One word in two texts should help to answer that question. In 1 Corinthians 12:6 Paul says this about spiritual gifts: “. . . and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” A bit later, in verse 11, he reminds us that “all these [spiritual gifts] are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.”
Two texts pointing toward how we experience divine power through the spiritual gifts in the Christian life.
1 Corinthians 12:6 and 1 Corinthians 12:11
