1 Corinthians 12: 5 – 8 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit [of all]: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
Before I launch into what may be another controversial BLOG let me give a brief conference update. I spoke three different times yesterday. The mood is good, the spirits are high and the word is going forth by all of the speakers. I spent some quality time with Gary and Doris Stearman yesterday and the conversation, as always, was enlightening. We then had dinner with Bob and Krissy Ulrich who joined us with the Stearmans.
Dallas is a maze of road construction and poor signage. We got lost several times on the way to dinner, and that’s with a GPS in both cars! I will speak again at 1pm this afternoon and then it’s off to the airport and back home. Thanks to all of you who have prayed for us while on the road!
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
Paul is telling us here that there are going to be differences in how the gifts of the spirit are going to be used, but makes it very clear that these gifts are from the SAME Lord. If we go to James we see this theme repeated where James tells us: all good gifts are from the Father of Lights! Another way of looking at this is to grasp that God will administer these gifts in a variety of ways, but when they are in operation they are from him.
James 1:7 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
For those of you who have dismissed this teaching and believe the gifts are NOT relevant for today, I would admonish you to hang in there as we will look at this from scripture and put it into perspective for the church today!
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
Paul is informing us that there are a variety of operations when the gifts, which come from the father of lights, are being used. He again informs us a second time that is the SAME Lord/God that is working in all of the gifts. In other words these gifts are not from man. They are not something that is done in the flesh, or something that we can somehow dredge up from the depths of our souls. They come from the Father of lights and thus are heavenly gifts which should be used for the building up of the body of Messiah! They are not the stuff we see on TV, where some huckster closes his eyes and then tells us if we send him $1000 dollar seed-faith offering that God will bless us. I believe the gifts from the Father are still in operation today, and they should be viewed with awe and reverence. They should not be taken lightly and they are used to advance the kingdom as they are signs and wonders of a living, holy, loving God.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit [of all]:
Here we see the spirit of the living God manifesting. Paul makes it very clear that the Spirit is given to each one, but it is not used for self edification, or to exalt a man or woman, but for the profit of all! Now lets look at the first of these gifts that are mentioned.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
How many of us lack wisdom? How many of us long for understanding? When praying with people who are burdened and under the pressure of Satan, the accuser of our souls, how can we begin to understand the depth of their problems? This is a good time to ask for the Spirit of wisdom, which is given by our Father so we can lift the burden. We act in His behalf to set the captives free! We see this same statement given to us by James. He admonishes us to ask for wisdom if we lack it.
James 1: 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But then he adds this: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James is pointing out that it is by faith we ask. In other words, we come to the given situation with nothing, as we have nothing but our faith. When we ask the Father for wisdom in a situation we are admitting that we don’t know the answer to the problem. We are admitting that we need “heavenly” wisdom that is not from our minds and flesh, to come into the situation.
Now what is wrong with this gift? How can we take offense in this? How can we say that this is not for us today? Who amongst us doesn’t need wisdom? Why would we turn our back on this or say we don’t need this? What can possibly be wrong with asking the Father for wisdom? Hello?
In closing todays Bun: When we ask for wisdom, we then must wait for the answer, for the wisdom to come into the situation. Sometimes it will come immediately other times it may take a few days or even weeks to get the wisdom that we need to apply to a given situation. This is where we must learn to be patient and also to know the voice of the Father. Jesus tells us; my sheep know my voice?
This is where our faith comes into operation and we keep on asking for the gift of wisdom. We ask not for ourselves so we can make a wise choice on the stock market or the horse races, but we ask for wisdom to advance the kingdom, His kingdom. All of us need to begin to exercise this first gift. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fear is not cowering in a corner but coming to an understanding that He is God! It is a reverence for Him!
One last thing. After Paul goes through the list of gifts, he then tells us that the best gift is the gift of love. Before some of you jump all over this and send me nasty emails, think about this, are we acting in love for each other on this blog? Jesus tells us; they will know you by the love you have for each other! We should think about this admonishment before we use our words. Words are like feathers in the wind, once they are said they cannot be gathered back up again. The gift of wisdom is for today, let’s begin to ask for it when needed and walk in this gift! How wonderful is our God!

