Spiritual Gifts GIVEN, FOR GOD Almighty’s Kingdom

Romans 12:3-8

FOR I (Believers) SAY, THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN TO Me (Believers), TO EVERYONE (Believers) Who IS Among YOU, NOT TO Think OF Himself, More Highly, THAN He Ought TO Think; BUT TO Think Soberly, AS GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS DEALT TO Each One (Believers), A Measure OF Faith.

FOR AS We (Believers) Have Many Members (Believers), IN ONE BODY (The Church), BUT ALL The Members (Believers) Do NOT Have The Same Function; SO, We (Believers), Being Many, ARE ONE BODY, IN CHRIST; AND Individually, Members OF One Another.

Having THEN, GIFTS (Spiritual Gifts) Differing, According TO The GRACE, THAT IS Given TO Us (Believers), LET Us (Believers) USE Them (Spiritual Gifts): IF Prophecy, Let Us (Believers) Prophesy, IN PROPORTION TO Our FAITH; OR Ministry, LET Us (Believers) USE IT, IN Our (Believers) Ministering; He (Believers) WHO Teaches, IN Teaching; He (Believers) WHO Exhorts, IN Exhortation; He (Believers) WHO Gives, WITH Liberality; He (Believers) WHO Leads, WITH Diligence; He (Believers) WHO Shows Mercy, WITH Cheerfulness.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11, 27-28

NOW, Concerning Spiritual Gifts, Brethren (Believers), I (Believers) Do NOT Want YOU TO BE IGNORANT (Uninformed): YOU (Believers) KNOW, That YOU Were Gentiles (Unbelievers), Carried Away TO These Dumb Idols; However YOU (Believers) WERE LED.  Therefore, I (Believers) Make Known TO YOU (Believers), THAT NO ONE (Believers), SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) OF GOD (GOD Almighty), Calls Jesus Accursed, AND NO ONE (Believers) CAN SAY, THAT Jesus IS LORD, EXCEPT BY The Holy Spirit.

THERE ARE Diversities OF GIFTS (Spiritual Gifts), BUT THE SAME SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit).  THERE ARE Differences OF Ministries, BUT THE SAME LORD (Jesus Christ).  AND THERE ARE Diversities OF Activities, BUT IT IS THE SAME GOD (GOD Almighty), WHO WORKS ALL, IN ALL.

BUT, THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) IS Given, TO Each One (Believers), FOR The Profit OF ALL: FOR TO One (Believers) IS Given The WORD OF Wisdom, THROUGH THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), TO Another (Believers) The WORD OF Knowledge, THROUGH THE SAME SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), TO Another (Believers) Faith, BY THE SAME SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), TO Another (Believers) Gifts OF Healing, BY THE SAME SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), TO Another (Believers) The Working OF Miracles, TO Another (Believers) Prophecy, TO Another (Believers) Discerning OF Spirits, TO Another (Believers) Different Kinds OF Tongues, TO Another (Believers) The Interpretation OF Tongues.

BUT, ONE AND THE SAME SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, DISTRIBUTING TO EACH ONE (Believers), Individually, AS HE (The Holy Spirit) WILLS.  NOW, YOU (Believers) ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND Members, Individually.  AND GOD (GOD Almighty) HAS APPOINTED THESE (Believers), IN The Church: FIRST Apostles, SECOND Prophets, THIRD Teachers, AFTER THAT Miracles, THEN Gifts OF Healings, Helps, Administrations, Varieties OF Tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:1, 3

Pursue LOVE, AND Desire SPIRITUAL GIFTS, BUT Especially, THAT YOU (Believers) MAY PROPHESY.  BUT, He (Believers) WHO PROPHESIES, SPEAKS EDIFICATION (Teach) AND EXHORTATION (Encourage), AND Comfort TO Men (Believers).

Ephesians 4:11-16

AND He (Jesus Christ), Himself, GAVE Some (Believers) TO BE APOSTLES, Some (Believers) PROPHETS, Some (Believers) EVANGELISTS, AND Some (Believers) PASTORS AND TEACHERS, FOR The Equipping OF The Saints (Believers) FOR The Work OF Ministry, FOR The Edifying OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, TILL We (Believers) ALL COME TO THE UNITY OF THE FAITH AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON (Jesus Christ) OF GOD (GOD Almighty), TO A PERFECT MAN, TO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST; THAT We (Believers) Should NO Longer BE Children, Tossed TO AND Fro, AND Carried About WITH Every Wind OF Doctrine (FALSE Doctrine), By The Trickery OF Men (THROUGH Satan), IN The Cunning Craftiness OF Deceitful Plotting (THROUGH Satan),  BUT, SPEAKING THE TRUTH, IN LOVE, MAY GROW UP IN ALL THINGS, INTO HIM, WHO IS THE HEAD, CHRIST, FROM WHOM, THE WHOLE BODY, Joined AND Knit Together, BY What EVERY Joint Supplies, According TO The Effective Working, BY WHICH, EVERY Part Does Its Share, Causes Growth OF THE BODY, FOR The Edifying OF Itself (The Body), IN LOVE.

