Donald Gee on the Gift of Tongues

"The gift of tongues consisted of the power of more or less ecstatic speech in languages with which the speaker was not naturally familiar".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p57).

Donald Gee on Purpose of Spiritual Gifts

"The ultimate and full purpose of spiritual gifts thus stands revealed. They are to bring men face to face with the reality of the Invisible God. To make the Church realise that the Holy Spirit is ever present and all true ministry springs from Him who is her only source of life and power and to make the unbeliever equally concious that God cannot be forgotten and that sin dare not be trifled with".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p19).

Donald Gee on Cessationism

"One word here; it is surely a serious thing to accuse God of withdrawing these gifts if the real fact is that the church lost them through lukewarmness".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p10).

Donald Gee on Cessationism

"Are spiritual gifts for today? Why not? The burden of proof surely lies with those who say "No" rather than those who say "Yes". There is nothing in Scripture, reason or experience to make us believe that the gifts of the Spirit are not for today - every one of them".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p9).

Donald Gee on Defining Prophecy

"It is impossible to seperate true prophesying from the idea of definite inspiration. The prophet spoke more from the impulse of a sudden revelation at the moment".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p42).

Donald Gee on Prophecy NOT Preaching

"It will at least help to define our study if we immediately dismiss the idea that Scriptural "prophesying" is nothing more than ordinary preaching".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p42).

Donald Gee on Cessationism and Prophecy

"To silence the gift of prophecy is to silence what has in the past and what may we believe often be again the very expression of the emotion of God, the fullness of the Divine feeling finding at least some expression through inadequate human channels".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p48).

Donald Gee on the Gift of Prophecy

"It is sure to cost something to stand for the real gift of prophecy and to give it it's lawful place in our assemblies today but unless we do so we are persuaded that one very big purpose of God in the "latter rain" outpouring of the Spirit will be frustrated".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on the Protection of Spiritual Gifts

"One of the greatest responsibilities entrusted to us today in the preservation of the actual exercise of these gifts of inspired utterance of these gifts of inspired utterance in the church. We emphasise "actual exercise" because it is so very easy to stand for those things theoretically and doctrinally without actually manifesting them".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on Prophecy and Church

"(Prophecy) can sweep the assembly up into heights of glory and enthusiasm, can melt with tenderness and make to tremble with awe".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p46).

Donald Gee on Prophesying

"Prophesying is also needed to correct the equal dangers of a purely intellectual and rational line of ministry".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p45).

Donald Gee on the Gift of Prophecy and Teaching

"(Prophecy) provides a most essential balance to the didatic and logical ministry of the teacher. Prophecy appeals mostly to the emotions; teaching to the intellect. Prophecy sets on fire that which teaching enlightens".

Donald Gee - "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" - Gospel Mission (1947) - (p45).
