The Gifts of the Spirit. The word of Wisdom

In our series, The Gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul expresses his concerns right away when he says, Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. Most people are indeed ignorant about these gifts. Many assumptions, covered in ignorance has led to overall confusion about these amazing gifts. Many confuse the gifts with acts we are encouraged to work by faith. Others simply do not know anything about these gifts at all. Today we look into the gift of the word of wisdom. The word of wisdom is the supernatural revelation by the Spirit of God concerning the divine purpose in the mind and will of God. Lets talk about it. 

The gifts of the Spirit. The word of knowledge pt 2

In our series The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul begins the introduction to these gifts by saying Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. I believe most the body in general are ignorant concerning these gifts. So we set out to discover an understanding about these gifts because they are manifest to profit the body of Christ. We need these today! Last week we began with the gift of the word of knowledge and today I wanted to give you just a few more examples that I found in the bible so that we could gain a better understanding about this supernatural gift and be able to recognize when Holy Spirit is trying to manifest these. 

The gifts of the spirit. The word of knowledge

In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. The 1st thing we see is that Apostle Paul saying Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. I would have to say that most of the brethren today are ignorant of these gifts. Most dont know their true purpose, while others have assumed only certain people can operate in them, some have confused the manifestation of these gifts with things the Bible says we can do by faith, while others are not sure they are for today. Lets clear the air about these gifts and start by looking into the gift of the word of knowledge. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt 17

In part 17 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. We know these laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. Our final law, law #7, Keep the switch of faith turned on! Once we know we have the power, now keep connected and allow that power to always flow through you. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt 16

In part 16 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. We see these laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We have looked at the "cords" or methods that healing power can be released through. This brings us to Law #6, When the healing power of God is administered to you through any of the biblical methods we mentioned in law#5, you may or MAY NOT feel anything at all! We have been trained to be sense driven to the point that we are led to believe that if I did not feel something, then nothing must had taken place. Is that true when it comes to healing? Lets talk about it. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt 15

In part 15 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We understand that in order for you and I to release the power thats inside the electrical outlet, we must plug in a cord, and then that cord has the power that once anything is plugged into the cord, it then can receive the power that was previously in the outlet. So it is with healing the sick. We have all of Gods power available and as part of law #5, we must identify the "cords" that we can use to plug into His power so that it is released into the sick, thus causing them to also have that same power. Today we look at the cord of Laying on of hands. This is the method that Jesus used more often than others. The bible says that when a believer lays their hands upon a sick person, that sick person shall recover. Why? Because we are plugged into the power of God and we are now allowing God to use our hands as a power transfer or cord, that will allow that same power to enter into a sick persons body. lets talk about it. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt 14

In part 14 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We can know we have electrical power available, but it does us no good until we can tap into it and release it for our usage. So it is with healing power. Its one thing to know that God does heal but its a whole other thing to make the connection for you to receive it personally. These methods we have been looking into we are likening to electrical cords that are used to plug into power and be that transport of the power. The cord isnt the power but once plugged in, it carries the same power. Today we look at the cord of The Prayer of Faith. What is the prayer of faith? Is it something we have written down for others to read and repeat? Can we find it in the bible? Lets talk about it. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt 13

In part 13 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking at the Laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. Its one thing to have electrical power available but its a whole other thing to make it usable in your personal life. We have been looking into ways that Gods healing power can be released into your bodies. We have been likening these "methods" to electrical cords that once plugged into the wall outlet containing power, it then can be a carrier of that exact same power inside that wall. Then once something is plugged into the end of the cord, it will release the power through the cord from the wall and into what needed powered. So it is with todays method of Communion. Is there power inside of taking communion that can release the healing power of God into you? Lets talk about it. 

Understanding the healing power of God Pt.12

In part 12 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We have been looking into how do we transfer the power to others. We are likening this to how we transfer electrical power from a power source, like an outlet on the wall, into what we need powered. We know in the natural, we would use a certain type of cord to plug into the outlet and allow the cord to transfer power from the outlet to what we need powered. The cord isnt whats special, but rather its the power. Today we are looking at the "cord" of the Name Of Jesus. Can the name of Jesus be a carrier of power that once spoken, can release healing power into someone? Lets talk about it.
