“And the Holy Ghost Did Not Come Upon Any Because of Their Wickedness and Unbelief”

Brant Gardner

The “gifts from the Lord” and the fact that “the Holy Ghost did not come upon any” are both symptoms of the same problem. Just as the beloved disciples physically leave, so does the spirit of the Lord, and when it is gone, the manifestations of that spirit among men are also gone. The people may known that the Lord is no longer with them because the disciples are not with them, and the manifestations of the spirit are not with them.
