- 2:13Speaker 1: of Kings, Almighty God, wonderful counselor the Prince of Peace. Amen,
- 2:17Speaker 1: our Savior our Lord. Amen. Our only hope that we
- 2:21Speaker 1: have in this world is the Lord Jesus. So I'm
- 2:24Speaker 1: excited about it. Use your gift we're gonna be in
- 2:29Speaker 1: what scripture we're going to be in right here? Let
- 2:30Speaker 1: me get my notes here real quick. I believe it
- 2:35Speaker 1: was First Corinthians, chapter number twelve, verses four to seven,
- 2:39Speaker 1: and we're going to combine that with verse eleven. First Corinthians.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Chot the number twelve right, Versus four to seven and
- 2:48Speaker 1: verse number eleven. We need to know what spiritual gifts
- 2:51Speaker 1: are available and how to use them to be able
- 2:54Speaker 1: to effectively serve in the Body of Christ. Because every
- 2:58Speaker 1: believer has at least listen to this. Every believer has
- 3:01Speaker 1: at least minimum one spiritual gift, Amen. And you probably
- 3:06Speaker 1: took a spiritual gift assessment in your church, Amen, and
- 3:11Speaker 1: organized church. It's something to look at, something to go over.
- 3:14Speaker 1: An assessment. Amen. I don't really buy into it too much, Amen,
- 3:18Speaker 1: because you could have a spiritual gift that God already
- 3:21Speaker 1: had told you about, and then because of an assessment,
- 3:24Speaker 1: you might be like, oh no, that's not my gift anymore.
- 3:26Speaker 1: This is my gift because the survey says Amen, so
- 3:30Speaker 1: be careful with those surveys and with those assessments. Go
- 3:33Speaker 1: to the word of God first to filter out what
- 3:36Speaker 1: God has for your life. First, Amen, And then you
- 3:39Speaker 1: can take assessments, tests or evaluations all that. I don't
- 3:43Speaker 1: think it will hurt or harm. But don't let an
- 3:45Speaker 1: evaluation or an assessment or survey change the course of
- 3:50Speaker 1: what God where God had you going. Amen. First Comment
- 3:53Speaker 1: Things Chapter twelve, verses four to seven and verse number eleven.

- 5:08Speaker 1: way of your holy Spirit. Thank you, Lord God that
- 5:11Speaker 1: when we use our gift, we are using it by
- 5:13Speaker 1: way of your spirit, and it is so effective because

- 7:50Speaker 1: We're back. Let's go for Let's see what the word
- 7:52Speaker 1: of Guy has for us. Amen. Today, I'm gonna quickly
- 7:56Speaker 1: try to put this on the screen for those who
- 7:57Speaker 1: are listening. You're gonna read it first. You can't see
- 7:59Speaker 1: because you're audio only, which is great. I love audio. Amen.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Audio is gonna be here until the Lord Jesus comes back.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I believe audio power is powerful, and the power of
- 8:09Speaker 1: audio Amen. I did a podcast on that, and I
- 8:11Speaker 1: wrote some blogs on that. The power of audio. Audibly
- 8:15Speaker 1: hearing the word of God paints pictures in our minds
- 8:18Speaker 1: and then our conscience. Amen. And those pictures are painted
- 8:21Speaker 1: on our hearts. And because it's on our heart and
- 8:23Speaker 1: in our minds, Amen, we start speaking it out. And
- 8:26Speaker 1: once we start speaking it out, we believe what we say, Amen,
- 8:29Speaker 1: because the Word of God is believable. Amen. And we
- 8:32Speaker 1: apply what we hear and we move forward. That's why
- 8:35Speaker 1: the Bible, I believe, says, don't be just a hero
- 8:38Speaker 1: of the word, but be a doer of the word. Amen.
