Just a closer walk with thee.......

I was reading through John 14 the other day and recieved some of the most powerful revelation I have ever recieved in the short time that I have been a Christian. And it almost leveled me to realise what I have been missing out on with my Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.

You see I have been in the wrong frame of mind and in fact distancing myself from God and the Lord Jesus seeking a relationship with Him. Looking for what I had to do and how I was to obtain a greater intimacy. If I only could work it out I would do just that. I have been going from place to place, looking for the answer. This book and that book, from one Christian site to another, seeking the revelation of how to get closer to God.

I put it this way in our fellowship meeting yesterday in Church, "I have been chasing the chicken around the yard trying to catch it when the whole time the Lord has had it ready to come out of the oven for me since the day He came into my heart".

You see we have a relationship with our Lord the day we say yes to Him...there is no more we have to do except for Love Him as He Loves us. There isn't a special way He likes to be introduced in prayer as long as it is heart felt. There is no ceramony that has to be preformed to bring His presence, just Love Him.

You see I have been making all the right moves to keep myself busy looking for Him but in truth He was there looking at me wondering when I was going to slow down enough to see Him right before my own eyes. God wants us to know He is there with us at all times...when we are in the deepest of our despire or the highest of our joy. Right beside us and ready to recieve us with open arms. I now know I have a relationship with the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. I always have, you know when the lights go on it is such a beautiful place to be, especially when you can see the Lord before you and leave everything else behind you. Praise God!!

I would like to post a specific scipture for you to read from John 14 but the whole chapter is that powerful I will ask you to take some quite time and spend it with God and His Holy word. The promise of a greater life is there for the taking. Spend to time to take it.

Peace and Blessings.

Strengthen Your Resolve.....

Hello again and welcome in the Mighty Name of my Lord Jesus Christ. I am putting up some personal thoughts here so please don't expect anything to profound or theological.
I just wanted to write about the Strength within ourselves as apposed to the Strength we have in Jesus and through the Holy Spirit.

You see we as a society often would like to think that it is quite possible to strenghten ourselves against the pressures and the troubles of the world. And that temptation can be defeated with all kinds of mind tricks and such. And maybe they can for a while. But it is clear by the amount of devorce case filed because of financial strain or infedality, or worse abuse, that temptation is to great to fight on our own and so is the troubles of this present day.

Now as far as temptation goes I can speak on a personal basis, I was addicted to pornography for a very long time and remained so in the early days of my walk with Christ. I was an alcoholic and a drug abuser and often careless with my finances. But when I found Jesus I finally had the tools I needed to defeat those demons that tried so hard to destroy me. He(Jesus)invited me into a world that was loving, warm and I didn't wan't to escape from every chance I could.
You see even though alot of people are only recreational user of drugs or only drink on special occassion, or on days ending in y, the truth of the matter people are looking to escape from their troubles and worries of every day life. But Jesus tells us we don't have to run away or hide in things that alter our perception or thoughts. We have in Him the very refudge place that those things can't offer.1 Peter 5:7
We are told by the Prophets of old that their was only one place that they looked for their strength and that was in God. Exodus 15:2, 2 Samuel 22:33, Nehemiah 8:10, Job 9:19, Psalm 18:32, Psalm 21:1, Psalm 28:7 And the list goes on and on and on. So why would we want to fight the temptations and troubles of the world alone when we have such a willing and Loving God that has given us His Son so we may know Him more. Strengthen Your Resolve In The Lord Today. He is waiting for you.

Peace and Blessings in Jesus's Name friends.

Souls saved in the New Year...Praise God!!!

Happy New Year, and God Bless you.

I just have to say what a stella year all of Gods people are in for this come twelve months of 2010. I truely believe that and claim it for us all in Jesus's Holy Name.

Last night our congregation and the many visitors from both north and south of Townsville, saw the New Year in with a bang as the clock crossed over into 2010 two souls crossed over to the side of the Lord Jesus. We were at our Cross Over 2009/2010 Gospel Rally last night and praying for souls to come to Jesus last night and a miraclous thing happen. On the stroke of 12 midnight some of the Pastors present were laying hands on and Praying for these two beautiful children of God. Both lifted up their voice and declared Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, Hallelujah!!!!