1 Peter 4:10-11

AS EACH ONE (Believers) HAS RECEIVED A GIFT (Spiritual Gift), MINISTER IT TO One Another (Fellow Believers), AS GOOD STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  IF ANYONE (Believers) SPEAKS, LET Him (Believers) SPEAK AS THE ORACLES OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  IF ANYONE (Believers) MINISTERS, LET Him (Believers) DO IT, AS WITH THE ABILITY, WHICH GOD (GOD Almighty) SUPPLIES, THAT IN ALL THINGS, GOD (GOD Almighty) MAY BE GLORIFIED, THROUGH Jesus Christ, TO WHOM BELONG, THE GLORY AND THE DOMINION, FOREVER AND EVER.  AMEN.

Acts 2:17-18

BUT Peter, STANDING UP WITH The Eleven (Jesus’ Disciples), RAISED His Voice AND SAID TO Them, “BUT THIS IS WHAT WAS SPOKEN, BY The Prophet Joel:

‘AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IN THE LAST DAYS, SAYS GOD (GOD Almighty), THAT I (GOD Almighty) WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) ON ALL Flesh (Believers); Your Sons (Believers) AND Your Daughters (Believers) SHALL PROPHESY, Your Young Men (Believers) SHALL SEE VISIONS, Your Old Men (Believers) SHALL DREAM DREAMS.  AND ON My (GOD Almighty’s) Menservants (Believers) AND ON My (GOD Almighty’s) Maidservants (Believers) I (GOD Almighty’s) WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), IN THOSE DAYS; AND They (Believers) SHALL PROPHESY.’”

Folks, THESE Spiritual Gifts, BOTH Overlap AND Duplicate; Meaning, YOU May Possess, More Than One Spiritual Gift; Usually, A Combination OF Spiritual Gifts, Which Complement One Another.  For Example, Your Pastor May Possess The Spiritual Gifts OF Teaching AND Administration.

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, ALWAYS!

We Each Have A Permanent Personal Relationship WITH GOD Almighty; We Each Have A Permanent Personal Relationship WITH Jesus Christ, AND We Each Have A Permanent Personal Relationship WITH The Holy Spirit!

Therefore, BECAUSE OF THESE Permanent Mutual Relationships, We ALSO, Have A Permanent Personal Relationship, WITH EACH OTHER, AS THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST; OF WHICH, JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAD!

We ARE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, UPON THIS World (Satan’s World); We ARE Watchmen AND Watchwomen, SITTING UPON THE WALL; We ARE CHILDREN OF GOD Almighty; We ARE SPIRITUAL WARRIORS, STANDING AGAINST Evil (Satan, the fallen angels, demons, FALSE gods, FALSE idols, FALSE Prophets, FALSE Doctrine, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers); We ARE GOD Almighty’s MESSENGERS, SHARING The Good News OF GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE, THROUGH GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF Salvation, Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ!

SO, Until Either GOD Almighty TAKES Us (Believers), FROM THIS WORLD (Satan’s World), THROUGH Physical Death (Individually) OR Jesus Christ TAKES Us (Believers), FROM THIS WORLD (Satan’s World), THROUGH The Being Caught Up Together (Collectively), We (Believers) WILL CONTINUE TO WORSHIP AND SERVE GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, AND The Holy Spirit, WITH All Our Heart, WITH All Our Mind, WITH All Our Body, WITH All Our Strength, AND WITH All Our Soul (Spirit), EVERY Single Moment OF EVERY Single Day!  KNOWING, We WILL BE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!

We Boldly AND Proudly PUT ON The Whole ARMOR OF GOD Almighty AND We WILL NEVER TAKE IT OFF!

We KNOW, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond.  SO, There IS NO Time TO Waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ.

“SUDDENLY, We (Believers) WILL BE NO MORE; FOR Jesus Christ HAS TRULY TAKEN Us!  AMEN!”