- 8:41Speaker 1: A hero of the word is audible. And we could
- 8:43Speaker 1: see things happening with our eyes, but we could hear
- 8:46Speaker 1: things and see things at the same time when we're
- 8:49Speaker 1: doing audio. It's an amazing, amazing thing. Amen. So Let's
- 8:53Speaker 1: go for it and I'll put it on the screen.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Write about now, amen, authentic immentationology. Try to do these
- 9:00Speaker 1: every Friday at five thirty am Eastern Standard time. Use
- 9:04Speaker 1: your gift and let's go to the scripture. This is
- 9:07Speaker 1: first Corinthians shot the number twelve versus spots to seven,
- 9:10Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna put number eleven and attach that
- 9:13Speaker 1: as well. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but
- 9:17Speaker 1: the same spirit is the source of them all. Very important.
- 9:23Speaker 1: We have one source where we get these spiritual gifts,
- 9:26Speaker 1: not three sources like people think Christians are serving three
- 9:29Speaker 1: different gods. Know, we serve one God and three persons.
- 9:33Speaker 1: So it's one who and three people and one who,
- 9:37Speaker 1: three persons, one who right, and that who is God
- 9:40Speaker 1: Almighty Yahweh Prince of Peace. There are different kinds of
- 9:45Speaker 1: spiritual gifts, but the same spirit is the source of
- 9:48Speaker 1: them all. There are different kinds of service, but we
- 9:52Speaker 1: serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but
- 9:57Speaker 1: it is the same God who does the work in
- 10:01Speaker 1: all of us. We have to get this clear man.
- 10:04Speaker 1: A spiritual gift is given to each of us so
- 10:08Speaker 1: we can help each other. Get this. Jesus gave us
- 10:14Speaker 1: these gifts so we could help each other. Imagine that.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Who would have thunk it? And Verse eleven says it
- 10:22Speaker 1: is the one and only spirit who distributes all these gifts.
- 10:29Speaker 1: He alone decides which gift each person said have. And
- 10:34Speaker 1: that's why I said earlier, be careful with those assessments,
- 10:36Speaker 1: because it's not the assessment that's gonna reveal to you
- 10:40Speaker 1: your spiritual gift. It can. God could use the assessment
- 10:44Speaker 1: to give you an idea of what your spiritual gift is.
- 10:47Speaker 1: He can use anything he wants to use. But I
- 10:51Speaker 1: truly believe it. We go to his word first. Amen,
- 10:54Speaker 1: We'll see it before we see it in any kind
- 10:56Speaker 1: of survey. On assessment, we see what our spiritual gift
- 10:59Speaker 1: would be. And it's not a different spirit. If you're
- 11:04Speaker 1: born again, we have the same spirit, not a different spirit.
- 11:08Speaker 1: If you have a spiritual gift, it's from the same
- 11:11Speaker 1: God who distributes each gift. Every person should have the
- 11:17Speaker 1: same guy who does the work in all of us Man,
- 11:23Speaker 1: and it's given to us to support each other. I
- 11:28Speaker 1: know it sounds basic, but please, if we get this,
- 11:32Speaker 1: the body of Christ man will be like next level.
- 11:37Speaker 1: We'll be really helping each other out, using our spiritual
- 11:39Speaker 1: gifts to help each other out, so the world could
- 11:42Speaker 1: see that we are truly being guided by Holy Spirit God,
- 11:46Speaker 1: which is the only hope for this world right, the
- 11:49Speaker 1: hope of glory. Amen, Sister Joy and good morning God,
- 11:53Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome back to the Morning Deva. I see
- 11:55Speaker 1: you on the morning Devo chat. Also, Sister Joys, good
- 11:58Speaker 1: morning God, Bless you. God bless you as well. Thank
- 12:01Speaker 1: you for coming through to the Morning DeVos. Good to
- 12:03Speaker 1: see it. So listen, use your gift. A lot of
- 12:08Speaker 1: people I know I love to see them using their gift.
- 12:12Speaker 1: And you might think, oh, it's just something special. Do
- 12:14Speaker 1: I have to be on a mic? Do I have
- 12:15Speaker 1: to be in a pulpit? Do I have to be
- 12:16Speaker 1: in a live stream? No? If that was so, Amen,
- 12:21Speaker 1: then it would seem like we're robots. No. God has
- 12:24Speaker 1: an individual gift for you. He lists the gifts. Amen.