There is still three nights remaining of the Rally and I believe lots more souls to be saved in those nights. The theme Cross Over 2009/2010 Gospel Rally is based around the children of Isreal crossing over the Jordan and walking into the promised land. The Holy Land of Milk and Honey. This is really a wonderful time we are in, God is increasing the signs and wonders that are spoken of by the Lord Jesus and also the accurances of the prophets Daniel and Isaiah, as well as the Prophet Eziekel.

The transfer of wealth is in the process and we as Gods people have to align ourselves for the out pouring of Gods blessing, I truly believe that, to the Glory of God. But also with this coming time comes other pressing issues, are we infact ready for the Lords coming as He will be looking for a Bride dressed in white. Have we all our Brides dresses ready, I know that there is some Ironing out I have to do. I want it to be with out wrinkle or blemish and my oil lamp trimmed when He comes for his Church. How about you, if you identify anything I earge you deal with it and get ready, get ready, get ready. I Pray that we are all found in His Glory on that day.

Peace and Blessings in the wonderful Name above all Names, Christ Jesus the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

How to Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part VI

How to Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part VI

Along in our Christian walk we all should have been exposed to some teachings on the Gifts and the Fruit of the Spirit I hope. Well these final posts are going to be very basic information so that we may all have something to work with and some direction.

There are lots of teachings that you can get from most all good Christian book stores or you may prefer the teachings of a specific Pastor or preacher. I am not going to push any particular doctrine or teachings, our purpose here is to release and move in the Giftings. So only some very basic information on the Gifts.

Word Of Wisdom - How to deal with problems.

The Holy Spirit can impart on us the word and thoughts that are need to resolve a dispute or may be something troubling someone we know or love. e.g.:
King Solomon and the disputing mothers and the baby. King Solomon was given the wisdom to defuse the situation and return the baby to its rightful mother.

Jesus faced with the adultery of Mary Magdalene, used the wisdom of the Spirit of God to see the answer for the Pharisee and quite the crowd.

We can have the same wisdom if we are in fact in tune with the Holy Spirit.

Word Of Knowledge - Knowledge about certain situations.

We can be able to have the gift to receive from God revelation of facts and information which is humanly impossible to know. eg:
Samuel knowing the where abouts of Sauls fathers donkey. Ananias given the information to go and meet Paul on the road to Demascus. Revelation given by God through the Holy Spirit.

Information about a persons problem.
As we move out in the giftings, God will reveal some things he wants to move in your life. WE can hinder the flow if we don't respond to the word that is given out.
Two ways it will affect us:
It may mess up the way God wants to fix the problem.
It may mess up a persons faith who gives the word out. So we always need to respond when the calling is upon us and apply Gods word or Gifting.
Some other problems that people face with the Word of Knowledge/Wisdom:
"I stepped out with a word and it didn't work, why?". Well perhaps you were off the mark ask of the Lord again and try again! "The person whom the word was for didn't respond" or "the wrong person responded" In the latter that person may still be in need of the that word but perhaps there is shame or even pride involved. But the word is not void and has found someone in need of it. Perhaps more information is needed, once again inquire in prayer and try again!

Prophecy - Speak a message to individuals / group from God.

1 Corinthians 14:3 (King James Version)

3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Prophecy is for the building up of Gods people, for brings good tidings the cheering up of individuals even whole groups. For the stirring up of Gods people, to help fan the flames of the heart.
Then there is the ministry of Prophecy of course, which is direct and for the correction of individuals or groups.
1 Corinthians 14:29
29Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
1 Corinthians 14:32
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1 Corinthians 14:33
33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians 14:1 (New King James Version)
1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy

Divers of Tongues - Speaking messages from God in different languages.

This gift is for two reasons.
- One is to edify you
- One subject to interpretation edifying a wider group.

Interpretation Of Tongues - Interpreting with God’s help a message in a different language received from God into a language that is understood by an individual or group.

- 1 Corinthians 14:13 (New King James Version)

13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

- 1 Corinthians 14:15 (New King James Version)

15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

Discerning Of Spirit - Ability to see and recognize spirits in various activities.

