Are the "Gifts of the Spirit" meant for some people, but not all people? Often we hear the list of the Spiritual Gifts listed off like Super Powers that either you have or you don't. But the text of 1 Corinthians 12 is much more about willingness to be used by God, than it is about specific powers that some have and some don't. Keithen suggests that the power of God is looking for a humble and open spirit to flow through to the world, and that we can be have that spirit.
