Whether it is your family, ministry or work, this message will stir your faith and help you to minister and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit!
The manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every
man or woman for usefulness
So it’s not just for
pastors, pastors Henry or Prince
No, no, it’s for all of us
Okay?
So if you ask me Pastor
Prince I don’t know how to operate
That’s the reason
we had these meetings
Pastor Prince but I don’t feel
worthy to be used by the
Lord do you part of
“The New Creation” church?
You know what Lord
calls this gift? Charisma
in the plural is Charismata, Charismata
is in the plural
Charisma comes from charis, grace
translated from Greek “grace” is charis
Charisma means the gift of grace,
Charismata is plural, the gifts
of grace
write the..
.where is my bible?
Write charisma, the definition
given by Theyer
I will give the definition of charisma
by Theyer, it is not mine
“Charisma means favor that someone
receives without any merit from him”
favor that someone receives
without any merit from him
Now, do you know that the 9 gifts
of the Holy Spirit are named
Charisma gifts, means that all the gifts
of the Holy Spirit are:
“Favor that someone receives without
any merit from his own part”
So, if you say , I fasted 40 days
and 40 nights for this gift,
That’s why it’s pouring in, I know
it was taught like that,
Some people teach in the
following way:
“I prayed for hours and hours that
‘s why the gifts manifest
The fact is that they prayed for hours
and hours and somewhere in
those long hours they started to
believe that the gifts are going to manifest
and their faith does that
So, the fact is, that anyone
who knows that this is not
obtained by own deserves
then, whoever is less qualified
can operate the most in these gifts
Wow, these are the affirmations of the
Holy Spirit, Amen
If you know there is no
merit on your part,
then, I must not m worry
if I did this or something right.
It’s not about any merit on our part
it’s a gift by favor, it’s a gift
by grace
So everyone must flow into the charisma
of God, into the charismata of God
must be those who understand
the caris , must be the churches
that preach the charis, there must
be people who understand the charis
of the churches whose pastors are
known to preach the charis, Amen
These pastors are named: “Pastors
Princes of charis” Amen,
D so much more if one is known to
have charis then we
shall have charismatas, Amen
The fact is if you
understand grace but you apply it
for all of the different
examples or values for the gifts When
t comes to the gifts ,
you are influenced by your environment,
by what you have seen, what you have
heard or perhaps the
conferences you have attended, or perhaps
in your previous church
a visitor from abroad has come
or an evangelical healer, or else
you heard something
that makes you believe re
that you have to qualify to
have a certain level so that
the donations can flow in but indeed
there is no merit on our part
it is a favor that God gives
without any merit on our part
and that explains why , there are people
who operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit
but it is later discovered that
they are addicted to alcohol
or even in their life immorality
is revealed
and people are shocked, they say:
“How is God can
use them in such a powerful way”
These people are operating in such
power of the spirit and people
are being healed, and these things are happening
and they can’t
understand not understanding,
me says they can’t
understand
because it’s a gift of grace
Amen
Now, do
we have to abuse because
it’s a gift of grace?
of course not, I think
you know me till now
Indeed, we should be
grateful to the Lord, Amen,
but you must know that this
manifestation of the Spirit
and the gift of grace has nothing to do
on your own merit
So if things happen
you can’t glorify yourself
or give yourself any credit
because you have no merit.
If you pray for someone and the person
is healed
, do you have merit?
I ask you again
If you pray for someone and God
heals them, is that your merit?
So why do you take responsibility
for failure, when it’s not healed?
Why do you feel bad? Amen
So the same way you say
How can this man of God
operate in supernatural gifts
and miracles happen,
genuine miracles happen
and yet we find after that he has
a problem with alcohol, or immorality
why is it so? the very fact
of asking this question,
even the pastors ask themselves this
question it tells us that
they do not understand the
charisma do you know
something church?
