    Are Miracles Still Real? Spiritual Gifts, Healing & the Importance of Character

    Are miracles and supernatural healings still happening today? And does having a spiritual gift automatically mean someone is spiritually mature? In this episode of Bringing Hope and Freedom, we continue our conversation about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, focusing on miracles, healing, faith, and the importance of godly character. We discuss how the Holy Spirit moved through the early church, personal experiences with healing and prophetic gifts, and why spiritual power should never be confused with spiritual maturity. In this episode: - Are miracles and healings still happening today? - How can you recognize a spiritual gift? - Why giftedness doesn't always equal godly character - The dangers of spiritual pride and abusing spiritual gifts - Why Christians should pursue both the power and character of Christ Spiritual gifts were never meant to glorify individuals. They were given to bring glory to Jesus and point people toward Him. Have you experienced a miracle or healing? Do you have questions about the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
