From my notes, I present an edited Sermon at our church by Pastor Allan
God is our healer. He restores, renews and removes those things
that should not be there. He reverses
the curse and makes crooked places straight.
God desires that you remain
healed. Now obey what He tells you in
order to keep your healing.
We have a church here, but
also church is where we are. Walk with
the power of God on you. Be activated always. Keep the Spirit turned on.
Remember the Gifts of the
Holy Spirit operate as our relationship with God is activated and we seek and
desire Spiritual Gifts.
We receive by asking and then
by obeying. Prepare yourself with the
truth of the Word.
God speaks to each of us
differently. Some see visions, hear
voices, but usually it is through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit’s inner
witness inside us.
God’s Word activated in us
will revolutionize our city, our families and ourselves. God desires to activate Spiritual gifts in us
as we draw near.
I Corinthians 12:1-7 Paul reminds us not to be ignorant, but to
earnestly desire Spiritual Gifts.
8. Realize there are differences of
administration, operations and manifestations, as well as diversities and
differences of the gifts. The Gifts of
the Holy Spirit are to profit you and others.
To one is given by the Spirit the Word of Wisdom, the Word of Knowledge,
Special Faith, Gifts of Healing, Working of Miracles, Prophesy, Discerning of
spirits, Divers kinds of Tongues, and Interpretation of tongues.
All these gifts work by the
Holy Spirit dividing to each person as He wills. The gifts do not make us better than others,
but are to equip and benefit for the profit of all.
All the Gifts are given by ONE the self
same Spirit the same God.
I Corinthians 12: 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.
Paul asks, Are all prophets, or are all teachers, or workers of miracles? Do all speak with tongues, do all interpret?
The caution is that all the
gifts operate by love. Follow Love, but
earnestly desire Spiritual Gifts, especially to prophesy.
Are you ready for this? It may be too deep for some of you who are
still rejoicing in Salvation, and are at the basic level.
We need to consider that
there is MORE and we are to seek and activate
what is available.
Jesus encourages us to step
up and step out to exercise what is in us.
The Holy Spirit in us holds
all the Gifts, We must activate what is
needed at the time.
Be willing to move into God’s
plan for you. God works usually through
individuals, so we must be willing to be used of God. Call on Him to activate in you, His Gifts.
He will reveal to you, Step one, two and three.
Pastor called all those who
desired prayer for healing to come forward and many came and were prayed for.