The Armor of God is Spiritual Armor. We need some measure of all of it. Without it we are naked in battle. And worse, by rejecting God’s Armor we reject Christ. Here’s how.
Armor (Eph. 6 & Isa.59) :
1 Salvation … Christ is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11, who gives his life…)
2 Word … Christ is the Bread of Life (John 6:35-51, John 1, and Manna, Daily Bread)
3 Peace … Christ is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25)
4 Truth … Christ is the Truth (John 14:6, the Way, the Truth, and the Life)
5 Faith … Christ is the Son of God (John 10:30-38, as first born, first begotten **)
6 Right … Christ is the Door of the Sheepfold (John 10:9)
7 Zeal (*) … Christ is the True Vine (John 15:1+)
(* Isaiah 59:17, cp. Luke 4 & Isaiah 61, We need the whole counsel of the Word of God.)
(** Christ is our High Priest and Chief Apostle)
As the Lamb, Y’shua is worthy to receive all:
1 Glory … from Grace multiplied, as we continue with Him (**)
2 Riches … from Obedience multiplied, **
3 Power … from Peace multiplied, **
4 Wisdom … from Truth multiplied, **
5 Strength … from Faith multiplied, **
6 Blessing … from Service multiplied, **
7 Honor … from Justice multiplied, **
So as we follow Christ, helping Him care for others, Grace becomes Glory, Obedience becomes Riches, and so on.
These are the jewels of His Crown, the 7 Eyes of His 7 Horns, as the Lamb Slain.
God’s Armor comes from His Spirit. He’s the Vine, we are the branches. We are His offspring, spiritually. When we open our hearts to Him, asking for more of His Spirit, wanting even the best gifts, He gives us more. We’ll never hunger and thirst for Him without being filled.
But as with Elisha and Elijah, more of His Spirit means that we need to help Him more. We’re meant to be a flowing river of life. Elisha had the double portion and did twice the works of Elisha in kind. Perhaps too much considering that he lost his protege and that his bones were potent enough to raise the dead. There’s no call to be a workaholic.
And in fractal pattern, or reflections, or foreshadowings, or in resonances, or in echoes, or holographic….
The Spirit of God is found throughout History, Testimony, and Prophecy.
1 The Spirit of Glory (1 Pt. 4:14)
2 The Spirit of Prophecy (Rev. 19:10)
3 The Spirit of Life (Rev. 11:11)
4 The Spirit of Truth (John 14:6)
5 The Spirit of Praise (Isa. 61:3)
6 The Spirit of Meekness (Gal. 6:1)
7 The Spirit of Revelation (Eph. 1:17)
Should I tell you of how this matches Christ’s Ministries, or His Holy Days, the Tabernacle Furnishings, or His Mission? I have been. But you don’t need me to teach you these things. You need the Holy Ghost. What little I know comes from His primary gift to me, through the Spirit of Understanding (…prophecy, preaching, His Word).
1st John 2
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Abide in Him, beloved. Abide in the Vine. Follow Jesus, He is Christ. Yeshua is Messiah. You need Him to really love Him and others.
Though we understand all mysteries…
The Spirit of God is His Dynamic (Dynamo), God in Action.
- The Father = God Who was…
- The Son = God Who is… (the “I Am”)
- The Holy Spirit = God Who is to come … In continuance
All 3 always exist spiritually in each moment as One.
- The past is safely in the Hands of the Father.
- We share the present with the Son.
- The future is soon coming, even in the instant, delivered by the Holy Ghost.
And we are made in His image.
We each have past, present, and future, yet are one.
He is also eternal and beyond time.
…without lovingkindness (righteousness, service, charity) — for others
It means nothing.
And we can each have Him — share life with Him — through His Spirit. All at the same time. That’s why Christ went to Heaven physically — so that He could send His Spirit to us.
John 15
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come, Lord Jesus.
Yea, Lord, please come quickly. We long to see your face.
nomemoleste said
correction: Elisha did twice the works of Elijah
… with the double portion of the Spirit. Given for the good of all.

