"Concerning spiritual gifts I would not have you ignorant" Paul says this to the Corinthian church and I hear him say so today to all of us that 'Concerning spiritual gifts, you should not be un-informed' or even mis-informed

The Spirit life is our watch tower, it's where we have the advantage of perception, where we see ahead and afar by the help of the holy spirit.

The Spirit helps us address things accurately,

The Holy Spirit is not a spooky mist, He's God in us and His gifts belong to us, that we may exhibit the goodness of God

The news is we've already won, Satan and hell have been vanquished

There are no more needs for swords and shields,

However many Christians still struggle with getting a 'breakthrough', what could it be.

We must learn faith anew, know our place in Christ and what and where He has called us!

seems tough, but we must, else we lose out on what is already ours.

There is a new way to 'fight' after Christ, it's called the FIGHT OF FAITH

This is where the Church begins! 

Christ Resurrected, His Spirit in us

The Holy spirit coming upon the disciples and hence all who would believe, 

He will be in them all that JESUS was physically with them, but now they will have him personally

He will teach like the beloved Rabbi

Work miracles through them like the Healer

Just like Jesus!

Are you too far gone? have you lost your way by miles? or have the years rolled by without much harvest?

The Lord is for you, He brings it all together in his mercy and grace.

He will bring back your fire, renew youth, beautify your countenance and restore the joy of your salvations.

He will give you back your lands, and return to lushness those fields which you burnt with your errors, Yes he will show you mercy.

 Your lambs shall return home and shall find silver again.

Take a hold of his hand and set your eyes on Him again.

He will restore!

There is grace for abundance, i mean material abundance.

and it's available for us, there's grace tp multiply bread and fishes, 

Grace to obtain a bumper harvest of resources.

Jesus is the grace of God that appeared to all men,

We'll see in the bible how He wields the grace of heaven at every point of material need, showing us a pattern to follow

"For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men" - TITUS 2-11

Jesus ascends, He leaves his disciples, but drops an astonishing legacy, a royal mantle

He had once said the following in a teaching:  ........." Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ 8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the spirit".......JOHN 3:8

the last part of that statement is something that was attested to only Him; ' a child of the Holy Ghost', but now, that will be said of the disciples

He will come on them as it was on Him

He will be in them a new life, as it was in Him

A well of living water, as it was with Him

And this will be the fulfillment of a promise he made to them, when he said "WHERE I AM YOU WILL BE ALSO!!!! John 14:3

WOW!!!!

The Holy Spirit is God on our inside, he isn't just our helper,

He is the presence of God in us, it's this essence that makes us Christians. 

And we have this advantage, this guide, this awesome wind of God himself

see this:

" and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us." 2 Corinthians 1:22

you are not alone, Jesus redeemed us to God and made us habitations of Him

Our Helper!

'IN MY NAME' 

this phrase is one of the most profound in all of scripture.  Jesus gives a license, a charge even to make demands in his name, to cast out evil spirits in his name, to even heal the sick!

Then the Onus is on us to find out more about it, you see the kingdom of God functions by knowledge(what we know): “May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” 2 Peter 2:12 and if we will get the best of the wonderful name of Jesus, then let us find out why
