Word Of Wisdom and Word of Knowledge
Pastor Syd taught on the gifts of the Spirit, the revelation, the power, and the speaking gifts. He focused on the revelation gifts (word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits) and gave Biblical examples of each, as well as his personal ones. Scriptures: 1 Cor. 12:1-11; John 4:7-18; Mark 11:12-13; Acts 5:1-6; Acts 9:10-19; Acts 10:19-21; Acts 11:27; Acts 16:27; Acts 21:10-11; Acts 27:9-10, 21-26.
Women’s Glory Proceeded By Real Life Story
Missionary Andrew Taylor ministered on the women of faith in the Bible: Sarah, Hagar, Rahab, Hannah, Ruth, Esther, Elizabeth, and Mary. Their message was one of: God can use anyone at any time to do any thing; it’s not over until God say it is; God can turn a nobody into a somebody; you can carry greatness; and let it be according to Your Word. Andrew told the testimony of his own mother’s faith when there was no food in the house, and how they received favor to have free tuition for her children to a superior school in India. She told Bible stories to her nine children, and the one of the crucifixion totally impacted Andrew. She prophesied over Andrew that he would bring his siblings to Jesus Christ.
It’s Included In The Ticket
Apostle Dale expounded on Ephesians 3:1-3, 13-14. We have already been blessed with all spiritual blessings. We need to know what belongs to us, such as salvation and healing. We are saved. We are healed already. We are already dead to self. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit: credibility, authority, and ownership.
Differing Gifts and Ministries
Text: 1 Corinthians 12. Pastor Syd reviewed and expounded on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Are you desiring to move in the gifts? Are you imagining and meditating on the gifts? Pastor Syd delineated the gifts, the ministries, and the operations (activities, workings) of the gifts of the Spirit. He explained about submitting to good government (Romans 13:1-4). There are also the five-fold ministry gifts. All gifts of the Spirit are given as the Holy Spirit wills, and they are for God’s glory (1 Peter 4:10-11). All parts of the body are needed.
Desire The Gifts
Earnestly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are spiritual and are
given as God wills, but they will not happen unless a believer earnestly
desires them. Love is the better way to enter into the gifts. These gifts have
not passed away. Can I imagine myself operating in the gifts of the Spirit?
There were words of encouragement given by members of the congregation.
Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14:1, 39.
Bring Them To Jesus
Pastor Syd led us in Communion. People brought others to Jesus, such as Andrew and Philip (John 1:40), the paralytic’s friends (Mark 2:1-12), the children (Mark 10:13-14), Simon Peter’s mother-in-law (Luke 4:38), others (Luke 4:40-41, Matthew 4:23-24), a mute man (Matthew 9:32), and the woman caught in adultery (John 8:2-11). Other Scriptures: Luke 9:1-2; Matthew 5:13-16; Colossians 1:25. Be bold to present Jesus to others, stepping out in faith to be the hands, feet, salt, and light of Jesus.
Getting God’s Glory Back Into The House
Larry Mills, a missionary shared about an earthquake and God’s protection on his family and all the members of his church. He shared their vision for ministry expansion. He taught on “Getting God’s Glory and Presence Back in His House (Temple).” We are His temple. The main thing is our personal heart of love for Him. We are to influence the world for His glory. Shake the enemy. Be strong. May the harvest be drawn to us. May there be a great increase of miracles, signs, and wonders, and may our ability to hear God increase. Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:5; Heb. 3:6; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Cor. 6:19;; 2 Cor. 6:19; James 4:4; Eze. 47:1-9; Gen. 2:10; John 7:38; Eze. 8:6; 2 Chron. 5:13-14; Rom. 8:19; Is. 60:1-4. Troy Pfoutz gave a word.
God Is Able
Pastor Syd posed various questions about the importance of knowing the Scriptures. God keeps His Word. There are many examples of people who believed and acted on God’s Word. GOD IS ABLE! Believe His Word. Grace will overflow to you. Rom. 10:17; John 15:7; John 1:1-4; John 1:3, 10; Col. 1:15-16; Heb. 1:3, 10; Rom. 16:25; Acts 20:32; Jer. 32:27; Matt. 19:26; Eph.3:20-21; Rom. 14:4; Heb. 2:18; 1 Cor. 10:13; 2 Tim. 1:12; Jude 24-25; Heb. 7:25; 2 Cor. 9:6-11.
Somebodies Going To Make It and Its Going To Be Me
We can live long by having an attitude of victory because of God’s promises. Be positive. Talk positive faith. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Refuse to be negative. Somebody’s going to make it, and it’s going to be me. Somebody’s going to be healed, and it’s going to be me… Live from a spirit of victory and make your greatest miracles your foundation for something better. Scriptures: Matthew 14:23-31; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Philippians 4:13; Hebrews 11:6; Mark 11:21-24.