Hey Nome,
your statement “Though we understand all mysteries…
“The Spirit of God is His Dynamic (Dynamo), God in Action.
- The Father = God Who was…
- The Son = God Who is… (the “I Am”)
- The Holy Spirit = God Who is to come … In continuance

- The past is safely in the Hands of the Father.
- We share the present with the Son.
- The future is soon coming, even in the instant, delivered by the Holy Ghost.”
Here is how He taught something similar to me:
The Old testament is that Father testifying to the Son
The Gospels is the Son who testifies of Himself
From Act – Revelations is the Holy Spirit testifying of the Son
Same thing you are stating just taught me so my mind could get it.
Too:. When He states “Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established”…These three are also three witnesses that testify about the Son and in doing so establishing Truth.
Way back when, in a court, if you had two or three witnesses testifying to the same thing it was considered truth.
God Bless

Aye darla. And Abba teaches us in ways we can remember using memory aids.
When I started seriously studying the Bible for myself, it’s like I had a big empty warehouse with no organization nor shelves. I kinda just dumped everything into piles.
Then it became more like a castle to me or fortress, where the drawbridge was the Gospels.
That led to mapping that surprised me, which still reflects what you were shown about the OT, Gospels, and NT.
I began to see that scripture had been intentionally organized.
And that helped provide the shelves I needed to remember where things fit.
dsharp200 said
God is so awesome the way He teaches ( Holy Ghost) us so that our minds, which all process differently, no matter how diverse we all are, should all come to the same conclusion of TRUTH….I love learning and seeing how other people are taught by Him and process info. I had a friend in Alaska who would come at me from a whole different thought process on something but the outcome would be the SAME conclusion…sometimes we would just cross our eyes at each other and wonder how we each processed so differently but ultimately came up with the same conclusion.
dsharp200 said
and..Nice mapping Nome…I learn from you!
John Michael said
Yes, a double portion. Happy New Year brother.
dsharp200 said
Hey Nome,
Here is a little rabbit trail that might be interesting mapping material. Your mapping is more detailed than how I map things out. I see things on a bigger scale with less detail. I see you having more detailed in your mapping.
So here goes check this out:
Abraham
Isaac
Esau & Jacob
Esau = “The older will serve the younger” Jacob =“Jacob I loved but Esau I hated
Esau represents the flesh Jacob represents the spirit
Esau and Jacob were twins who warred against each other
Our flesh and our spirit are like twins and war against each other
So in the garden in the beginning we were designed spirit and soul and body but because of the fall man, we were let say…. Inverted in a sense, for lack of a better term and now we are ruled by the body (flesh), soul and spirit.
Through Christ with His Spirit working on the inside of us we can once again be ruled by the Spirit and bring our flesh under subjection to that spirit.
Here is my thought process Nome: What if someone were to map this out in the books. I realized they are mapped out through OLD & NEW testament as far as the old representing the flesh and the new representing the spirit but I wonder if there is a mapping out in a more detailed pattern?

LA, if you think Dallas is bad, try San Antonio. I’m telling you, if you miss your exit off the freeway; you will have to drive another 15 miles before you can turn around. Somehow their freeways seem to take you in a constant loop…it’s like the twilight zone you can never get off the freeway, you see the same signs and billboards over and over again. We have so many detours on roads here tourists traveling on highways in Texas should call themselves detourists. The state highway commission spends so much time making detours that they don’t have any time left to work on any roads. The worst crime in some streets is the way the city keeps them repaired. They tell us in the local paper that there isn’t enough money to fill all the potholes, well, how about painting the edges red so we can at least dodge them? Since the entire state seems to be under road construction I have learned contentment is the ability to enjoy the scenery along a detour.
The airport here has been under construction since 1972, I’m not kidding either. It will never be finished, and if you saw how hard they worked at it, you could understand why it’s been under construction for 40 years, I believe a sloth with tendinitis could move faster.
And talk about bad signage, the worst I ever saw was in Austin, it said “Prepare to Meet Thy Road maker–Construction Ahead– Travel at Own Risk.”
And the funniest thing about it all is more than half of the people that drive in Texas do not have a driver’s license or insurance. If you get hit and it’s their fault, they take off, leaving you holding the bag…but the good news is my city has reached out to the poor misfortunate and misunderstood folks who refuse to learn English and has now made it possible for them to take the drivers test in over 15 different languages, and even going as far as putting up street signs in these languages. God Bless America, the Land that I Loved??

Here in Michigan we say there are 2 seasons; winter and road work! And my favorite sign is a graphic without any words to eliminate the need for choosing a language? It is a stick man reading a book with an arrow beneath…..I guess that is so the illiterate can know where to go for books?

