is, the way of Jesus.