There are various teachings about discerning of
- Human spirit
- Evil spirit
- Seeing into the spirit realm

There is no need to get into theological argument here. We should just recognise that our roles are to set people free to operate in the gifts. This can be said, the person being ministered to is more interested in being set free regardless of the name of the hindering spirit in operation!

Gift OF Faith - Ability to rise up above what we believe for and to achieve the impossible.

- We are all given a Measure of Faith.
- All things are possible to him who believes.
Now when God wants us to do some things we can't have doubt in our hearts. So what does God do for us he gives us the Gift of Faith. It makes the difference between a little faith and the Faith that is given to do what is required by God.

Gift Of Healing - Enables healing to flow into individuals or groups for their specific needs.

- Not everyone can heal everyone of everything
- Different gifts come into focus in different areas of healing.
- Different ministries will show different strengths in a particular area.

Gift of working Miracles - Self explanatory; operating in the miraculous

- Important to listen to God.
- When you hear God Obey!

GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (New King James Version)

8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same[a] Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

*Discerning of Spirit

POWER(Doing)-
*Gift of Faith
*Gifts of Healing
*Gifts of Working of Miracles

INSPIRATION(Vocal/speaking)-
*Gifts of Prophecy

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Galatians 5:22-23 (New King James Version)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

A Harvest For God -
*Goodness (God Like)
*Mercy (Meekness)
*Faithfulness

A Harvest for others -
*Love
*Patience (Long Suffering)
*Kindness (Gentleness)

A Harvest for Ourselves -
*Joy

*Self Control (Temperance)

I hope you have been as blessed by these posts as I have been writing them. These are all very real and have a place in every Christians work. Please commit to practicing these Gifts and you will see great things of God happen in yours and others lives.
Peace and Blessings until next time.

How To Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part V

How To Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part V

The Greatest problem we have moving in the gifts is fear - Too scared to step out in faith. I ask that the Holy Spirit show us the way to receive the fullness of the Gifts of the Spirit in Jesus’ Holy name. Amen.

Why Scared?
We can often fell inadequate, unworthy of performing acts of healing or prophecy. As I wrote earlier, we can be our own greatest hindrance. Self condemnation is satans greatest tool against the Church as a whole. If the body feels in adequate it is often sick from within.

But when we listen to what the Lord has told us and we close off to what the enemy has, fear goes and you can hear from God more easily.
- You’re not listening to yourself.
- You're not listening to the devil.

When we listen to the Lord, he will point out to us what has to be said or who needs healing or who needs prayer. He will never say it is for us, if we need something he will send someone for us.
Our hearts have to be right before Him. If your heart is right fear cannot prevail; you will hear clearly from God and the ministry will flow.

You can see how the devil has messed us up thinking it is our ministry instead of focusing on the heart of the very thing and that is releasing people from their burdens.
1 Corinthians 12:7 (New King James Version)
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

Fear can come through our lack of understanding!

1 Corinthians 12:31 (New King James Version)
31 But earnestly desire the best[a] gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.


- What is it that we desire? Are we seeking whole heartedly the greater things in God or just the mediocre lesser things? If we desire money riches and fame and forget that our ministry is healing prophecy and apostleship we may well find ourselves cold and empty with no gifts to share or show.

1 Corinthians 13:1-4 (New King James Version)
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

All that we do must be done in Love. God is Love and Love made perfect. The Apostle Paul is very specific that we could be the great preacher the most power healer, Move Mountains with faith. But if we lack Love in what we do then they are empty works.

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (New King James Version)
6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We must fan the spirit within. Knowing what is the full intent of the Holy Spirit within. With Power, Love and a Sound mind these more excellent ways shall draw out the gift and cast out fear.

So we can see that fear is not a part of our Walk with God. His love will conquer all and is what we need to be able to do His work completely. Next we will go into depths of what are the Gifts of the Spirit.

How To Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part IV

How To Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part IV

We should by now have an understanding of our worth to God. Having learnt that we are "Fearfully and wonderfully made" in the image of the living God, we have been given by him a gift and a purpose. To Glorify His holy name and know Him to make Him known through our very witness. His Holy Spirit dwells within and he will never leave us or forsake us.