- 12:27Speaker 1: We're not going to go through the list right now,
- 12:29Speaker 1: but he does list the gifts, and he also lists
- 12:33Speaker 1: the fruit of the spirit. Amen. And we have it
- 12:38Speaker 1: with Jesus when he walked the earth, he had it all.
- 12:42Speaker 1: He has it all, Amen, because he's God. He has
- 12:46Speaker 1: that advantage of being God in the flesh. Amen. We
- 12:51Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit God living in us, working his
- 12:54Speaker 1: work through us. And the Bible says, we read it
- 12:58Speaker 1: that that gift is given to each one of us.
- 13:01Speaker 1: We have at least, by minimum, at least one spiritual
- 13:04Speaker 1: gift as a believer. Please believe that. Don't let anybody
- 13:08Speaker 1: tell you, oh, yeah, you know that you're gift. They
- 13:11Speaker 1: can say that, Amen. But we have a father who
- 13:14Speaker 1: will speak to us about our spiritual gift. We have
- 13:17Speaker 1: a Father in heaven who listens, who responds. He knows
- 13:21Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing in our lives, through us and
- 13:24Speaker 1: in us, and because of him, we have one spirit
- 13:28Speaker 1: one gift, at least one minimum minimum one gift. Amen.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I know people who operate in different spiritual gifts, many
- 13:36Speaker 1: spiritual gifts, Amen, and that's a blessing. I believe the
- 13:39Speaker 1: reason why people get more spiritual gifts than others, this
- 13:42Speaker 1: is just my opinion, Amen, is because I think they're
- 13:47Speaker 1: just honoring God and they're and they're responsive to God,
- 13:50Speaker 1: and they're just sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Amen. And
- 13:55Speaker 1: they move accordingly and they don't force nothing, they to
- 13:58Speaker 1: try to be someone or something or not a man
- 14:01Speaker 1: that just being themselves according to who God said they are.
- 14:07Speaker 1: We need to know what spiritual gifts are available and
- 14:10Speaker 1: how to use them to be able to effectively serve
- 14:15Speaker 1: in the Body of Christ. Men. The Body of Christ
- 14:18Speaker 1: needs to be so united that the world will be like, Yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 1: I want that. I want that type of fellowship, I
- 14:25Speaker 1: want that type of family. I want that type of unity.
- 14:28Speaker 1: I want to go to that type of church. I
- 14:30Speaker 1: want to serve their God. We have to be so
- 14:33Speaker 1: unified and so together on this Amen, so that way
- 14:37Speaker 1: we won't be chasing people around the world who have
- 14:40Speaker 1: the spiritual gift of healing, spiritual gift of casting out demons,
- 14:45Speaker 1: because we just read that each of us have at
- 14:48Speaker 1: least by minimum of spiritual gift. Amen. So, for instance,
- 14:52Speaker 1: if I had the gift of healing, Amen, and you
- 14:56Speaker 1: see me activate my gift and people are getting healed
- 15:00Speaker 1: because the Bible says that when we lay hands on
- 15:03Speaker 1: the sick, they shall recover. Notice the Bible says that
- 15:07Speaker 1: it's not a certain person who lays their hands on
- 15:10Speaker 1: a six shall recover. All you have to do to
- 15:13Speaker 1: qualify to have that spiritual gift work through you, to
- 15:15Speaker 1: have that power work through you is holy spirit of God.
- 15:18Speaker 1: You have to be one of his. You have to
- 15:19Speaker 1: be a child of God, of course, and Jesus is
- 15:22Speaker 1: the only one who gives us the right to be
- 15:25Speaker 1: called children of God. So be careful when you hear
- 15:29Speaker 1: people saying we're all children of God. It sounds it
- 15:32Speaker 1: sounds amazing, it sounds beautiful, it sounds cute. Oh, we're
- 15:35Speaker 1: all children of God. No, only Jesus gives us the
- 15:39Speaker 1: right to be called children of God. And man, are
- 15:41Speaker 1: we created by a heavenly Father? Yes, we are created
- 15:44Speaker 1: in the image of God. But after the fall Genesis
- 15:47Speaker 1: chapter three, we to face south. After the fall. If
- 15:50Speaker 1: you notice, if you're careful in your scriptures, you start
- 15:52Speaker 1: noticing that the next time there was a person birthed,
- 15:56Speaker 1: a man that says, birthed after them of Adam. Why
- 16:01Speaker 1: is that there? Amen, do your diligence, due diligence. Study
- 16:05Speaker 1: the scripture to show yourself approved and see what that's
- 16:07Speaker 1: all about. But yes, ultimately we're creating an image of God.
