"Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." The Holy Spirit will abide in us if we are His disciples. If we are of the world, we cannot receive the abiding of the Holy Spirit. But those who love God enough to receive His Spirit, WILL OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. (John 14:17)

Holy Spirit

The purpose of manifestation is that the believers must be profited by the gifts. "1 Cor 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."

You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive, You have received gifts among men, EVEN from THE REBELLIOUS, That the LORD God might dwell there.
Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah
