I said before Jesus is and was the spotless Lamb of God the Son of God slain from the foundation of the world. But when He came to this earth He laid aside certain attributes to live as a man who was our example.Well Jesus wouldn't need to operate in the gifts..He is God.. He can do as He wills. I don't think He would have needed the gifts as they would be intrinsically part of Him, as God.
He would give gifts...but not need the gifts Himself. IMO
In John 2:11 we find the beginning of miracles. Why were there no miracles as a child? He was the Son of God as a child.
When Jesus was baptized the Spirit of God descended upon Him. There are no recorded miracles of Jesus before that time.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Why was the Son of God Anointed with power if He already had it at His disposal? He laid all of that aside, He could not be killed as God , He as an act of free laid His life down.
Does God know everything? Yes . Did Jesus as He walked the earth as a man know everything? Let the scripture speak for its self.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
He said he didn’t know the day or the hour only the Father.
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Jesus the man was tempted and over came with the Word of God sinless.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
God as God cannot be tempted. If Jesus was operating in His min astray as the God of the universe He could not have been tempted.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Look at every miracle He performed in His ministry, every single one of them can be categorized under one of the gifts of the Spirit.
Please don't twist my words into something they do not say. Jesus.was the spotless Son of God but He did not operate His ministry as the God of the universe. He felt pain, He was tempted, He wept, He prayed, He showed mercy and compassion. He resisted temptation with the Word of God.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
IMO your statement quoted above misunderstands what Jesus did on this earth and how He did it.
I've back up my beliefs with Scripture and not with catch phrases and talking points I hope you will do the same.
