“The Spirit of the Lord comes upon him: the spirit of wisdom and discernment, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” This is a paraphrase of how the prophet Isaiah describes the working of the Spirit of God, who rests upon the Messiah. The New Testament recognizes a multiplicity of further gifts of the Spirit (charisms): character gifts such as mercy and martyrdom, practical gifts such as wise counsel and leadership, and of course more dramatic gifts such as prophecy and healing. This course will center more on these latter gifts.
