Are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit Still for Today? | Q&A with Pastor Johnny Chase

Send us Fan MailAre the gifts of the Holy Spirit still operating today? Does God still speak to His people? What does the Bible actually teach about tongues, prophecy, healing, miracles, and hearing God's voice?In this final episode of our Gifts of the Holy Spirit series, I sit down with Pastor Johnny Chase of Beach Assembly of God for an honest, Scripture-centered conversation about some of the most debated and misunderstood topics surrounding spiritual gifts.We tackle questions including:Are the supernatural gifts still for today—or did they cease with the apostles?Does God still speak to believers today?How do we know whether something we hear is truly from God?What is the biblical purpose of speaking in tongues?Are there varieties of tongues? Does it always need interpretation?What is prophecy, and how should prophetic words be tested?How do we distinguish a genuine move of the Holy Spirit from something emotional or manufactured?Does God still heal supernaturally?Why are some people healed while others are not?Can someone be spiritually gifted but still spiritually immature?Throughout the conversation, Pastor Johnny continually brings us back to one foundation: the Word of God.We should not base our theology on experiences, personalities, traditions, or what a popular preacher says. We study Scripture, test what we hear against God's Word, and depend on the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—to guide us. “Clarity brings confidence.” — Pastor Johnny Chase And ultimately, our greatest pursuit isn't tongues, prophecy, healing, miracles—or even spiritual gifts themselves.Our greatest pursuit is knowing Jesus more.The gifts are given for the common good, to build up the Body of Christ and empower us to be the hands and feet of Jesus. And as 1 Corinthians 13 reminds us, even the greatest manifestations mean nothing without LOVE.📖 Key Scriptures: Acts 1&2 • Romans 12 • 1 Corinthians 12–14 • John 10 • James 5 • 2 Corinthians 12 • Deuteronomy 29:29If this conversation helps you better understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit, share it with someone who has questions about this topic.And remember:Don't chase the gifts. Pursue the Gift Giver.Know His Word. Walk in His Spirit. Love His people. Glorify Jesus.