I think we are paving the way
for the manifestation of
natural things based on grace,
manifestation of miracles based
on grace, manifestations
based on grace
, people realize, My God!
it’s so easy
and a lot of people are
going to qualify themselves, a
lot of people are going to realize
that their disqualifications even qualify them, Amen
Go back with me to 1 Corinthians
12:1-9 we’re going to use that passage
because that passage God gave me
“Now for
spiritual gifts I don’t want you brothers
to be ignorant”
Why the Bible says, God says, the Holy
Spirit tells us,
I don’t want you to be
in ignorance, and this is the subject of which
many believers are ignorant.
Till this day many believers
think they have to earn it,
some believers believe you
have to pay the price for it that you
have to pray for hours and hours
so that God can use them,
I believe in prayer, the problem
with praying for hours and hours
and all that
we don’t understand it
might hurt my wife if I
said I’m going to spend time with
my wife and the next day I say
I’m going to spend long enough to
talk with her, that going to hurt her if
she heard me say that to her, she
would have liked to hear that it
gives me pleasure to speak with her and
time passes, as if it flies away
Do you understand what I am saying?
When we worship
God Time flies, you want
one more song, one more song
This is prayer, this is the highest
form of prayer, worship
So prayer is not
just requests addressed
We might get bored, you know,
we just have to have a relationship with God
Forget any religious form
concerning prayer and speak to Him
as to a friend. Amen
speak to your Heavenly father as if
you were his child, because you are
his beloved child
Hear Him tell you, you are my
beloved daughter, in whom I am very happy
You are my beloved, and dear
these words, each of these words
Believe it is the
highest form of prayer, when you
receive from God you honor
him as
the giver Prayer puts God in his rightful
place as the giver
and all of us in our rightful place
as those who receive
If prayer makes us like those
who work, or those who produce
and all that, we take the place of
God and prayer has lost its essence
some people have even transformed it
into… ..
So the first statement,
“Now, as far as
spiritual gifts are concerned, I don’t want you, brethren,
to be ignorant”
and the church is still ignorant.
So when God says don’t
be ignorant
don’t be ignorant
Go back to your neighbor
and say,
“Don’t be such an ignoramus
about the gifts of God” Amen?
Amen
You know, “ignorant” comes from what
word?
Who can tell me, “ignorant” comes
from what word?
(from audience) Ignore
very well
We can’t be ignorant
about this subject, about
the gifts of the Holy Spirit
God wants us to never ignore
this subject, some people say,
some denominations say,
“You know the gifts of the Holy Spirit
are not important, it is love”
But, the bible does not say that love is
more important, as if love
were a gift, no.
The way to manifest the gifts
1 Corinthians -13 lists
the gifts, sorry, 1 Corinthians 12
lists the gifts,
after 1 Corinthians -13, before
starting this chapter, love
is patient, is full of kindness, it’s
a way of telling you, I’m going to
show you a more excellent way,
a way for what?
a way to manifest the gifts
this is confirmed in chapter 14
in chapter 14 it is said: ”
follow love and aspire to spiritual gifts”
and in 1 Corinthians -14, there is
no compromise, saying :
“now you have love, you
don’t need gifts”
right?
it says: “Follow love and aspire
for spiritual gifts”
So, concerning the gifts, I meditated on
that yesterday and the Lord said to me:
“Do you know why I said now?”
1 Corinthians -12, starts from now
doesn’t it?
do you know the meaning of
“now”? Alright,
Now,
why did God say, “Now,”
He told me it’s because
of the previous chapter
Only when you understand
the previous chapter, you can
go to the now, the now
comes after the previous chapter
What does the previous chapter relate
?
1 Corinthians -11?
Our church does this every
Sunday what does 1 Corinthians -11 say?:
“the holy supper”
Amen
When you understand this
and you take it according to the right
teaching you are already ready
Now, Amen.. So, when The Lord showed me this
I was so excited, he
said to me: “Do you know why I am showing you
these things now?
I did not realize this right away
“Because you have been faithful
in teaching the holy but
your church has practiced this,
now, concerning spiritual gifts
, “
we are now
in God’s prophetic time
Church, we are now
in God’s prophetic time
We have arrived at “now”
the now of miracles, Amen.
