Thank you so much for the ping! I will try to remember and not size my posts when replying to you, dear Mad Dawg.

It's interesting that this comes up as some are questioning A-G's claim (if such it be) to be speaking in or for the Spirit. I'm sure A-G would not be claiming "supernatural powers" for herself but would rather say something like the gift was God's to give and for reasons best known to HImself He'd given it to her, at least for now.

I am just like every other Christian. We all have been given "ears to hear" - we all have been reborn by the Spirit - we all are indwelled by the Spirit. With emphasis:

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. – John 10:4-5

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. – John 6:44

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. – John 1:12-13

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. - John 3:5-8

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:1-9

To God be the glory!
