  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    … to another divers kinds of tongues? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The word “divers” in First Corinthians 12:10 is italicized, which means that it was added by the translator. Actually, this verse reads, “… to another, kinds of tongues. . . .” However, in another scripture, Paul said that God set in the Church diversities of tongues (1 Cor. 12:28); therefore, we would not be out of line scripturally to say “divers” kinds of tongues, or different kinds of tongues. This utterance gift of tongues is an important gift in that tongues is the door into the supernatural. This doesn’t necessarily mean the gift of tongues is the best gift, for as we indicated previously, the best gift is the gift needed at the moment. The Gift of Tongues Is a Supernatural Sign. Divers kinds of tongues is supernatural utterance by the Holy Spirit in languages never learned by the speaker, nor understood by the speaker, nor necessarily always understood by the hearer. Speaking with tongues has nothing whatsoever to do with linguistic ability; it has nothing to do with the mind or the intellect of man. It is a vocal miracle of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, one reason we speak in tongues is that Yahushua said this is one sign which should follow believers. Also, tongues is the scriptural, initial evidence also of the baptism in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4). It is important to understand that the gift of tongues is unique to the dispensation of the Church Age.

    Every spirit-filled believer speaks in tongues. In addition to praying in tongues in one’s individual prayer life, it is also true that there is a public side to speaking in tongues. Paul said that not everyone would be used in what we call the public ministry of tongues, for he said in First Corinthians 12:30, “… do all speak with tongues? …” The obvious answer is no because in this verse Paul is talking about the public ministry of diversities of tongues which is a ministry gift denoting more the prophetic office, not the devotional gift of tongues. Some take First Corinthians 12:30 out of its context and conclude that Paul was saying, “Speaking in tongues isn’t for everyone. Therefore, you can be filled with the Spirit without speaking with tongues.” However, again, we must remember that here Paul is talking about the ministry gift of tongues, for he began by saying, “AND GOD HATH SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES” (1 Cor. 12:28). Ministry gifts or offices are “set” in the Church by God; they are people called to the fivefold ministry. Then he asked the question in First Corinthians 12:29 and 30, “Are all apostles? . . . No, all are not apostles: Let’s look a little further in verse 30: “. . . do all speak with tongues? . . .” The obvious answer is no. Paul was talking here about fivefold ministry gifts, just as he was talking about fivefold ministry gifts when he asked, “Are all apostles? . . .” (v. 29), and so forth.

    REMEMBER: The gift of diverse kinds of tonguing is a supernatural utterance in tongues not learned by the speaker.

    CONFESSION: My prayer is enriched by the gift of tongues. It deepens my relationship with the Spirit and opens the door of the supernatural for me. Thank You Lord for this gift in my life. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse whatever is retarding your intimacy with the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday April 27, 2021

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    … to another prophecy? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue. The Hebrew meaning of the phrase, “to prophesy” is to flow forth. It also carries with it the thought: to bubble forth like a fountain, to let drop, to lift up, to tumble forth, and to spring forth. The Greek word that is translated “prophesy” means to speak for another. So “prophesy” can mean to speak for Yahweh or to be His spokesman. In First Corinthians 14:1 we read: “Follow after charity [love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY.” We are told to desire spiritual gifts, but especially that we might prophesy. That doesn’t mean we are not to desire the other gifts, but we are to especially desire to prophesy. Again, at the end of First Corinthians chapter 14, Paul repeated, “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy …” (1 Cor. 14:39). Paul was writing by the inspiration of Yahweh. We could say it this way: Yahweh through Paul spoke to the Church at Corinth (and it applies to the Church everywhere) to desire spiritual gifts, but rather that we may prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1,39).

