The companion to Joy Unspeakable, published in 1985 (Kingsway in Britain; in the United States as The Sovereign Spirit: Discerning His Gifts). These sermons treat the gifts of the Spirit and how claimed manifestations are to be tested. Lloyd-Jones rejected the view that the gifts ceased with the apostles while warning that many contemporary claims were psychological rather than spiritual.
