"Begin by simply asking the Holy Spirit to make you a blessing to others each day. Then be intentional about listening to Him and following His leading in each situation you are in." (Greg Mohr, Flowing in the Supernatural)
This book has great wisdom in understanding and operating in the gifts of the Spirit. It is written by a pastor who preaches and teaches what he is doing, and has been doing for many years through the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the teachings in the Word of God on the gifts of the Spirit.
He teaches on three different flows of the Spirit: love, light, and life; that will cause the gifts of the Spirit to manifest. He says, "There are three primary flows of the Spirit. If we will recognize each of these and cooperate with the Spirit when He is moving through us in this way, the gifts will flow freely through our lives." He acknowledges that there may be other dimensions or flows of the Spirit available, but these will surely equip and activate you to operate in the gifts with confidence.
I am a bit cautious when someone uses the word "light" when describing spiritual things because it is often used by New Agers in a vain way. When he speaks of light in his book he is talking about those small promptings or leadings by the Lord. He says, "I have discovered in my walk with the Lord the more responsive I am to the smallest prompting, leading, or 'light' I receive from the Lord, the more the gifts operate through me and the greater blessing I am to others." He goes on explaining how this "flow of light" (revelation or illumination) can come to us while we are reading the Word (See Psalm 119:105), impression, or inward desire; however, we are do a quality check to make sure that those things line up with the Word of God before acting on them. If this "flow of light" does not violate the Word and is intended to bless others, we should go for it, and not spend too much time analyzing.
Of course, all the gifts of Spirit should be operated in love, and often the gifts of the Spirit are called the love gifts because they are intended to profit all, and he covers this in Chapter 8 entitled "The Flow of Love" and I will let you read the book to discover what he means by "The Flow of Life."
If I could summarize this book, I would say that in order for one to see the demonstration of the gifts of Spirit, they must learn to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. He is the giver of the gifts, and He will teach us, as we step out in faith and love.