    There is Foretelling and there is Forth Telling. The simple gift of prophecy should not be confused with the prophetic office or with prophetic utterance that may come forth in the prophet’s ministry. Paul said, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” (1 Cor. 14:3). Thus, we can readily see that in the simple gift of prophecy there is no revelation. The simple gift of prophecy is given for edification, exhortation, and comfort. In the office of the prophet, however we very often find that revelation or foretelling does come forth, even through the vehicle of prophecy. It is also interesting to note the difference between prophecy in the Old Testament and prophecy in the New Testament. In the Old Testament prophecy was essentially foretelling, but in the New Testament we see that the gift of prophecy shifts strongly to forth telling. Prophesying Is More Than Preaching. Some people think that “to prophesy” means to preach. All inspired utterance is prophecy in some form or another, but the spiritual gift of prophecy isn’t preaching. Sometimes there is an element of prophecy in preaching when a person is anointed by the Spirit and is inspired to say things spontaneously that come from his spirit rather than his head. But that is only one phase of the operation of the gift of prophecy.

    The utterance gifts are liable to abuse and misuse more than the other gifts of the Spirit. That is why there is need to sound a note of caution. You must not prophesy. If you have to prophesy make sure that it is not from self. I Corinthians 14:32 says, ‘And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.’ The manifestation of the gift of prophecy is as the Spirit wills, not as you will. Don’t open up to unclean spirits just because you want to prophesy. Caution!

    REMEMBER: The gift of prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are delivered today from a deception in the name of prophecy in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday April 26, 2021

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    To another the working of miracles? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The Working of Miracles can be defined as the supernatural intervention of Yahweh in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle is a supernatural act on a natural plane. When the working of miracles is in manifestation, there is a divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature. For example, the dividing of a stream by the sweep of a mantle is an example of the working of miracles in operation (see 2 Kings 2:14). After Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot in the whirlwind, Elisha received his mantle and smote the Jordan River. Dividing the waters by a sweep of his mantle was the working of miracles because that was a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. In the area of healing, many times miracles are received, but this is not necessarily the working of miracles; they are simply called healing miracles. Everything that Yahweh does is miraculous in a sense, but receiving healing by supernatural means is not a miracle in the same sense that turning common dust into insects just by a gesture is a miracle (see Exodus. 8:16), or turning common water into wine just by speaking a word is a miracle (see John 2:7-11). Those two occurrences are examples of the working of miracles.

    Water turned into wine by the ageing process, or the process of nature, is a natural phenomenon. But water turned into wine just by speaking a word, as Jesus did (John 2:1-11), is a miracle according to our definition — a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle, therefore, is a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order, or an interruption in the system of nature as we know it, operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is used to display God’s power and magnificence. In Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible, the Greek word for “miracles” in First Corinthians 12:10 is “dunamis,” and can also be translated acts of powers. In other words, the working of miracles could also be called the working of acts of powers. According to the Greek concordance, the Greek word also means, explosions of almightiness or impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments. In other words, the Greek could read, “To another the working of impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments, or the outworkings of explosions of almightiness and acts of powers.”

    The Working of Miracles is the mighty power of Yahweh flowing through a person. Oh how I desire that everyone of us will position in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and have this power flow through us. How much our world is in need of the manifestation of this power. Romans 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” They are waiting for the manifestation of the power of Yahweh. Can we yearn for the manifestation of this power?

    REMEMBER: The working of miracles is the manifestation of the almightiness of Yahweh intervening in the ordinary course of nature.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release that power over your life today. Receive divine intervention in that situation now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday April 25, 2021

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    … to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit?
    I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

    The gifts of healing are manifested for the supernatural healing of sickness and disease without any natural source or means. As I’ve mentioned, every one of these nine gifts of the Spirit are supernatural. The gifts of healing have nothing to do with medical science or human learning. Doctors and medical science are natural means of healing. The gifts of healing and the other methods of divine healing are supernatural. The healing that is supernatural doesn’t come by diagnosis or by prescribing treatment. Divine healing comes by laying on of hands, anointing with oil, or sometimes just by speaking the Word, just to name a few examples from the Word of how healing is ministered. I believe in natural healing and I thank Yahweh for it. I think one of the greatest areas in medical science, and one in which the greatest strides have been made, is in the field of preventive medicine. But not only do I believe in natural healing, I also believe in supernatural, or divine healing.

