- 1:21Speaker 1: here's Richard with today's reflection.
- 1:24Speaker 2: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each
- 1:28Speaker 2: one for the profit of all. For to one is
- 1:31Speaker 2: given the word of wisdom through the spirit to another,
- 1:34Speaker 2: the word of knowledge through the same spirit to another,
- 1:38Speaker 2: Faith by the same spirit to another, gifts of healings
- 1:42Speaker 2: by the same spirit to another, the working of miracles
- 1:46Speaker 2: to another, prophecy to another, discerning of spirits to another,
- 1:52Speaker 2: different kinds of tongues or languages to another, the interpretation
- 1:57Speaker 2: of tongues or languages One and the same Spirit works
- 2:03Speaker 2: all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
- 2:09Speaker 2: First Corinthians twelve seven through eleven. We've been studying the
- 2:16Speaker 2: nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. It's important that we
- 2:20Speaker 2: also mention that there are nine fruits of the Holy Spirit,
- 2:26Speaker 2: which are described in Galatians chapter five and verses twenty
- 2:30Speaker 2: two and twenty three. These nine fruits of the Spirit
- 2:36Speaker 2: exemplified God imparting his divine nature into the core of
- 2:41Speaker 2: our personalities to help make us into a holy people.
- 2:48Speaker 2: You see, God's ultimate aim for all of us is
- 2:52Speaker 2: our sanctification in Him, and part of that sanctification process
- 2:58Speaker 2: has to do with the Holy Spirit himself transmitting nine
- 3:03Speaker 2: specific divine qualities and attributes into our personalities. When you
- 3:10Speaker 2: put these two transforming manifestations together and allow God to
- 3:17Speaker 2: work with a believer with these nine fruits and nine gifts,
- 3:22Speaker 2: you will have a mighty sanctified soldier for Jesus Christ.
- 3:28Speaker 2: As the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit will give
- 3:32Speaker 2: you heavy ammunition to have at your disposal as you
- 3:38Speaker 2: walk with God's anointing in your daily life. The Holy
- 3:43Speaker 2: Spirit can manifest any one of these nine gifts through
- 3:48Speaker 2: any believer at any time that he wants to do so.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Each one of these gifts are major power gifts, and
- 3:58Speaker 2: they are all wrecked supernatural, miraculous manifestations from the Holy
- 4:05Speaker 2: Spirit himself, and any Christian can get themselves into proper
- 4:12Speaker 2: position to receive these nine gifts. As the Apostle Paul
- 4:18Speaker 2: himself tells us, not to be afraid to try and
- 4:23Speaker 2: stir up these nine specific gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Not only does the Bible tell us that these nine
- 4:32Speaker 2: gifts of the Spirit are available to all believers, but
- 4:36Speaker 2: it also takes us one step further and tells us
- 4:40Speaker 2: that we can actually try and stir up these nine
- 4:44Speaker 2: gifts with the Lord. And here are five very good
- 4:50Speaker 2: verses telling us to not only desire spiritual gifts, but
- 4:55Speaker 2: to also not be afraid to try and stir these
- 4:59Speaker 2: gifts up with the Lord. The first verse is, therefore, brethren,
- 5:03Speaker 2: desire earnestly to prophesy First Corinthians fourteen thirty nine, and
- 5:11Speaker 2: desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy From
- 5:17Speaker 2: First Corinthians fourteen one. Do not quench the spirit, and
- 5:22Speaker 2: do not despise prophecies. First Thessalonians five nineteen. Do not
- 5:29Speaker 2: neglect the gift that is in you. Meditate on these things,
- 5:34Speaker 2: give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be
- 5:38Speaker 2: evident to all Verse Timothy four fourteen. Therefore, I remind
- 5:45Speaker 2: you to stir up the gift of God which is
- 5:49Speaker 2: in you through the laying on of my hands Paul's
- 5:53Speaker 2: admonition to Timothy in two Timothy one six. As such,
- 6:01Speaker 2: every believer should go to the Lord in prayer and
- 6:04Speaker 2: ask him to release these nine gifts through them any
- 6:09Speaker 2: time that he wants to do so. Let God know
- 6:14Speaker 2: that you will be a willing vessel for the manifestations
- 6:19Speaker 2: of these gifts, and that you will give him a
- 6:22Speaker 2: full and complete permission to manifest these gifts through you
- 6:29Speaker 2: at any time that he wants to do so. These
- 6:33Speaker 2: nine gifts are a tremendous help and aid to not
- 6:37Speaker 2: only you in your own personal walk with the Lord,
- 6:41Speaker 2: but many of them can be also used to help
- 6:46Speaker 2: other people out as special needs and circumstances arise in
- 6:51Speaker 2: their lives. Notice that in the scripture verse and it
- 6:57Speaker 2: talks about to every every one, the gifts are given
- 7:03Speaker 2: to profit for all. Stop and think about what all
- 7:09Speaker 2: nine of these gifts from the Holy Spirit are really about.