- 16:11Speaker 1: The first humans were created in the image of God.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Adam and Eve were created in the image of God.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So every believer has at least one spiritual gift. And
- 16:23Speaker 1: there are different kinds of gifts, right, we know that
- 16:25Speaker 1: we see that in the body. We say, well, this
- 16:28Speaker 1: person flows in this gift, and this person flows in
- 16:30Speaker 1: that gift. You know. Being a pastor and teacher, that's
- 16:33Speaker 1: a gift. I don't know if you knew that. People
- 16:37Speaker 1: think that's an occupation. People say it's a calling. It
- 16:40Speaker 1: could be a calling, part of the calling. Amen, But
- 16:42Speaker 1: it's a gift, apossible, it's a gift, evangelist, it's a gift.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Profit is a gift. We have to see what the
- 16:51Speaker 1: scripture says, Amen, and those are gifts. People think that's power,
- 16:55Speaker 1: that's authority. I'm a bishop on this that those are authority.
- 16:58Speaker 1: And then as humans, we started adding all kinds of
- 17:02Speaker 1: other titles. Amen, and we started ranking. It's so funny
- 17:07Speaker 1: because when I first got saved, you know, they would
- 17:10Speaker 1: say we're gonna put you, we're gonna start you off
- 17:13Speaker 1: in ministry, and we're gonna put you in the kids ministry.
- 17:16Speaker 1: As if that's the starting point. You know, we we
- 17:19Speaker 1: as you know, an organized church, sometimes we make stuff
- 17:22Speaker 1: up because I don't know where they would get that from.
- 17:25Speaker 1: It seems it seems right though, it seems like common
- 17:29Speaker 1: sense or basic you know, wisdom. We'll say, well, we'll
- 17:32Speaker 1: start them off with the kids first, then we'll go
- 17:35Speaker 1: to the teens, and then we put them in the adults,
- 17:37Speaker 1: and then after the adults, if the adults receive them,
- 17:40Speaker 1: his gift or whatever them will excel them to maybe
- 17:44Speaker 1: you know, evangelist or past or whatever. You don't see
- 17:48Speaker 1: that in the scriptures, but I know it sounds good
- 17:51Speaker 1: and it makes sense. Amen. So you might get saved,
- 17:55Speaker 1: for instance, and God will put you over the woman.
- 17:59Speaker 1: If you're a you're a woman to God, He'll probably
- 18:01Speaker 1: put you over the women's ministry. And it could be
- 18:03Speaker 1: adult woman, it could be women in prison, it could
- 18:05Speaker 1: be young adult women. Right. Or if since I'm a man,
- 18:11Speaker 1: he he might save me. He might have saved me.
- 18:14Speaker 1: I got I'm already saved, and put me over young
- 18:19Speaker 1: men in prison adults. So but in the church, I know, uh,
- 18:24Speaker 1: some churches that I've seen, at least I only been.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I only been at two churches my whole saved life,
- 18:30Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. I never church hopped, Amen. But I
- 18:33Speaker 1: got to know a lot of pastors, a lot of leadership,
- 18:36Speaker 1: how they operate and all that stuff just just out
- 18:38Speaker 1: of curiosity. Good morning, since Alicia, good morning. Is good
- 18:41Speaker 1: to see you. God bless you as well. And I've
- 18:44Speaker 1: seen you know, organized church, you know leadership just you know, start,
- 18:49Speaker 1: will start you off with the kids ministry and then
- 18:51Speaker 1: we'll move you up. You know. I try not to
- 18:55Speaker 1: get to involved in all that stuff. A friend of
- 18:58Speaker 1: mine says that the church has become to corporate, and
- 19:01Speaker 1: a gospel rapp that to follow. He asked the good question, says,
- 19:05Speaker 1: the church is so corporate, when is it? Where is
- 19:08Speaker 1: it in a scripture that a pastor retires? Think about it?
