“Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.When IContinue reading “Concerning Spiritual: (17) In Part”

We’ve come a ways with this study on “Concerning Spiritual.” And I’ll continue it through 1 Corinthians chapter fourteen. Why? Because so much of this has been lost in the church. Jesus restored the knowledge of the gifts of the Spirit to the church, but the church has largely turned a blind eye. In theseContinue reading “Concerning Spiritual: (16)”

In our last lesson, we found we are all individual members in the body of Christ. Each one of us has something unique to offer, our own special place, and all are equally important. Paul continues this thought in verse twenty-seven: “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (1 Corinthians 12:27). ButContinue reading “Concerning Spiritual: (15) Manifestations of The Spirit in Ministry Gifts”

God, through the apostle Paul, tells us that He doesn’t want us to be ignorant of spiritual things: “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant” (1 Corinthians 12:1). Yet, so many of us are completely in the dark about the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit. What aContinue reading “Concerning Spiritual: (13) Interpretation of Tongues”

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, toContinue reading “Concerning Spiritual: (12) Tongues — For Private and Public Use”

I’ve saved tongues and interpretation of tongues for last. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and ignorance with tongues, because Satan has attacked this gift probably more than any other. If we allow the devil to keep us in the dark, our most valuable prayer gift will be stopped. We’ll also have to break this intoContinue reading “Now Concerning Spiritual: (11) Tongues — An Initial Experience”

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, toContinue reading “Now Concerning Spiritual: (10) Prophecy”

So, we’ve covered the first two revelation gifts — the gift of the word of wisdom and the gift of the word of knowledge. Today we will cover the third of the gifts that reveal something. These gifts reveal something that we couldn’t know in the natural. They’re given as the Spirit wills, and weContinue reading “Now Concerning Spiritual: (9) The discerning of Spirits”

The first of the revelation gifts that we studied was the word of wisdom. We’ll continue our study with the second of the three gifts that reveal something – the word of knowledge. The word of knowledge is a supernatural revelation by God’s Spirit of certain facts in the mind of God. The reason whyContinue reading “Now Concerning Spiritual: (8) The Word of Knowledge”
