Spiritual Gifts

"Gifts"
1 Corinthians 12 speaks on spiritual gifts. To know ur gift, ur house has to be in order, God will not bless you in you mess. You are gifted but you have too much mess in your life.

1 corinthians 3 states our mess in our lives. Paul is speaking to the church, he said that he couldn't speak to the church bc they were tooo carnal minded. We are as babies, not ready to be feed meat, but only milk, bc we are not spiritually grown. We have too much mess in our lives and its affecting our growth in the spirit. Chapter 11speaks on how divided the church is, why come to church and not fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ? If u don't want to help your fellow brothers and sisters, u can stay at home. When we meet in the name of God, how can we be separated? God brings us together to help each other, we are family with one Father. We are family, we need to act as such. Knowing that God is our father, there are soooo many times when God could have just left us in the trouble that we were in but bc you are His baby boy or just bc ur his baby gurl and yu mean that much to Him, He shows up. Just as a parent shows up when we acted bad at school, God shows up.


Chapter 12 1 explains that Paul wants to educate us about our gifts. If we don't know our gift, the Devil will use it against us. Verse 2 states that we had allow things to come into our lives that we put in front of God (Idols) and this has led is away from the spirit. We have allowed our kids, our partner, our cars, our titles, or whatever. The Devil will throw whatever he can at us to distract us from our Gifts. The Devil will work on us to make it hard for u to let our past go. Always remember that the Devil is a liar and he will do whatever he can to get us disconnected from the spirit.

The Devil will place a void in your life and you will keep doing things that will not satisfy you. He will keep you in the clubs trying to fill a void that you will never be able to fill. When your in the club, you will are not in your right mind, u are letting the wrong spirits (alcohol) take over you. There are people who will not allow their gift to manifest bc they don't want someone outside of the church to front them out when they see them in church. Some people will not sing in the choir bc they are scared that someone who was just in the club with them the night before will front them out. Let your past go, and leave the clubs and use your spiritual gifts. Pagans feel as if being in church won't allow you to be free, when in actually, being in the world will keep you in the bondage of hell. Jesus died so that we can be free, He already paid the cost, so we can live free.