- 19:12Speaker 1: And where is it in a scripture that a pastor
- 19:14Speaker 1: or a teacher decide. You know, I did that in
- 19:17Speaker 1: my early years. I'm not doing that no more. I'm
- 19:19Speaker 1: not serving in that no more. That's for the leadership.
- 19:22Speaker 1: We don't do that no more. So we make stuff up.
- 19:25Speaker 1: And we started looking at a spiritual gift as a
- 19:27Speaker 1: place of authority. Amen. Yes we have authority, and yes
- 19:31Speaker 1: we're already seated and heavy do places. But when you
- 19:34Speaker 1: use your gift, Amen, is so beautiful in the body
- 19:37Speaker 1: of Christ. Amen, use it to help one another out,
- 19:40Speaker 1: use it for the glory of God. Use it for
- 19:42Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God so others could see and glorify
- 19:45Speaker 1: our Father in Heaven, not glorify us, not want to
- 19:48Speaker 1: follow us. Amen, per se, it's not that serious. Use
- 19:53Speaker 1: your use your gift, Amen, and you'll see how God
- 19:56Speaker 1: will transform and attract people to His kingdom. See how
- 20:00Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, God will move you in
- 20:03Speaker 1: places and to operate the gift so that other people
- 20:06Speaker 1: will realize. Wait a minute, you know, that's kind of
- 20:09Speaker 1: cool how they operate, how they move and they is
- 20:12Speaker 1: the body, because yeah, we are in this world, but
- 20:15Speaker 1: we're not of this world. We're operating using our spiritual gift.
- 20:20Speaker 1: And each believer has at least by minimum one spiritual gift.
- 20:23Speaker 1: But like I said, you might be operating in more
- 20:28Speaker 1: than one spiritual gift. You might be working in this,
- 20:31Speaker 1: that and the third. You might be in the Help's ministry,
- 20:33Speaker 1: you might be in dis ministry, you might be in
- 20:35Speaker 1: that ministry, operating in different gifts. Amen. And speaking of gifts,
- 20:39Speaker 1: we have a gift that gospel rap artists and Minister
- 20:42Speaker 1: Meek God bless you, bro. Welcome to the one in
- 20:44Speaker 1: Devo and he operates in the gifts of music production
- 20:50Speaker 1: rap and he could evangelize evangelism using his gift to testify.
- 20:56Speaker 1: That's another gift, right, So we don't just have like
- 21:00Speaker 1: these these gifts that we take these. I'm telling you
- 21:04Speaker 1: an assessment, an assessment. I've done it. I've done it myself.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I was instructed to do an un assessment to see
- 21:10Speaker 1: where I was. And the thing is, in my case,
- 21:13Speaker 1: I can't speak for everybond to speak for my case.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Assessment came out pretty decent and it says I was evangelists.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And I kind of knew that already because I was
- 21:24Speaker 1: anointed evangelist by my first pastor. A man God by
- 21:28Speaker 1: way of holding spirit moved to him and he stopped
- 21:31Speaker 1: the service and said, young man, come to the fore
- 21:33Speaker 1: front and just laid hands on me as evangelist. Amen,
- 21:36Speaker 1: and I can't stop talking about Jesus ever since that point.
- 21:40Speaker 1: You can't stop me of talking about Jesus and going
- 21:44Speaker 1: to do ministry. And as a matter of fact, the
- 21:47Speaker 1: regions are region in the Northeast here arguably the biggest
- 21:53Speaker 1: outdoor music festivals. It starts tonight today, Amen, and I
- 21:58Speaker 1: have the opportunity, by way of partnership with a body
- 22:01Speaker 1: of Christ, Amen, to go do some evangelism ministry helps
- 22:06Speaker 1: and work A man tearing down and you know, after
- 22:12Speaker 1: they set up, they need somebody's people to tear down.