    You can receive healing by standing on the Word of Yahweh. There is a difference between receiving healing through the manifestation of the gifts of healing and just simply receiving healing by our own faith in the Word. Both are scriptural ways to receive healing. One can stand on the Word of Yahweh and be healed on their own. However, gifts of healing are manifested through another person to you. The difference is the channel through which they are manifested. The gifts of healing is a ministry gift to the body of HaMashiach. Not all have this ministry. I Corinthians 12:28-30 says, ‘28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?’ The obvious answer to that question is no. All are not apostles. All do not have gifts of healing. These spiritual gifts are given as the Spirit wills. It is not an achievement but an engracement. Intimate walk with the Holy Spirit places you at a better position to have these gifts manifested through you.

    When in need of healing, you can just believe the Word of Yahweh and act on the Word and you will be healed because it is the anointing that breaks the yoke (see Isaiah 10:27) and the anointing is on the Word. This is also the reason why every believer must belong to a local Church. In the local Church, there must be somebody that the Holy Spirit uses to minister that gifts of healing, so you can have the person lay hands on you when challenged with sickness and be healed. But you know you cannot be sick dwelling in Zion (see Isaiah 33:24; Hebrews 12:22). Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gifts of healing are supernatural method the Spirit brings healing to His people.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I stand on the Word and I command that spirit of infirmity ravaging your body to expire now by fire in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! BE HEALED!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (4): FAITH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday April 24, 2021

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (4): FAITH

    To another faith by the same Spirit? …
    I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

    Beginning from today, we shall discuss another three gifts we have categorized as the power gifts. The power gifts comprise of the gift of faith, the gift of healing and the working of miracles. They are categorized as power gifts because they do something. Let us discuss the gift of faith. The Amplified Bible reads, “To another (wonder-working), faith . . .” (1 Cor. 12:9). This gift of the Spirit is also called special faith. The Gift of Special Faith Is Not the Same as Saving Faith. Every believer already has general faith or saving faith, which is also a gift. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” The faith that you are saved by is a gift of God, but it is not one of the nine gifts of the Spirit. Saving faith is given to you through hearing the Word, because the Bible says, “So then faith [saving faith] cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). The faith which we are talking about today — special faith — is something other than general faith or saving faith. It is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit whereby a believer is empowered with special faith, or wonder-working faith, and it is beyond simple saving faith.

    The gift of faith is a gift of the Spirit to the believer in order that he might receive miracles. The working of miracles, on the other hand, is a gift of the Spirit given to the believer that he might work miracles. One gift receives, the other does something. It is also important to note that all of the gifts of the Spirit operate by faith — by ordinary faith on the part of the believer through which the gift is being manifested. In other words, a person must step out in faith and yield to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. That’s where simple faith is involved. This ordinary faith is the faith that comes by hearing God’s Word. Therefore, the gifts of the Spirit do not operate by the gift of faith, but they do operate by general or ordinary faith. Remember, the Bible says, “. . . If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). The gift of faith — special faith — is also distinct from the faith that is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22). We read about the fruit of the Spirit, one of which is faith, in Galatians chapter 5. However, in the original Greek, the word “faith” in Galatians 5:22 could be translated faithfulness. The fruit of the Spirit are for character; the gifts of the Spirit are for power. Fruit is something that grows. Faith — or faithfulness — is a fruit that grows in the life of a Christian to establish him in godly spiritual character.

    As you stay connected with the Holy Spirit, He will deem it fit to manifest this faith that will empower you to act and receive supernatural manifestation in your life and in the lives of others. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gift of faith is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit that empowers you to receive miracles.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see the gift of faith manifested in your affairs this season causing you to receive solution and intervention in that situation in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