Try Los Angeles! You learn to watch the “gaps” moving towards you from both ways, when you are waiting to cross intersections without stop lights. “Gaps” are the distances between cars. When you see that two gaps, based on their approaching speeds will be directly in front of you, you get ready to dash through those gaps to the other side. No poking around or you will have cars behind you honking in inpatience. In California it is almost instinctive to pay attention to those gaps. God bless the Ozarks…you can drive to a town 20 miles away not meet one approaching car.
seashoremary said
Amen. Great post. Looking forward to the series on spiritual gifts.
re: roads in San Antonio…I live approx 3 hrs away. On one trip I was a passenger in the back seat and it was dark when we arrived. We were looking for our hotel but I kept noticing a restaurant almost every 4 blocks. I finally mentioned it “Gee they sure must like Jack In The Box here. I keep seeing them on so much!” Laughter hit the van and was told, “Mary, we’re lost!”

4 Hours away myself, 2 to Corpus, then 2 to the Valley. Coming back down to the Border from Austin, I’ve taken that long detour once. The interstate going south meets the San Antonio loop on their east side. Somehow I went west into the northern part of the loop, rather than keeping east. I had time like Matt, so I figured I’d drive around the loop and see San Antonio. That was a looooong drive. Once around was enough.
The main problem with winter conferences is weather. Dallas definitely gets plenty of ice.
All the more reason to have paid access for webcasts, whether video or audio. Then the audience could be worldwide. That said, there’s the DVDs and such available afterwards.
“https://futurecongress.com/category/store/dvd/”
Travel considered, if it’s got to be in winter, it’s likely better as a set of webcasts. Not that power and other interference couldn’t be a problem…
Here’s Russ Dizdar’s webcast concerning his mother and her passing into Glory.

There will be some people saved from all churches because Love is the key. What is it to love someone, it is to choose and enter a relationship. And it is because Christ first loved us that we are able to love. Without love then by definition there is no relationship.
Mariel Strauss said
The Spirit has informed me that my son is not a nephelim even though he has red hair and had a vestigial 6th finger at birth. I believe the existence of such people in the world today is not evidence of nephelim among us.
Yes, there were nephelim in ancient times, as the Bible records, but my Holy Spirit tells me that evidence of them existing today is flawed. I am going to stop going to all websites which put out this flawed information. May the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Mariel
dsharp200 said
I must have missed something…I persoanlly do not believe all red heads are nephelim…
I may be wrong here but when the bibles states that a person was “fair” didn’t that mean red headed? Wasn’t David “fair” ( red head)…I could be wrong but I alway thought that ‘fair” meant red head….
Hey Rose if you are out there can you look in that Hebrew info you have? I am curious myself.

1 Samuel 17 (David vs. Goliath)
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him:
for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
“http://biblelexicon.org/1_samuel/17-42.htm”
and ruddy, וְאַדְמֹנִ֖י ve·’ad·mo·ni 132 red, ruddy from the same as adom
dsharp200 said
I am slow today…so are you saying the same thing?
nomemoleste said
Same idea, different angle. David was red in appearance, which was part of the reason the giant disdained him. Red headed or red faced, I can’t say.
But compare with how the term is used for Esau as a hairy babe, as a Strong’s search.
“http://biblesuite.com/hebrew/132.htm”
Gen. 25
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red [ruddy], all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
dsharp200 said
Hey Nome, Lets looks at this ..in verse 42 it says his countenance was fair….
a fair countenance i do no think would be a countenance of anger would you?
David had faith..he knew he would beat the giant therefore his countenance was fair don’t you think….so I am thinking the “ruddy” is truly red haired?
nomemoleste said
Well we have lots of redskins with black hair considering my ancestors on one side, but I definitely get plenty of red hair in my beard from another side.
King David’s line doesn’t trace back to Esau… Judah and Jacob of course. So he didn’t get his red that way. Possibly by intermarriage among his ancestors? Who can tell?
As for Ruth, (definitely in David’s lineage, of Ruth and Boaz fame regarding the Book of Ruth). She was a Moabitess, which traces back to Lot and his daughters, then back to Terah (via Haran), Abraham’s father (Terah that is). The Moabites, Edomites, Canaanites, etc. likely intermarried.
So I gotta say, I have no conclusion. It’s not definite in the text.
As regards Mariel’s concerns…
If neandertals had red hair, then plenty if not most of us have nephilim contaminated blood that have neandertal DNA. By my guess they’re the same (neandertal = nephilim offspring).
I count myself as born in the rebel camp, contaminated both physically and spiritually as children of the devil — yet saved by Grace through Christ and reborn by His Spirit. I’m dead to the old man and born again spiritually a new creature by Christ’s great salvation. And definitely looking forward to the adoption of our resurrected physical bodies with complete correction of the defects — caused by the fall — in these present bodies of flesh.
So yes, 6 fingers or some teeth in back of teeth might mean more nephilim DNA contamination or attempted manipulation — as might any genetic anomaly. Who’s exempt? Same solution — Jesus — who by His own blood covers our sin and forgets them (Hebrews 8:12 & 10:17).
Psalm 45
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:
for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
Revelation 19
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him:
for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:
for the fine linen is the righteousness [lovingkindess] of saints.