- 22:15Speaker 1: And I volunteer to tear down tonight a man pray
- 22:18Speaker 1: for me. I don't know how to get to the
- 22:19Speaker 1: location where they at at nine in the evening, but
- 22:22Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and see how I do it. I
- 22:25Speaker 1: probably have to park a mile away and walk, but
- 22:28Speaker 1: they may be worth it for the glorial guy. Right.
- 22:30Speaker 1: And then during the week of music fest And this
- 22:34Speaker 1: is how a spiritual gift could be used as well.
- 22:36Speaker 1: You know how to read the scriptures. If you do,
- 22:38Speaker 1: you might be able to help out. If you're in
- 22:40Speaker 1: the northeast part of Pennsylvania, Amen, and we're doing a
- 22:45Speaker 1: Bible marathon reading all ten days, we'll be reading the scriptures,
- 22:50Speaker 1: and I take part in a couple of readings. Amen,
- 22:53Speaker 1: you could use your gift of reading a scripture as well.
- 22:56Speaker 1: If you want more information about that from the time
- 22:58Speaker 1: of this recording, because you might be watching this two
- 23:01Speaker 1: years later, ten years later, but from the time it
- 23:03Speaker 1: is recording. Just embossed me and I'll give you the
- 23:06Speaker 1: link to volunteer, and I'm telling you it's a beautiful thing.
- 23:12Speaker 1: The ministry I'm partnering with, they're just beautiful people. They're
- 23:16Speaker 1: looking for souls to be saved the right up my alley.
- 23:20Speaker 1: I love it to see souls reached for the gospel,
- 23:24Speaker 1: with the gospel, for the gospel's sake. So we need
- 23:27Speaker 1: to know what spiritual gifts are available. And the only
- 23:29Speaker 1: way you would know that, amen, is to first first
- 23:32Speaker 1: go to the Father, and acts we have not because
- 23:35Speaker 1: we ask not ask the Father what is it? What
- 23:39Speaker 1: kind of spiritual gift do I have? And you'll probably
- 23:42Speaker 1: already you probably have already been told what spiritual gift
- 23:45Speaker 1: you're using, but you're probably not convinced, and you probably
- 23:49Speaker 1: don't think you're qualify. You probably don't think people could
- 23:52Speaker 1: see the gift, or you probably don't think you could
- 23:55Speaker 1: be useful in the Kingdom of God. Don't believe the
- 23:57Speaker 1: lies of the enemy. The Lord says we have spiritual gifts.
- 24:00Speaker 1: He himself distributes these gifts. So trust God on the distribution,
- 24:06Speaker 1: and when he reveals the gift, you're probably already operating
- 24:09Speaker 1: in it. When he reveals that gift, trust the gift,
- 24:11Speaker 1: Trust the Lord who gave you the gift, trust the
- 24:13Speaker 1: one who distributes the gift, and start helping the body
- 24:16Speaker 1: at Christ first, and then you'll see your gift being
- 24:19Speaker 1: built up. Amen. And as long as you have a
- 24:21Speaker 1: clear conscience and you don't become arrogant about it or
- 24:24Speaker 1: anything like that, God will use you mightily in that gift. Amen.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Every part of the body counts. Every part of the
- 24:31Speaker 1: Body of Christ matters, Amen, So move forward in the
- 24:35Speaker 1: spiritual gift. Use your gift. I want to encourage you
- 24:38Speaker 1: to go to the scripture and read the whole chapter
- 24:41Speaker 1: for yourself. We were in first corenth then chapter twelve
- 24:45Speaker 1: we camped out of verses four to seven and verse eleven.
- 24:47Speaker 1: But I suggest you read the whole chapter for yourself,
- 24:50Speaker 1: so that way you can know that every believer, including yourself,
- 24:53Speaker 1: has at least one spiritual gift. So I'm out of here.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Pray for me as I move during these ten and
- 25:00Speaker 1: music fests. Amen. If you want to join me again
- 25:02Speaker 1: from the time of this recording, I'll have the information
- 25:05Speaker 1: available in box me and I'll send you a link
- 25:07Speaker 1: of how we can partner and get this out together.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Right to get the gospel out, Hey, man, use your gift.
- 25:13Speaker 1: God bless you all, got keep you all, or remember
- 25:15Speaker 1: always that God is good. Peace,
