The Church today is experiencing dizzying forms of spiritual manifestations, which have worked both for and against it. There is a prophet at almost every street corner; "a congregation eating grass is the name of God"; "a minister turning into a snake while preaching"; a noise of believers bubbling in tongues; and "a marriage breaking in the name of Jesus." What is the church to do with all that? In Charismatic Manifestations, Brother Tionge Matela Msiska presents fresh insights on the concept, reception, purpose, practice, and authentication of spiritual gifts; and helps the reader embrace a mature understanding and a balanced perception of spiritual gifts in the church today. Charismatic Manifestations is a book that objectively deals with questions that matter as far as spiritual gifts and manifestations are concerned. It provides answers to questions such as: 1. What are spiritual gifts or manifestations? 2. How does one receive these spiritual abilities? 3. What is the purpose of spiritual gifts? 4. What is the biblical practice of the spiritual gifts and manifestations? 5. How can one be sure whether particular spiritual gifts and manifestations are genuine or a staged manipulation? Charismatic Manifestations has been written for Bible students, teachers, church leaders, Christians in general, and any one feeling "suspicious" and skeptical about spiritual manifestations among the charismatics and Pentecostals today.
