On Pentecost, God sent His Holy Spirit to the Church, opening their understanding of His master plan. True power belongs to God alone. In Genesis 1:26, we learn of God's intention of bestowing a certain measure of His power to those created in His Image, giving mankind dominion over the earth's creation. At Pentecost, Jesus Christ's disciples, then and now, received an exponential increase in that power, consisting of the very mind of Christ and God the Father, the very power of God working ceaselessly on our behalf, turning us from naïve spiritual babes to mature and responsible saints of the Most High. With the Holy Spirit, God's called out saints receive spiritual gifts which amplify extant physical abilities for the expressed purpose of edifying their spiritual siblings, just like the diverse bodily functions serve the entire organism. God bestowed these complementary diverse spiritual gifts to perfect, strengthen, and equip the entire body of Christ. All of God's chosen saints have received one or more spiritual gifts which God gave them to selflessly serve and minister to their spiritual siblings with sacrificial love.
