Modern examples of the Spiritually Gifted.

 Talking with a friend about Spiritual Gifts I thought about Corrie Ten Boom, Tamp for the Lord and Charlie Kirk, Stop in the name of God. 

I appreciate the question: Do I read what I believe, or do I believe what I read? When we stay anchored to Scripture, we stay grounded in truth. Lately I’ve been convicted that many of today’s false prophets are not Old Testament-style figures, but influential voices and entertainers who draw people away from God and exalt self, the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Christ has already given the church true prophets. Paul names them among the gifts Christ gives for building up the body (Ephesians 4:7–13; 1 Corinthians 12–14; Romans 12). The difference between true and false prophets is visible in the fruit of their lives.

False prophets operate under the spirit of anti-Christ. Their fruit is predictable. Death. Destruction. Debauchery. Delusion. Distance from God. Devil-worship. Addiction. Disorder. Their influence pulls people toward darkness, not toward life.

True prophets live by the Spirit of Christ. Their fruit is equally obvious. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. Their lives and even their deaths point people to Jesus.

Corrie Ten Boom is a powerful example. In Tramp for the Lord, she describes visions, guidance, and miraculous provision that carried her far beyond the horrors of the concentration camp. Charlie Kirk offers another example in a different vein. In Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, he shows how Sabbath rest is not outdated. It is an act of resistance against frantic modern life and an invitation back to peace, presence, and communion with God.
