How to Operate in the Gifts of the Spirit Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.—1 Cor. 12:1, NKJV Are the gifts of the Spirit operating in your life? Maybe you thought that the Holy Spirit no longer gave gifts to His people in the twenty-first century. There’s a good chance you have heard of these gifts, but you have only seen them listed in a "What We Believe" section on a church website, and you have not personally experienced their operation. Steven Brooks shares solid Biblical insight and powerful personal testimony of what it looks like to exercise each of the nine gifts of the Spirit. Discover The Holy Spirit lives within you. Operate His gifts and transform the world around you!

"Become comfortable with the gifts, anticipating that the Holy Spirit will minister through you with the gift that is most needed at that particular time. (Steven Brooks, How to Operate in the Gifts of the Spirit, Page. 85)
Sid Roth says that this is the "ultimate guide for every believer". I think this book introduces some things I have never heard of that are not in other books. For example in the chapter on the gift of discerning of spirits, the author talks about how we can discern through smell. Normally, when I thought of discerning of spirits, I think of seeing something in the spirit and discerning whether it is good or bad. But, the author talks about smelling good and bad things in the spiritual realm.
Another thing I thought was unusual was how the author has operated in many of the gifts and how he advises that the Holy Spirit can and will give us any gift we may use at a particular time when it is needed. The best gift, he says is the gift that is most needed at the time. There is a great story he uses to emphasize his point...he talks about a true story of him being stranded in a desert and the thing he needed most was water. Anything else would not do.
Now, I think this is "not" the ultimate guide on operating in the gifts of the Spirit because it does not have all the gifts expounded upon. He mainly covers the 9 spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. However, I do believe that this author has much insight that can be gained that you will not find in any other books on the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
