God has given each of us a gift(s) or talent(s)?  He gave some preachers, teachers, helpers, exhorters, etc.  Are you operating in the gift(s) or talent(s) what God has given?

 

These gifts will not only build up the Kingdom of God, but in Proverbs 18:16, it says it will make room for you!  God is looking for us to multiply the talents of what He gave each of us.  In Matt 25:14-30 speaks about the 3 men with the talents.

 

This is a great example of how God wants to bless us with the talents we sow to serve the world.

 

If we don’t seek God for guidance, wisdom and knowledge of how to increase them, they will surely be taken away.  We, as Royal heirs of God’s Kingdom, should never be without.

 

Asking God what is our purpose in life, what is our destiny, Will open the door for God to manifest His will and purpose through our lives and in our lives.

 

Peace and blessings to all…

With all due respect, the 5-fold ministries are not all the gifts of the Spirit.  In the book of 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 speaks of the nine gifts of the Spirit...

  1. 1.      The Word of Knowledge
  2. 2.      The Word of Wisdom
  3. 3.      The Gift of Prophecy
  4. 4.      The Gift of Faith
  5. 5.      The Gifts of Healings
  6. 6.      The Working of Miracles
  7. 7.      The Discerning of Spirits
  8. 8.      Different Kinds of Tongues
  9. 9.      The Interpretation of Tongues

These are for the edifying for the body of Christ as well.  These are spiritual gifts.  God has given each of us natural gifts to serve the world.  They may not be one of these 9 but their gifts is to bring the body of Christ together as well as help us deal with this natural life.

God has examples for everything we face.

The Old Testament is for our learning and Yes Proverbs 18:16 does apply to what God has given us.  When there are natural gifts within us, if we, as Children of God dedicate all which God has given us back to Him, He will use it for His glory and God will be magnified with what we do....

 

With all due respect, I think you need to read Proverbs 18:16 again.  It does say it will make room for us.

Proverbs 18:16 KJV - 16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

Bless You as Well..

What the Spirit of the Lord has opened up to me is there is wisdom with our natural as well as spiritual gifting. This has to do with our every day decisions as well...

 

No disrespect, but what the Spirit of the Lord opens up to you doesn't mean this is the message He gave me.  The Spirit of the Lord Ministers to each individual, according to the needs.  I respect your opinion, but I only write what God reveals to me.

 

By the way, I'm not in an African American church.  I attend a multi-cultural church.  And when someone mentions that, instead of saying it, we should pray for the body of Christ that God will open their hearts and minds to receive the word of Truth. It’s through the ignorance of God people which causes the devil to trip them up to try and make them fall...

 

There are so many deceived by the angel of light which is the devil is disguise...

But I see him as well.  This is what keeps me from falling into false doctrine.... I’m not swayed by every wind and doctrine which comes my way. 

 

Thank God for His grace....Only the Blood of Jesus can keep us covered as long as we dwell in the secret places of the Most High...

First of all, I will not debate what the Spirit of God has revealed to me.  The Word of God states, the letter kills, but it's the Spirit of God which gives life.  So many people are going to seminary schools only to learn the letter.  I'm not saying this isn't a good thing.  But when the Spirit of God doesn't give the revelation of the letter, all you have is the word. 

 

This does not know who God is.  The Word of God is planted in our hearts which the Spirit of God can reveal to us God's ways and His works. 

 

I rebuke you in the name Jesus for denouncing what God is doing in my life.  I know what the Spirit of God has done, has bought me out of and how God is manifesting Himself to me.  Who are you to say God didn't give me that revelation...

 

This judgment is from the Spirit of the Pharisees and the Sadducees which mocked Jesus even as He walked on earth in the flesh...

 

You say you're a minister, but God ministers will always pray and ask God for insight if you feel something I said that you didn't agree with.

 

God gives different revelations to all people and what He gave me may not be necessary for you eyes or ears. 

 

But who's to say it didn't come from God...  But there is wisdom with giving an answer to every man who ask.  The word of God states, Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Matthew 7:6

First of all, I will not apologize for anything I said as it was from the Spirit of God.  We have to be lead by the Spirit in all things.

Paul, rebuked, corrected, exhorted in the love of God.  There are so many who have degrees but are not being lead by God's Spirit.

I will not be bought under the power of any except those who are lead by the Spirit of God.

I am very open to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.  But when a title gets in the way, God will also reveal that as well.

I think when someone is in an error, those who are meek, should go to them in the Spirit of love and let them know what the error is.

God didn't give us a Spirit of manipulation to try and control any one's thoughts or minds to even see as they see.

The Body of Christ has many different members, but not all have the same functions.

When there are many different interpretations, but one Spirit...Because I don’t see how you see, does that make me wrong?  I don’t think so...

When God is blessing one, we all should rejoice when they rejoice as how God is using them.

I've been writing for a few years and God has opened doors which no man can shut.  If you see anyone in an error, the best you can do is pray for that person that God will open their eyes and heart to accept the truth.

When you said what you said on the first post, you should not have because you don't know me.  I know the Spirit of God gives light to discern what that person is writing in or even speaking in.

And the Spirit of God told me to respond.

If I offended any, I am sorry for situations coming to this end.  But I won't apologize for what the Spirit of God gave me to write.

It's like denying the power of God within.  And this I Won't DO...
