The 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit - PART 86

AFTER JESUS ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE GAVE GIFTS TO THE BELIEVERS. 

There are diversities of gifts, but it is the same holy Spirit of Jesus that imparts them all. It is important to note that these Spirit gifts are given for the application of various ministries within Jesus own body. The body or church is the temple and habitation of the Spirit of Jesus. For those of you who are new to the gospel, there is only one body and there is only one Spirit. And, it is the same Christ in God who achieves His purposes through them all.

Each believer who is born again of God, (born of water and of spirit) becomes a living member of the temple of God. In this new capacity, believers become functioning members into the body of Christ. They become adequately equipped of God, and as such, are now capable of exercising completely that which other members of the one body of Jesus may have need of at appropriate times (each member serving willingly each and every other member).

The scriptures state it this way: 

For to one is given by the holy Spirit of Jesus the ability to speak wisdom.

To another is given by the holy Spirit of Jesus the power to express knowledge.

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus, special faith.

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus, the gift of healing.

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus, the power to work miracles.

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus, prophetic insight. 

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus the power to discern between true spirits and false spirits.

To another is given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus, the ability to speak in languages that he never formally learned. These tongues of men and of angels, both unknown or unheard of. 

To another given by the same holy Spirit of Jesus is the capacity to interpret languages spoken through the gift of spiritual tongues.
 
Collectively, and individually, these nine gifts are the gifts of the Spirit of Jesus given for the edification of His own body (HIS TEMPLE). Jesus empowering each member and Jesus apportioning to each believer as He chooses and wills. For there is only one body. But within the body, there are many organs that work together in unity. In the same fashion, we are members of the body of Christ. We were all brought into that one body by water baptism in Jesus name and by the purifying baptism of His holy Spirit. We have all been added to the holy Spirit’s body, which is the body of the Christ. Because we are all members of Jesus' body, we all drink the same drink, and we all eat the same meat.

To this end, let there be no divisions between believers. For it is written "they shall all be taught of God." From here, we will now move into the law of the spirit of life, which indwells the body of Christ, breaking the shackles and the yoke of religious bondage, permitting believers to arise and take up the ministries of the Spirit of Jesus gifted to believers. Stand in the Offering Plate. Jesus said come to Me and I will give you rest.
