"…Those who grab hold of their First Love With all their heart, with all their mind, With all their strength and with all their soul, Shall never go hungry, nor shall they thirst anymore; Nor shall the heat of the noonday Sun do them any harm…

Yea, even all their tears shall be wiped away In the house of The Lord." Says The Lord

The Holy Spirit is the agent! He’s The One! Without Him we are void of the very presence of whom was sent to set our hearts ablaze with insight of our Creator.. our Redeemer! He’s the Enlightener of our hearts! ( Ephesians 1:18-21) He proceeds the gifts, but yet produces the gifts. We talk of His love and peace yet He is the producer of them. We talk of faith yet He is the producer of faith! How do we live, move and have our being in Christ? It’s through the Holy Spirit! How do we gain understanding and knowledge of Who He is? It’s by the Holy Spirit, for He will teach us all things! (John 14:26) He’s the enforcer of His word in our lives. All of the attributes of Christ are taught and discovered through The Holy Spirit! Gain ground today! Gain understanding! Live Big! Live Sustained! Receive The Baptism of The Holy Spirit, today!!

𝐀: "…Do My servants seek glory for themselves? Have they so highly esteemed themselves, as to name themselves according to the gift? Are they so skilled in knowledge and cleverness of speech, that they may now appoint themselves to a certain office, without first being called? The gift is Mine! And I bestow it upon whomever I wish, whenever I choose!

For I call My servants out from among them, I appoint every office, and I Myself number their steps before them. For My gifts are given through The Spirit, and must also be received in Me. They are in no wise open to claim, nor shall anyone on earth assign them. For only those in union with The Messiah are able to walk in them.”

Says The Lord.

Enhancing the Holy Spirit's Ministry: Keys to Stirring Up Spiritual Gifts

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are supernatural equipment that God has graciously given to the Church. They belong to us today. They belong to us as a body of believers and as individual members of the body of Christ. However, just because they belong to us doesn’t mean that they will automatically be in manifestation in our lives and in our meetings. We have a part to play in enhancing the…

Spiritual Gifts, The Holy Spirit, The Giver of Spiritual Gifts

The Holy Spirit Gives Gifts as He wills We are to desire the gifts of the Spirit, especially that we may prophesy.

Holy Spirit, Giver of Gifts Acts 2:1-13 1 Corinthians 12:4–11 ESV Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of…

[thankyou-g]

”For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.“

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The gifts of the Godhead Part 3f

The power gifts of the Holy Spirit; Miracles, Faith, and Gifts of healings

The power gifts of the Holy Spirit are the gifts most likely to cause a stir and draw a crowd! This is the case for distinct reasons; firstly, most people have unmet needs in their lives. Many people need a miracle or require a gift of faith to overcome some huge obstacle in their lives or desire a healing touch from the Lord.

Another reason these gifts are so popular is that Christians love to see God move in power!

However, although most, if not all of us would love to see the power gifts in operation, there are certain dangers for the believers who operate in these gifts. Sometimes we love the Lord's deeds more than we love His person! People will often flock to a healing or miracle meeting but would not come to a teaching on the attributes of God.

We must desire the Giver Himself not just His gifts.

We must love God first for who He is and not for what He gives us.

People will travel for miles to see a man or woman with a reputation for doing miracles. Such ministers often get put on a pedestal and folks can forget it is the Holy Spirit who is glorifying Jesus Christ by performing the miracles etc.

Ministers who operate in these power gifts often become unapproachable and sadly in some cases fall into serious sin. Pride comes before a fall! The church must take its share of the blame if we put these ministers under such a pressure of high expectation that they just cannot cope.

We become disappointed when we find out these men have 'feet of clay,’ but we should have known better than to look at the man anyway!

Miracles [1],[2]

These are when God glorifies Himself by intervening in the natural processes in a supernatural way. This usually involves a dramatic shortening of the time scale of the natural process. For example, all healing is performed by God who gives and maintains life. If He did not supply the healing power to all of our bodies, we would die. But when Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the Devil, he either shortened the time scale of healing from gradual to instantaneous (or) or instigated an otherwise impossible feat.

The miracle of turning the water into wine is an example since it is God who produces all wine from water (and other ingredients). At the wedding in Cana Jesus simply speeded up the process!

Similarly in the case of the feeding of the five thousand with the loaves and fishes, it is the Lord who multiplies seed for bread and fishes, Jesus just did it in a quicker and more supernatural way.

God can miraculously stretch things out like the barrel of meal and the cruse of oil!

1 Kings 17:14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

Corrie Ten Boom's little bottle of vitamins lasted for months in the concentration camp!

Some Christians have reported driving hundreds of miles on one gallon of petrol!

God will sometimes do this type of miracle but only when it is really needed. (the clutch had gone in my car but I prayed God would enable me to drive it to the repair shop. The mechanic could not believe I had driven it there with no clutch!

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs [3] following. Amen.

Miracles, signs, and wonders [4] follow the believers. Signs draw our attention to God and seek to cause us to believe in him and his power. They also confirm that it is the authentic word of God that has been preached.

Whereas wonders are directed towards our imagination and are given to get us

thinking about the awesomeness of God.

When a deadly snake bit Paul while in Malta, the natives expected him to die but God preserved his life as a miraculous sign to the Maltese.

The word "Sign" (semeion) in the New Testament is used of miracles and are taken as evidence of divine authority. Sometimes it is translated as "miracle.”

The New Testament writers also used dunamis, meaning power or inherent ability, to refer to activity of supernatural origin or character (Mark 6:2; Acts 8:13; 19:11; Rom. 15:19; 1 Cor. 12:10,28,29; Gal. 3:5; 2 Thess. 2:9; Heb. 2:4).

Also the word "Work" (ergon) is also employed in the New Testament in the sense of "miracle." John the Baptist heard of the "works" of Jesus while he was in prison (Matt. 11:2). The apostle John used the term frequently in his Gospel (5:20,36; 7:3; 10:38; 14:11,12; 15:24).

Amen

Personal Prayer

Footnotes

[1] 1411. dunamis, doo'-nam-is, from G1410; force (lit. or fig.); spec. miraculous power (usually by impl. a miracle itself): --ability, abundance, meaning, might (-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle (-s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work.

[2] How do miracles relate to the natural order? Christian thinkers have responded in diverse ways throughout the centuries. Some hold that miracles are not contrary to nature (Augustine and C. S. Lewis, for instance). This harmony view contends that human knowledge with limited perspective does not fully understand or comprehend the higher laws that God employs in working the miraculous. Others (like Thomas Aquinas) have maintained miracles stand outside the laws of nature. This approach is called the intervention view, based on their belief that God intervenes in the natural order to do the miraculous.

[3] The basic nature of a sign is that it points people to God. "Wonders" describe God's supernatural activity, a special manifestation of His power (Ex. 7:3), Wonders can serve as a sign of a future event. Signs seek to bring belief (Ex. 4:5; compare 10:2), but they do not compel a person to believe (Ex. 4:9). We should join the Psalmist in confessing that the God of Israel "alone works wonders" (Ps. 72:18 NASB).

[4] "Wonders" (teras) translates a Greek word from which the word terror comes. It denotes something unusual that causes the beholder to marvel. Although it usually follows "signs," it sometimes precedes it (Acts 2:22,43; 6:8) or occurs alone (as in Acts 2:19).

Whereas a sign appeals to the understanding, a wonder appeals to the imagination. "Wonders" are usually presented as God's activity.

Next time in The gifts of the Godhead Part 3g we will consider the other two power gifts of the Holy Spirit i.e. faith and gifts of healings.