Richard A. said
I must admit that I have struggled with the question of gifts for the entirety of my nearly fifty years as a Christian. I was saved in a Missionary Baptist church that did not teach that the gifts were active.
Later in life, I married into a family that attended a church where they spoke in tongues and prophesied every service.
I had the distinct impression that many spoke in tongues for attention. My Mother-in-law would always utter the same sounds over and over. She would shift the order of sounds every so often.
Her husband would then “interpret”. The interpetations would vary week to week even though the sounds stayed essentially the same.
Most of the time the services would quickly turn into everyone speaking in tongues and the preacher hardly ever preached an entire coherent sermon. It seemed that the preacher would rile up the congregation in order to get things going. They actually called this “priming the pump”.The whole experience left me feeling very skeptical.
I presently feel ambivalent about the issue. I have actually prayed for God to reveal my gift if I have one. I must admit that I have not recognized it within me if it is there. Sometimes I think that maybe my faith is just too weak.
I would appreciate the prayers of anyone here directed my way concerning this issue.
Ally said
Richard-i will pray for you! Its possible you have ben walking in it all along and you never even knew it. For some people, their gift is so much a part of them that they never even see it. Like the man who fixes all the neighbors broken things, our the kid that rescues all the hurt animals our the chef who makes the most awesome food. They might never speak in tongues or interpret yet are walking in the special gift God gave them!
One of the ways I know the gift if wisdom is real…..satan conterfits it all the time! Psychics.
keep us updated! I love answered prayer
dsharp200 said
Good morning Richard,
I want you to know that you have been in my prayers and I appreciate you very much on this site. You are my NEWS guy..I appreciate your efforts in all that you do keeping us informed.
I met a true minister of God years ago and he moves in child like faith. He moves in the miracles of God and has a prophetic mantle on his life aslo. One day he heard that God was replacing old tooth filling with gold fillings in peoples mouths.
He didn’t believe God would replace fillings with gold..Why not just give the person a whole new tooth! He went before God and began praying for God to show him what was going on. He also was a bit upset because he moved in the prophetic and quoted the scripture about God never doing anything without first revealing it to his servant the prophets…So He TOLD God that God did not tell Him that He would be replacing peoples fillings with Gold….The man of God was sincere but very skeptical about these gold fillings. He went before God and God gently rebuked him. The Lord told this servant that he had place a judgment on what God was doing therefore this servant of God would not be able to step out in that gift even though this servant moved in other signs and wonders. God showed him because of “this judgment” that it was keeping him from seeing this very miracle. This servant of God repented and asked God to forgive and cleanse him. Shortly after that this servant started moving in this gift. I personally have sat in his meetings and it is kind of different but peoples teeth fillings do indeed get replaced with gold. I have stood with flash lights and watched peoples fillings turn to gold along with hundreds of other witnesses. I know people have heard of this and do not believe this but I was there..I too saw this happen.It is real
I guess I have two points here that may help…
1) If we make a “judgement” against God we must go before Him to make it right and He DOES cleanse us from that. Just as if we had made a wrong judgement against a brother we would go to him and tell him we were sorry.
2) When he (the servant) was thinking that God would just put in a whole new tooth? This man was determining he knew exactly how God would do something thus putting God in a box. God works in mysterious ways….
God bless you Richard and you are in my prayers

Richard,
You might want to take a Spiritual Gifts Inventory or Test. They’re available in many places on the web.
For instance:
“http://www.firstbaptistnashville.org/resources/spiritual-gifts-inventory/”
The test takes a bit of effort, but it totals your marks automatically.
I scored high in discernment, knowledge (highest), prophecy, and teaching (2nd highest). And low in administration, hospitality (lowest), mercy, and shepherding (2nd lowest).
They say it’s just a starting point. As a self-assessment it’s accurate. Which probably means that the first job I get in the hereafter will be as a host learning how to properly extend hospitality. Either that or “plumber’s helper.”
Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for God’s righteousness — for they will be filled.

