Look around and tell me if you see the gifts of the Holy Spirit manifesting. Most of you will say that you don’t see them in operation. But Church history confirms that the gifts of the Holy Spirit have been in operation ever since the early Church began, even though many have proclaimed that they have passed away.

So, I ask you, are the gifts of the Spirit for us today, and if so, why don’t we see them manifesting? To begin, let me say that the gifts of the Spirit as identified in I Corinthians 12 are definitely and absolutely for us today and should be in operation in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, what’s the problem?

Before I discuss the problem, let me give you some scriptures to confirm that the Gifts are for us today.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) ⁸  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Malachi 3:6a (KJV) ⁶  For I am the LORD, I change not; 

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Romans 11:29 (KJV) ²⁹  For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

God doesn’t lie and therefore, His Word can be trusted. He gave the gifts and He hasn’t taken them back. In fact we need them today more than ever!

1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (KJV) ⁸  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹   To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
¹⁰   To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Here we see just what gifts we’re talking about. But, again I ask you, since Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why aren’t seeing the Gifts in manifestation the way God intended us to? If we’re baptized with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, then we should be operating in the Gifts.

God hasn’t changed; people have. It seems that the Gifts are not as important to many people as they should be. Yes, there has been some whacky stuff happen with carnal Christians, but that doesn’t negate the fact that the genuine exists.

John 14:12 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Here we have the bonafide words of Jesus. Again I ask you, are we seeing the Church doing the works of Jesus? Certainly not the way God wants it to happen. Why?

I am always amazed that there are still Christians in the body of Christ who don’t believe the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are for us today even though they’re in operation in many ministries! How in the world can they believe this with a clear conscience? His gifts are certainly and most assuredly for us today and do we ever need them!!!

If we’re going to get the attention of the unsaved world, we need to move in the supernatural. That will certainly get their attention and then we can tell them about Jesus.

Mark 16:20 (KJV) ²⁰  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

If we preach and teach the Word of God, He is faithful to confirm His Word with signs following! Wow, do we need this is our meetings!

1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV) ¹⁰   There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on in the world today, there are a lot of people saying a lot of things – some good and a lot bad. How do you know who is right? How do we guard our hearts from being deceived when something seems to be so right? Good questions.

The short answer is:

1 – ask yourself what the Word of God has to say about it and –

2 – what do you witness in your spirit?

God always provides a way for you to know what is true and what is false but you have to set your heart to hear from Him.

Listen to what Jesus said:

John 10:4-5 (KJV) ⁴  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
⁵  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

John 10:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:27 (KJV) ²⁷  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Jesus said that His sheep know His voice but does that include you or are you still puzzled about actually hearing the voice of the Lord? Too many people are puzzled or don’t even know that it’s possible to hear from the Lord for themselves. This is not God’s plan for us.

So, how do we know that we’re hearing the Lord’s voice – our Good Shepherd – and not a wrong voice of the enemy?

First of all, we have to believe what Jesus said – that we can and do know His voice. If you start out on the wrong premise, you’ll never get to your goal. Never, never, never say that you don’t hear from the Lord or that He doesn’t speak to you! He’s constantly speaking to us but with all the clutter around us, it makes it hard to discern what we’re hearing.

You have to set your heart to know that you can hear the Lord’s voice. Make that determination and stick to it. God hasn’t lied to you. If Jesus said that you can hear His voice, then you can!

Romans 4:17b (KJV) ¹⁷  …  and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Speak forth what you want, not what you have. Just like you have to call for your healing, you have to call for God’s Word to manifest in your life. Time is too short for us to float along and hope that things work out. We have to be on our guard 24/7 because the enemy is looking for whom he may devour. We need to be the “may nots!”

And remember to:

1 –  Check God’s Word against everything you hear plus the witness in your spirit. If it doesn’t agree with the Word of God, reject it.

2 – If you don’t witness to it, reject it or put it on the shelf.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

2 Peter 3:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Revelation 3:11 (KJV) ¹¹  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Ephesians 4:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

It doesn’t take much to notice all the deception that’s being perpetrated against us as a nation. We’re getting it from all sides – especially the fake news media, who only reports what they want, whether or not it’s true! But, as you know, it hasn’t always been that way.

So, what can we do or what should we do to guard our hearts against all the deception around us? Well, you probably know what I’m about to say, if you’ve been reading my blogs for any length of time: what does the Word of God say and what do you witness to in your spirit?

Brothers and sisters, now more than ever, God’s Word has to be the benchmark from which we measure everything in our lives. We are not to ignorantly and naively believe everything everyone says. The only TRUTH is: what does God say!

