What’s Your Superpower?

Some years ago, three of my grandchildren were asking each other, “What’s your superpower?” I had to tell them--and I also have to tell you--that unlike Spider-man and Superman, born-again believers are meant to be real superheroes with real superpowers. 

Here’s what Paul told the Corinthians about their superpowers:

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires. (1 Co 12:4–11 WMB)

If you’re a believer, what’s your superpower? In Acts 1:8, Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” (NETFull)  If you haven’t received power—if He hasn’t come upon you yet—please read this page.