You are a good sheppard LAMarzulli! I see the love in your words. I was very sad that I could not make the trip to Texas when I read the schedule…but golly gee, I saved all that gas money, and hotel fees, by ordering the “Works” which is all the DVD’s of the workshops! Can’t wait to get them!
I prayed for knowledge and understanding when I was a wee child so I would not hate my parents, and so I would know everything I could about my wonderful loving Eternal Father. He supplied it abundantly, and I than understood why they were like they were due to their history. I totally loved God as a child (still do), more than anything, and all that He created, except humans….(until I had my first child, and than later in life He told me that is why He put me on earth to love His people…so I do,…. but not touchy feely, unless I see they are attached to Him, than my love is abundant.) To me….love…is acting for the betterment of others….bringing them to a better place. That gift He gave me as a child has always served me well, (tho it was not given in the long run, as you say for personal gain….but to better understand and love, and serve His people…but in the short term it helped me survive by understanding my parents). In school it gave me discernment to know what would be on the tests, what the teacher valued the most, what the words in the texts meant, etc. and so I was always prepared. So…a Gift is always given for the purpose that God fashions within His Will to be used for all, but it also is a blessing to the giftee that enhances their own life also. Just as we are to set aside our egos for God’s Will, we are to use any gift given, and our own innate self for the betterment of others….to serve.

Richard A., ….perhaps you have the gift of discernment….being able to recognize what is from God and what is from the human mind.

Greetings in Jesus Richard A., …I most certainly will lift you up in prayer, I understand exactly what you are saying. Seek the truth and you will find it, you know that. I believe that God knows your heart. He knows the questions you have. He knows what you see in church. He knows. I also believe that He knows you are not doubting Him. Perhaps your faith is much stronger than you think. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Seek the gifts Richard A., but I would encourage you to surround yourself with those who do not elevate the gifts above the giver. God bless and I am more than happy to be praying for you brother!

How beautiful those spiritual gifts are! Now if I could just get my tree to fruit mo better! You know what I’m talking about. I am so happy about the love and openess here among us. That is good fruit!
don’t have an option, I had to spiritual warfare like crazy last time I lived there. Well keep you updated . Christs blood is sufficient but sometimes those bumpy night things really dont want to go! And they have no problem showing up in the daytime either.
LA-thank you for following Jesus! Cuz my life would be a whole lot harder with out you guys in it!
I’ve been in the process of moving so I haven’t posted lately. The place I am going is well, haunted
I love you guys!

One practical way to show love in our day and age is to educate yourself on the devastating effects psychotropic drugs are having on our society, especially our young people.
This documentary is worth your time. Drug companies are murdering people and it is the ignorance of people and their loved ones that is allowing this to happen.

I don’t expect you to believe me when I tell you that our government is murdering U.S. citizens both deliberately and by default.
I don’t expect you to believe me when I tell you that four U.S. presidents were murdered (Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy) due to their opposition to the globalist-banker cabal.
What I do expect Christians to do is ask the Holy Spirit to show them every lie they have believed. And then hold on tight because He WILL.

Great Word and Bun today. Thanks for taking the time out in the middle of everything else that’s going on to keep in touch. Praying for safe travels for everyone.
I’m sorry that FC2 wasn’t more well attended although I’m not really surprised given this *is* right after the holidays and people’s finances probably factored into that along with some potential weather and travel logistics in certain areas of the country. This IS the dead of winter.
I admit that I scratched my head a little bit at some of the FC2 planning logistics but hey, what do I know?
I’m sure you all had a wonderful and blessed time in any event and I wish I could have gone. It isn’t about quantity but quality anyways.
Mary Lofts said
Dear LA
The gifts of the spirit are for all who ask and with a pure heart just want to please God. I have seen deceiving spirits also at work. Anything good that God provides for His own, will be attacked and distorted by the evil one. So.many people have been frighten or put off by distorted and some downright demonic demonstrations that claim to be “spirit filled”.The Holy Spirit gifts do not create fear…but peace and joy and increase your Faith. Our gifts of the spirit are treasures to be used to enrich the body of Christ. But, it really takes that pure heart to use a gift the way God intends. We must.pray for a pure heart of love..then we can be blessed to use these gifts as God gives. I have read much of what LA has published and am convinced he is operating truly in the gifts . Thank-you dear brother for being my watchman..so many of us depend on your courage and tenacity for the truth. God go.with you.

