Good morning one and all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! Jesu Jevu!
Some people say spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues,
prophesying, miracles, dream or visions from God, etc. are all in the
past, the Old Testament. They are said to be no longer valid today.
Now, I do know Jesus came to fulfill the law and gave us grace, for all
have sinned. However, if spiritual gifts are dead, then I would believe
that God is dead. Since I serve a living God, then I believe the
spiritual gifts are real and still here. What do you think?7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
You may have 1 gift or several, and, in my opinion, it depends on the level of maturity you are in the LORD. You may only have 1 gift at a certain time; however, as you grow in the word, grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, and let the Holy Spirit guide you, you may have several gifts. Who is to say? GOD, and GOD ONLY! Do you know what your gift is? Have you sought it out? I do not believe God wants us to be pew sitters, go to Sunday School, listen to the preacher and then go on about our worldly business. I firmly believe he wants us to grow in HIM, know your gifts, and go forth and use them. If God is with you, then you have no excuse; be obedient and follow what and where God wants you to go. Hmmm! Think about this and I'll be back tomorrow. Love you all.
Soli Deo Gloria
Johnny