2 Timothy 3:13 (KJV) ¹³  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

God’s Word tells us that evil people will keep deceiving and getting very skilled at it. Only by the Lord’s discernment will we be able to rightly divide what we hear.

 1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV) ³³  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

We know that if we hang out with the wrong people, we will become like them – thinking, believing, and acting like them. But what about hanging out with the fake news media and believing what they’re saying? What about reading books that contradict God’s Word? And of course, what about your “friends” who believe things contrary to God’s Word? Don’t think that these things won’t influence you; they will but not for good.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) ²³  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Proverbs 4:23 (AMP) ²³  Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

God strongly commands us to guard our hearts – what we put in by hearing, seeing, and thinking. What we put into or allow to get into our hearts is what will come out. And this, my dear friends, is what’s important in times of crises. You don’t want the world’s evil thoughts to come forth when you’re believing for a breakthrough from God.

This is so serious! We need to be on guard 24/7, guarding what we let through to our hearts. Perhaps we need to change the channel more often! If the news upsets you, turn it off! You’ll get the main points along the line.

I know people, Christians, who are terribly affected by the news. This can even lead to physical ailments. We need to be very cautious!

I’ll leave you with this: check out everything you hear and see against the Word of God and listen to your spirit. If it doesn’t line up, reject it or put it on the shelf. If we sincerely want to know the truth, God will show us. You can count on it!

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) ⁷  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Matthew 24:11 (KJV) ¹¹  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Who would buy an appliance and then not read the instructions to see how it works? Who would buy a car or garden equipment and not read the manual? Of course, some wouldn’t read the manual but most people would. Why? Because they want to operate their new purchase correctly so they can enjoy it.

It’s so disheartening to buy something and then get it home to find out it wasn’t what you expected or didn’t even work at all!

So, I ask you, why would any intelligent human being expect to live successfully on planet earth without reading the Manufacturer’s Handbook – the Bible, God’s Holy Word? But, sad to say, millions are doing just that – living life totally ignorant of God’s instructions, plans, and purposes for them.

Brothers and sisters, more than ever, we need to immerse ourselves in God’s Word to strengthen and enable us to be the overcoming Church that we’re called to be. A crisis exposes where our faith is and without God’s Word in our hearts, we can’t have God’s power working in us.

In John 15:5 Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. But the good news is that if we’re born-again, we’re not without Him! Yes, Jesus will never leave or forsake us but that doesn’t guarantee victory in our daily living.

God’s Word has to be the benchmark from which we measure everything in life. I know I say this a lot but it’s so important. If we want to live victorious lives we need to do it God’s way – from a Biblical perspective. For sure, it makes life a whole lot easier!

Remember Gen, 1:26 when God gave the “dominion mandate” to Adam and Eve? That’s for us too but the only way we’re going to accomplish it is to know and stand on God’s Word.

Rise up Church and take your place!

John 15:5 (KJV) ⁵  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Hebrews 13:5b (KJV) ⁵  …  I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV) ²⁶  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

Isaiah 60:1-3 (KJV) ¹  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. ²  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.³  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Matthew 5:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

2 Timothy 3:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

Jesus is coming back for a glorious Church, a not a wimpy one.

Ephesians 5:27 (KJV) ²⁷  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Luke 18:8b (KJV) ⁸  …  Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

These are two revealing scriptures. First, that Jesus calls us the Glorious Church because He knows the end from the beginning [Isaiah 46:10]. We might not look like the Glorious Church now but we will by the time He returns.

Secondly, notice about the spots and wrinkles. Among other things, this has to do with wavering. Are we wavering in our stand or are we firmly planted on God’s Word! Do we fold up like a $2 suitcase when a crisis comes or do we continue to stand on God’s Word and trust His faithfulness?

If we fall apart in times of crises, who will be there to lead the people? God is raising up His army to forge ahead and take this world for Jesus. I know that not all will be saved but we have our part in doing the Lord’s will so everyone has a chance and that no one has an excuse!

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) ⁹  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

We are the Church of Philadelphia and God is counting on us to be all that He has purposed for us to be! We’re to be strong in the Lord, not in ourselves. That’s how we overcome the world – by the blood of the Lamb and faith in His Word!

We’re overcomers and we need to act like it!

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

1 John 5:4 (KJV) ⁴  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Revelation 12:11a (KJV) ¹¹  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; 

Isaiah 46:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Amos 3:7 (KJV) ⁷  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Revelation-3:7-13(KJV)