Our point of view of ourselves is the driving force behind whether or not we can stand against the guiles of the enemy. Why? Because that is what he will use against us to make us fail our walk with the Lord. So lets continue to look into the great and fantastic gift that we have been given as a completion of Christ work in us.

"I don't fell the anointing"

1 John 2:27 (New King James Version)
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will[a] abide in Him.

People often are mistaken to think that they will walk around on fire and soaked in the anointing all the time. And some may very well do so, but most often not. We see here that we have received the anointing and it abides within, so therefore we must constantly nurture it's tree to see the fruits of it in our life.

1 Samuel 16:14 (New King James Version)

A Distressing Spirit Troubles Saul

14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the LORD troubled him.

Saul was anointed by the Lord to rule the people of Israel as a servant of God. Saul however abused his privilege and prayed the ultimate price for disobedience. He did not constantly nurture his gift but rather abused it.

Hebrews 13:5 (New King James Version)
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”[a]

Be content in the gift that you have been given. If you are unable to speak in tongues right away, pray harder and seek instruction from scripture. This goes for all the gifts of the Spirit, prayer is the key as is the word of God.

Acts 2:4

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:41

41 Then those who gladly[a] received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

Acts 3:8 (New King James Version)
8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.

Acts 4:29 (New King James Version)
29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,

Acts 4:31 (New King James Version)
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Do not be disheartened and say but such in such can and she always does, but be humble before the Lord and pray for more of Him. Picture the Holy Spirit as a huge Battery Pack with in you. The more you charge that battery by using it correctly, if you however leave it and use it rarely it losses it's charge. Prayer is your charger, go about practicing your gifts with faith. And also once you have gone about using your gift, pray and recharge the battery. Power used in good works...battery needs recharging!!! BE FILLED CONTINUALLY!!!

Q: How do we remain constantly filled?
A: Prayer, Prayer, Prayer.....
1 Corinthians 14:4 (New King James Version)
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

Jude 1:20 (New King James Version)

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

Ephesians 5:18 (New King James Version)
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

You see when Jesus said "I will send another" He told us that we would have a councilor and a comforter that would take all our cares to God through Christ Jesus. You see the Holy Spirit knows our inner most needs and desires and can speak to the Lord in the language of Heaven. We are also told to "Worship in Spirit and in Truth". Why? So our needs can be heard on the level that it is perceived in Heaven...in the Spirit. Practice prayer in the tongues for the edification of the body and also for the building up of the Church through interpretations of tongues. Build one another as true servants of the Lord; fellowship is so important to the Body of Christ’s Spiritual growth. You will be amazed at what making these things habits in your life will do!!!!

The Attitude of the Heart.

John 14:12 (New King James Version)

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

Matthew 11:11 (New King James Version)
11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

We need to reconcile to what the word of God is saying here. Our purpose must be to align ourselves with the word of God and his purpose for our lives. We must be open to Him and available to do His work for the better of others and the Glory of Gods name. Our purpose of use of the gifts must be to set others free, whether from sickness, bondage, loneliness, it doesn't matter. We must ask the Lord, who is it that needs this message, healing, prophecy etc.

Luke 4:18

18 “ The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,[a]
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”[a]

The Holy Spirit is not for there to give you ministry; the Holy Spirit is there so that through you people can be released. Once your heart is there, what does God do, He exalts you.
You are here simply as a vessel of the Lord,. You get ready because once you perceive this in your Spirit, once you get this good and sure, the Holy Spirit will want to minister through you. So Pray This “Lord Take My Hands, My Mouth, My Feet Use Me As A Person That Can Minister To People Here”. Amen...Praise God.
Be prepared because God will get you ready to Work and walk in the Gifts and the Fruits of the Spirit...Practice, Practice, and Practice.

In conclusion here we will next go into more about hindrances and how to avoid and get them out of your mindset altogether. Peace and blessings.

How to Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part III

How to Walk and Work in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part III

We finished up in part II coming into the understanding of our worth to the Almighty. How he views us and how we should view ourselves.

Let us discuss then how we are to come about this view and what it is as Christians and servants of the Living God we can do. All things from the Holy Spirit will always align with scripture and will be made clear by the Holy Spirit, so I ask that the Holy Spirit clear the way for our continuing journey into this magnificent way of life we seek. Amen.

