1 Corinthians 12 verse 7

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

 

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are as He will’s not as we will – however He will’s more than we will.

 

The Gift of Faith is a supernatural Gift from God of His Faith given to you at a specific time at a specific place for a specific purpose. 

 

It is the ability from God the divine grace to receive a miracle

Miracles of Salvation, deliverance, healing, protection, provision etc involving all of our needs down here on the earth.

 

We see passages of scripture that these are showcased in.

 

1. The Red Sea parted making a way for them to pass and burying their enemies.

2. Water provided from the Rock, Manna and Quail from Heaven.

3. The Pillar of Cloud by Day and the Pillar of Fire by night.

4. God brought the Children of Israel forth with Silver and Gold and there was not one sick or feeble one among their tribes.

5. The Son and the Moon stood still.

6. The Axe Head Swam 

7. The ravens fed the prophet.

8. The Oil and the meal did not Fail.

9. The Rain that came to break the drought.

10. Water into wine.

11. Feeding the Five thousand with 5 loaves and 2 fishes.

12. Tax money from the Fish’s mouth 

 

The List goes on and on I have only sighted a few examples from the Scripture.

 

The Gift of Faith will propel you supernaturally – the Lord will sustain you in  the most adverse circumstances – He will make away where there is no way and He will furnish a table in the wilderness and make the crooked path’s straight.

 

If the Gift of Faith is as He will’s and not as we will then how do we access the gift – we can use our Faith to receive the gift of Faith

Just lift your hands right now and pray this prayer and Say

Father in Jesus name I thank you for the gifts of the Spirit and especially the gift of Faith - we receive by Faith this gift right now to help me in my situation and I receive by Faith

 

Divine Grace so as to move mountains. I receive this in the wonderful name of Jesus and by the power of the Blood of Jesus.

 

Thank you in Jesus Name

Amen.

 

PS Love and blessings to you as you read this I am in Tulsa Oklahoma and it is Friday 17th April pm 6.30 and I am preaching on the gift of Faith tonight and felt to post my notes on this blog – looking forward to the Sunday am and pm at the River

 

Love and Blessings

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.  Colossians 3:5-25 NIV

1. In the Family, we have been raised to a new life through Jesus Christ—He was raised to new life therefore we have been raised up with Him.

 

We are to seek the rich eternal treasures that are above—in the Heavenlies.

 

Set your mind on the higher things.

 

You died with Him, you were buried with Him and you have been raised to new life with Him.

 

Putting off the old—verses 5-9  

Putting on the new—verses 10-12

2. Your conduct in the Family of God.

Forgiving one another—verse 13

Put on love—verse 14

Let peace rule—verse 15

Be thankful—verse 15

 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord—verse 16

Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him—verse 17

3. Christian family conduct.

Verses 18-25

Husbands; wives; children; parents; fathers; servants.

The Word of God must be the foundation for our lives.

4. Foundational things you must do in order to live your life prosperously and effectively in the Family of God.

Decide to obey God’s Word and take it as the written, spoken, God-breathed pattern for your life in the Family.

Don’t be conformed to the world—its ways and ideologies.

Don’t be persuaded by outside influences—be controlled by the Holy Spirit.

 

The Holy Spirit is the One who has been sent to help you live your life in the Family.

 

He will constrain and restrain you and also release, empower and enable you to live by the grace of God to handle any situation that might come your way.  

NB You are part of the Family of God in Heaven and Earth!
