What Happens When You Ask for the Holy Spirit and Actually Use the Gifts

The things that Jesus did...changed the course of history! And yet, Jesus said in John 14:12. "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." Did you catch that? Jesus said that we will do even greater things than he did! In 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, the Bible lists all the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are the Gifts that will allow us to do the "greater things" that Jesus was talking about! Below are a list of those Gifts.Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Gifts of Healing, Miraculous Powers, Prophecy, Distinguishing Between Spirits, Speaking in Different Kinds of Tongues and The Interpretation of Tongues. The key to having these gifts operating in your life is that you must be and/or become a Born Again Believer of Jesus Christ! And even then, these Gifts are distributed by the will of the Holy Spirit.&nbsp; As you pursue God, honestly and openly...and you want these Gifts...I believe God will give you the desires of your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." There is no limit to what God can do through your life! And this is what we will be rewarded for...once we get to heaven! The gift that has operated most consistantly in my life has been the gift of "Distinguishing of Spirits", also called "Spiritual Discerment". Through this gift, the Lord will reveal to me the spiritual condition of something. Whether it be a location, person, or event. The Bible cautions us not to judge by mere physical sight. Why? Because by doing so, we could draw some wrong conclusions. For example, I've been in many beautiful churches filled with people. From the outside, you would think that these churches were very successful. But in reality, the Holy Spirit showed me that the presence of God was barely in them. This is not always the case, but sometimes it is. On the other hand, I've been to prayer groups in homes and small churches that had peeling paint on the walls, tattered window coverings, and single light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Regardless of the decor, The Spirit of God was so strong in these places that you could barely stand up!&nbsp; When the Spirit of God moves, many times this movement is small, but even though it is small, it has direction. And as you wait, that direction begins to reveal itself. The more time you spend with God, through prayer and reading His word, the easier it becomes to know the direction He wants you to go. As you learn to follow His guidance, oppurtunities for ministry will begin to come your way. As a result, the Holy Spirit will jump in and teach you everything you'll need to know in order to be successful as you navigate these oppurtinities! Also, keep in mind that for every authentic move of God...satan has a counterfeit. This is why the Gift of Spiritual Discernment is so important! In this Podcast I'll not only talk about the Spiritual Gifts, I'll share other examples of how the Lord reveals himself to me, both in his word, and during the time I spend in prayer. Keep in mind that if God can do these things in my life He can do the same things in your life!&nbsp; If you want to discover and/or rediscover the life God has for you, then go to my website: soulsplasher.com and read "The First Step to a Changed Life". This will explain everything you need to know about starting a relationship with God through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. All The Best,Timmer J