- 7:14Speaker 2: We're talking about God Almighty himself coming in and manifesting
- 7:21Speaker 2: a part of himself through these nine gifts. You know,
- 7:25Speaker 2: since God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are perfectly one
- 7:30Speaker 2: with another in the Divine Trinity, and this is what
- 7:34Speaker 2: is sometimes called pushing the envelope kind of activity with
- 7:40Speaker 2: the Lord. With every single one of these nine gifts
- 7:44Speaker 2: being direct, miraculous manifestations from the Holy Spirit, We're tempting
- 7:51Speaker 2: to tread into deeper waters with the Lord. And that
- 7:56Speaker 2: is exactly what God is asking all of us to
- 8:00Speaker 2: do with these special gifts. When the Apostle Paul tells
- 8:06Speaker 2: us to desire earnestly these spiritual gifts and not to
- 8:10Speaker 2: be afraid to try and stir these gifts up with
- 8:13Speaker 2: the Lord, then you and I know God the Father
- 8:18Speaker 2: is giving all of us an open invitation to pursue
- 8:23Speaker 2: these nine specific gifts. Just think how many more people
- 8:31Speaker 2: could come to the Lord be saved if we would
- 8:35Speaker 2: allow the Holy Spirit to manifest some of these nine
- 8:40Speaker 2: gifts through us from time to time. Each one of
- 8:45Speaker 2: these nine gifts are major, powerful manifestations from God. Most
- 8:52Speaker 2: of them are allowing the Lord to manifest himself to
- 8:57Speaker 2: help someone else. Though Jesus is in heaven right now
- 9:04Speaker 2: with his heavenly Father, we are all still here on
- 9:10Speaker 2: this earth, and the Holy Spirit lives inside of us.
- 9:16Speaker 2: If we are believers through the Holy Spirit, both God
- 9:22Speaker 2: the Father and Jesus Christ can still manifest themselves into
- 9:27Speaker 2: our daily lives and any situations that we will need
- 9:33Speaker 2: their particular help. God and Jesus are still in the rescue,
- 9:39Speaker 2: help and deliverance business, and if you will allow God
- 9:44Speaker 2: to manifest these nine gifts through you from time to time,
- 9:48Speaker 2: you yourself can become an actual partaker in some of
- 9:54Speaker 2: their divine rescue and deliverance missions. You yourself can help
- 9:59Speaker 2: carry on the divine supernatural ministry that Jesus left behind
- 10:05Speaker 2: when he ascended to his Father. The Great Commission states
- 10:11Speaker 2: that we are to go to save, to heal, deliver,
- 10:15Speaker 2: and to disciple. These nine specific gifts will help us
- 10:22Speaker 2: to do just that. These may be referred to as
- 10:27Speaker 2: torpedo gifts because they're like bullets loaded in a gun,
- 10:33Speaker 2: ready to shoot out of us at any time. Under
- 10:37Speaker 2: the full control and direction of the Holy Spirit. These
- 10:42Speaker 2: nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are the spiritual ammunition
- 10:49Speaker 2: you and I will need to go to war for
- 10:52Speaker 2: the Lord to help set the captives free, as the
- 10:56Speaker 2: Bible tells us all to learn how to become good
- 11:02Speaker 2: soldiers of Jesus Christ. Combine these nine gifts of the
- 11:07Speaker 2: Holy Spirit with the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit
- 11:12Speaker 2: so God can transform and mold you into the kind
- 11:17Speaker 2: of person He wants you to become in Him, and
- 11:22Speaker 2: you will then become a truly sanctified, fully prepared God
- 11:28Speaker 2: warrior like King David and Joshua were. Then you will
- 11:34Speaker 2: be able and ready to take on the real golias
- 11:38Speaker 2: of this world with absolutely no fear. Since you know
- 11:42Speaker 2: now that you have the power of the Holy Spirit
- 11:46Speaker 2: himself on the inside of you. Then along with these
- 11:53Speaker 2: specific powerful gifts of the Spirit, you can see the
- 11:58Speaker 2: manifestation through your life at any time that will enable
- 12:05Speaker 2: you to help yourself or any other individual in different
- 12:12Speaker 2: needs as it rides in their lives.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Richard will be right back in a moment to wrap up.

- 13:01Speaker 1: to wrap up today's message.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Why do we seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit
- 13:10Speaker 2: Because we should desire spiritual gifts. We are admonished not
- 13:18Speaker 2: to quench the spirit and to do not despise prophecies.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Prophecies only one of the manifestations. We will be discussing
- 13:30Speaker 2: each one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Again.
- 13:36Speaker 2: We did a brief review in an earlier segment. Now
- 13:41Speaker 2: we are going to cover these in greater detail. Join