It amazes me that any professing Christian should ever be “nasty” as you say L.A., yet it happens all the time. I run into people, as many of us do all the time that are not yet believers, and their greatest hindrance in becoming followers of Jesus is because they know Christians that are unkind, mean-spirited, self-righteous, etc.! Now of course we know that the church is full of sinners, but the perpetual lack of love displayed by many should not be! How sad it is that many of us are unloving and uncaring on how Christ is reflected to others in their own life. Why can’t we disagree in love? Let us stop declaring our rights, and humble ourselves as did our King. The world should know we are Christians by our love…not because of a political belief or because we are hitting people over the head with our bibles.
dsharp200 said
I agree with you Gary,
I would like to add though..That I think our political belief should be made clear…not based on Democrat or Republican but about how our government should have it foundations upon Godly principles….I think that is part of the reason our government has gone astray because we do not have enough believing voices in high positions to truly take a stand.. I believe Christ was political for that time and remember “The GOVERNEMENt will be on His shoulders”..Yes it will be a different government not like we know today but it still is referring to a GOVERNMENT…..just a thought.

L.A. thank you for the timely blog post. Of course, the gifts are for today. Jesus didn’t give the Comforter at Pentecost then take Him away when the canon was complete. That would be ludicrous. Jesus said He would be with us always, even to the end of the age, and how we need Him (the Holy Spirit) in this dark hour when the enemy and all forms of deception rage. May we all be gifted with discernment and the word of knowledge and constantly be wearing the full armor of God! Satan counterfeits the gifts. You don’t counterfeit something unless the real is present.

There is lots of good preaching and teaching on Christian tv. And spiritual gifts and ministries in work. Just because some of them go wrong it doesnt mean all is bad. Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus’ disciples, that doesnt make Jesus a false teacher.
I often listen to this radio station:
“http://wofr.org”
Most of it is very good and edifying, and uplifting for your spirit.

Exquisitely well said!
The gifts of the Holy Ghost is given to each for the good of all
– as the tender mercies and the very key of David
– which rests in the hands of Jesus Christ.
Memory aid: (1 Cor. 12, Luke 4/Isaiah 61, Isaiah 11)
1 word of knowledge … preach Good News … Spirit of knowledge (*)
2 prophecy … restore sight to the blind … Spirit of understanding
3 gifts of healing … heal the broken hearted … Spirit of counsel
4 word of wisdom … deliver the captives … Spirit of wisdom
5 faith … free the abused … Spirit of might
6 working of miracles … proclaim debts relieved … Spirit of the Lord
7 discerning of spirits … and the Day of Vengeance … Spirit of honor (fear of the Lord)
(* think about the Woman at the Well)
No doubt tongues and interpretation fits in also. And hopefully easier to remember.

LA, your comments are always timely and most needed today. We need to remember, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
today and forever.” – Heb.13:8 So His gifts will be as well. I love the BUN, your blog and look forward to your magazine. I
have purchased everything you create. Will DVDs come from the latest conferences? My Bible study group and I look
forward to your pearls of “wisdom” for they can only be Holy Spirit inspired. You make the complex simple so many for the
first time are getting “The Cosmic Chess Match” and the need for armor. I am astonished and enriched by your Biblical
insights and know you are blessing millions. Hold fast and please keep going. I pray for your eyes, which seem tired, and
a hedge of protection for your and family and brothers and sister in faith and, of course, for traveling mercies. “Love” in
Christ, Vicki Lynn

Part 7 and 8 of the documentary “Expellled” outlines the implications of atheistic Darwinian evolutionary beliefs and it’s connection to Nazi and postmodern humanist views or eugenics and population control. This may explain the dire concerns expressed in the above video clip.

Wow, this more than bothers me as the mother of a 27 yr. old son who is profoundly autistic. I love him, my family loves him, my church family loves hims well. What ever happened to Jesus statement about; the first shall be last and the last shall be first? Also, in as much as you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to Me.

Parallels in History and Prophecy for Israel and the Church
disclaimer:
- This presentation is great but needs to include the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins especially as regards the Bride of Christ
- Likewise the protection of the Philadelphian church from the hour of temptation that comes upon the world… [Philadelphian overcomers = those who share in lovingkindness for others with Our Lord Jesus]
Rev. 3
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience,
I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, [temptation to join the 666 system]
which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. [earthers]
