      ‘Words!  Words! Words!

      I'm so sick of words!

      I get words all day through;

      First from him,

      now from you!

      Sing me no song!

      Read me no rhyme!

      Don't waste my time,

      Show me!’

      (Alan Jay Lerner, Show Me, from My Fair Lady)

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      In preparing this material, I am entirely in the debt of two authors, Clive Calver and David Pytches. Try as I might, I have struggled to find two authors, who have captured the essence of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit as well as they have. Clive Calver's, 'The Holy Spirit,' was first released in 1984 by the Scripture Union, a small book with a huge content. David Pytches', 'Come Holy Spirit,' published in 1985 by Hodder & Stoughton, has lived up to its subtitle, 'Learning How To Minister In Power.' I recommend both these books, and believe it is worth trawling the internet to find copies.

      This book has come out of a lifetime of ministry, and I have tried, wherever possible, to quote my sources. However, a lot of my content has come from my hand written notes, scrawled down at lectures and conferences and reproduced here. I have listed at the back of this book, all of the books I used in my initial preparation for this course, and any sources I have discovered since. If I have inadvertently failed to quote a source, I do apologise, and I request that you let me know so that I can correct that mistake in future editions.

      INTRODUCTION

      Originally produced as part of THE HOLY SPIRIT COURSE: MORE THAN JUST WORDS this short book focuses on the three chapters covering the nine spiritual gifts of Knowledge, Wisdom, Discernment, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues. These gifts of Revelation, Power, Authority and Communication are at the heart of all the spiritual gifts and help us to understand the heart of God. I hope and pray that you enjoy this book, and if you do, then I highly recommend purchasing a copy of the full book.

      May God make you mighty.

      On Christmas Eve 1975, I found myself in my local parish church of All Soul's, Springwood. I had arrived, by mistake, half an hour early for the midnight communion. Hiding outside, I waited, until I saw a familiar face from my days as a choirboy there. Having vowed, at age 14, never to go back to church again, I found I needed to be there at Christmas. Standing next to my old friends, Clive and Jacqui, the talk and the service challenged me. So as the church bell rang in Christmas Day, I remembered praying, God I don't even know if you are there, but if you are, I want to know you!

      My life changed, and I became part of an Anglican, Church of England, charismatic