How do we co-operate with the Holy Spirit?

(Rom 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

(Jos 1:9) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

We must not conform to the views that the world tries to push on the church today. We as individuals must test everything with the mindset of God, I am not saying that we can understand or fully comprehend what Gods mind is and what his perfect thought is. But we certainly have the perfect Guide in the Spirit inspired word of God that is given to us as a road map. Also the world would have us all live in fear. How many times a day do we hear the doom and gloom of the anxieties of this present time and place? We as Gods people must hold strong to the fact that when Jesus set us free from captivity, it was eternal and that means right now as much as our future in the Kingdom of God, when Jesus returns.
So therefore we have to remember constantly that "If our God is for us who can be against us". Praise His Holy Name...Glory.

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

What are some of the Hindrances that can distract us from our Walk and our Work?

We often get caught up in ourselves and can't find time for this that and the other and unfortunately it is often our walk with God that is put on the back burner, just for a little while. Then before we know it has been a couple of days since we last spent time with Him. The enemy uses this to bring condemnation against us, and then our mind runs off in all sorts of terrible thoughts of what God thinks of us. We can often be the best weapon to derail our own walk with self condemnation. But always remember that we have an advocate that takes our repentance straight to the Father.
Condemnation may come from many different channels as well, but mostly people are oppressed by their own sense of inability to live up to what God requires of them. On the surface, they believe that "God is no respecter of persons" but deep down they are saying "it's alright for God to use the apostles and others but not me.

We see here that the Prophet Isaiah had the very thing that we take for granted in our walk for us to gain intimacy with our Lord and Saviour. Spending time in prayer and in the word of God, but also taking our time to hear from the Holy Spirit. It is so important to obtaining the fullness of the gifts and fruits of the Spirit. We are promised strength beyond that what we can comprehend.

Lets deal with the question of condemnation this way.

(1Co 12:8) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

(1Co 12:9) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

(1Co 12:10) 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:

(1Co 12:11) But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

(1Co 12:12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

We are all important to the service of the Spirit of God. We all have our place in the Ministering of the Holy Spirit. We must seek what the Holy Spirit has for us, what part of the body of Christ we take responsibility to operate in. When we practise the fruits of the Spirit we show Jesus in our lives, but also show ourselves our part of the Body of Christ.

Always remember to seek forgiveness for your sin, and most important that once you have repented you receive the Grace of God which is given freely. That is the purpose that Jesus gave his life as a perfect sacrifice, so we could receive perfect forgiveness fully paid for at Calvary. Let the Holy Spirit minister that forgiveness within. Seek to be doing God’s will and practising the fruits of the Spirit are the ideal way to do so.

Let's look at the Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit:

Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

There are two processes at work here.

1) He gives and we receive and He works through us to minister to others(the Gifting of the Spirit)
2) The other, He works in you, a much slower process where we're working out our salvation and we're getting more like Him by His righteousness and so on ( the Fruits of the Spirit ).
Please don't get them mixed up. One is for service of others (the Gifts) the other is like a rehaul of the spiritual engine, taking time, a becoming Christ like experience ( the Fruits of the Spirit ).

Once these Gifts and Fruits are given they are never withdrawn from us, (consider Romans 11:29) but they do need constant regulation. Condemnation will stop you from stepping out in the gifts of the Spirit. Constant communication with God and time spent in his presence, will recharge the "Level of Anointing", so to go about the Work of the Holy Spirit for Gods Glory.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Here we see that you do not have to be perfect to use the Gifts of the Spirit. These thought that prophecy and works of healing were enough to get them into Heaven. If lawless men can use them, how much more easily for you and I that desire to do the will of God?
By no means is this encouragement to go about sinning because the Gifts can still be used, but to say that the Gifts are exactly that, gifts given and never taken back.(Romans 11:29)
Don't be too hard on yourself. Self Condemnation is a tool of the devil to stop you ministering in the Gifts. Remember, God forgives and forgets.
Whenever you step out in ministry, examine yourself and seek forgiveness. Then when condemnation comes tell the devil the Word: I'm forgiven and cleansed. Get out of my way.

That concludes Part III, we will pick up next talking about "Feeling the Anointing". What it means and what we can do to connect with it.
