Miracles by the Book A Workbook for Individuals and Teams By Jackson H. Snyder II Seventh Edition There are many different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit; there are many different ways of serving, but it is always the same Sovereign. There are many different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same El who is at work in them all. The particular manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general good. To one is given from the Spirit the gift of utterance expressing wisdom; to another the gift of utterance expressing knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit; to another, belief, from the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing, through this one Spirit; to another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the power of distinguishing spirits; to one, the gift of different tongues and to another, the interpretation of tongues. But at work in all these is one and the same Spirit, distributing them at will to each individual. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Copyright ©2004 - 2008 Jackson Snyder. All Rights Reserved.

DzDemons, when once they have been able, by means of opportunities afforded them, to convey themselves through base and evil actions into the bodies of men, if they remain in them a long time through their own negligence, because they do not seek after what is profitable to their inner-beings, they necessarily compel them for the future to fulfill the desires of the demons who dwell in them. But what is worst of all, at the end of the age, when that demon shall be consigned to ageless fire, of necessity the spirit also that obeyed him, shall with him be tortured in ageless fires, together with its body that it has polluted. Dz ǡ this is the reason. They are spirits bearing their purpose turned to wickedness. Therefore by immoderate eating and drinking, and lust, they urge men on to sin, but only those who entertain the purpose of sinning, who, while they seem simply desirous of satisfying the necessary cravings of nature, give opportunity to the demons to enter into them, because through excess they do not maintain moderation. For as long as the measure of nature is kept, and legitimate moderation is preserved, the mercy of YHWH does not give them liberty to enter into men. But when either the mind falls into immorality, or the body is filled with immoderate meat or drink, then, as if invited by the will and purpose of those who thus neglect themselves, they receive power as against those who have broken Torah imposed by YHWH.
