The Relationship Between the Spirit and the Word of the Lord

Thos. Jackson: Spirit is not just something that exercises authority over us, but something that authorizes us to act in the name of the lord. He says every single one of us is a recipient of the gifts of the spirit as we give them to other members of the body. And so the whole work of giving process can be seen in this condensed theme of life and how it's first seen in the prophets,. We have been given the gift of the spirit, but also those who give his gifts are also part of that process.
