00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 3rd February 2016 Gifts of fruits of the Holy Spirit Gifts of fruits of the Holy Spirit which you desire? The question I’m asking is which you desire? Today we
have to decide which you desire first. Now First Corinthians 12, 8, 10. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are there to one is given through the Holy Spirit the power to speak the message of wisdom.
00:30 I’m reading my amplified and to another the power to express the word of knowledge and understanding according to the same spirit. To another wonder working faith is given by the same Holy Spirit. Now remember, everybody has given a measure of
faith.
00:45 But this particular gift is wonder working faith. More than a measure of faith to exercise to make the faith work in such extent that it be evident to another the extraordinary gifts of healing for the one spirit healing. Now cast our spirits and we
heal in Jesus name that everybody can do.
01:05 These are extraordinary gifts of healing. And to another the working of miracles. And to another prophecy foretelling the future.
01:12 Speaking a new message from God to the people to another discerning of spirits that is the ability to distinguish sound godly doctrine and the deceptive doctrine of man made religions and cults to another various kinds of unknown tongues into
another interpretation of tongues. These are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Now what has happened is when I first came to the Lord and God has arrested me and I’m trying to, you know, just very grateful to Jesus Christ.
01:44 Grateful, grateful for peace, joy. So I go. So there will be preachers coming from all over the world and then they will be preaching about designing the gifts of the Holy Spirit and they will be stirring up the gifts, which is all true.
01:59 True. Even Apostle Paul told them, stir up the gifts. That means nobody using the gifts stir up the gifts that you have.
02:06 Stir now. But of course what they fail is they begin to desire this. Now then people are going around there, what gift shall I have? What? What the gifts you have.
02:16 What gifts the other person has. This became a big issue, you know, so I’m wondering in the spirit, in my spirit, although I’m just a few weeks old in Christ, there’s a serious check in my spirit. Why are these people chasing these gifts? And then
after that, then when I ask somebody, yes, you’re supposed to desire the gifts towards the gifts.
02:35 But why was my spirit distressed? Is I’m sure it was the spirit of God was distressing my spirit. Because there are other things which you have to do first we have to have the Gifts of the Holy Spirit we can desire, we must desire, we can cover. The
only place to cover churches is this other worldly covetousness is terrible sin and will destroy us.
02:57 And God’s word says cover the gifts. You want the gifts. But what God’s word is not the whole counsel of God.
03:06 That’s why when people take counsel one scripture here and start chasing and then which goes to the flesh, why they are chasing here and there. It’s not spirit led. It was carnal led, it was worldly led.
03:18 I want a gift. I want a gift. I will do the gift.
03:21 I’ll do great exploits for God. I will work for God. Then they’ll say, your fire for God.
03:27 All this must put aside. First rule of life in Christ is humbleness. Humbleness.
03:33 But more importantly. Now let’s look at, you know, the other thing. There are fruits of the Spirit.
03:38 There are fruits of the Spirit. Now the fruits of the Spirit is love. It is in Galatians 5, 22, 23.
03:48 Love, joy, peace. It starts off like this. Now, by contrast, I am reading from the Catholic edition.
03:55 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit. That’s from the contrast from the world on all the sinful things. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
04:08 There’s no law against such. I mean, we have to practice this. Nobody is going to stop this now.
04:13 Brothers and sisters, what is happening here is we need to get the fruits of the Spirit first. Coveting the gifts of the Holy Spirit that goes around. It even goes around now.
04:26 They feed this so much into people. People want to do great things for God. I’ll do a great work for God.
04:32 When the fundamental is not done, first you have the fruit of the Spirit must bear in you. It must come out. People see that you have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
04:48 That is why there will be people who are chasing of these gifts of the Holy Spirit and even trying to apply the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And then they will try. God gave me a word for you.
04:56 God gave me a word for you. And they go around, but they completely ignore the fundamental. The fundamental is first of all, when you are in Christ, the fruit of the Spirit must come out, must bear fruit.
05:11 You are bearing fruit by the fruit of the. When you say you bear much fruit, first of all is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. This gentleness is a new modern English.
05:25 Don’t mistake for this. It is humbleness to the word of God. Humbleness to God.
05:29 Now can you imagine? Jesus went and turned all the tables in the temple and started whipping all kinds of things made of whip and went around whipping and chasing everybody out obviously. So that cannot be gentleness, isn’t it? That gentleness that
we understand is gentleness. We understand gentleness like a weak man, you know, hello brother, how are you? False humility and trying to pretend to be husband.
05:53 Hello brother, how are you? That’s not the general address nonsense. Jesus Christ was tough. Was a man.
06:01 Man, man, man. What? He was unheard as a man. He was tough what is right, what is wrong.
06:07 But when he sees somebody suffering, his heart will melt. When he sees somebody calling out for mercy, his heart will be compassionate. When he saw this Lazarus and around people, all around the grave are weeping, his heart broke.
06:22 And the word of God says in that two words, Jesus wept. In that phrase, there’s only two words, Jesus wept. Can you imagine a whole phrase in the Bible, just two words, Jesus wept.
06:35 Why compassionate? You’re talking about that you’re not talking about. Hello, how are you, brother? You know all this false humility and pretend to be. Now you know, with all these things happening in the world today, men are becoming like women.
06:48 Like. Isn’t it because of the petroleum fumes and all that are disturbing? That can’t help it. The things are going around so bad.
06:54 So depict them physically. The God of this world, Satan is releasing all these poisons through the petroleum and mimicking all the estrogen. And young girls way before 6, 7, all having puberty already.
07:08 Why? Because of fumes. So the whole world being destroyed by Satan now. So here, priority one first is seek the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
07:22 The fruit. You say fruit, not fruit, sorry, fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is all that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
07:32 I’ve narrated a section before. Please search it in the Power of Christ daily from the from the site graceoflife.com and you’ll see you can find one. Ask the moderators explaining.
07:47 It’s a fruit. One fruit. Having all these things inside there now.
07:51 Brothers and sisters, 2nd Corinthians 11:2. I feel a divine jealousy for you. I’m reading the category here.
08:00 For I promised you in marriage to one husband to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. Holy. Chaste virgin describes this holy without blemish, without spot.
08:10 These things come first before you start running to cover the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These things come first Bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit first and again to remember that our body is a temple of God. For instance, Romans 12:1 2.
08:25 I appeal to you, therefore. Catholic edition. I appeal to you, therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, by to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
08:38 Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable, perfect will of God for you. Now, brothers and sisters, we must understand the
fundamentals. First.
08:53 When Jesus bought us with his own blood, bought me with his own blood, he expects me to present my body as a living sacrifice. How? As a chaste virgin unto Christ, without blemish, holy, spotless. He has put me in the presence.
09:10 Why? That’s why Apostle Paul is saying he wishes to present earth as a living sacrifice. He wants to present us by the mercies of God. Now he said, appeal to you, therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a
living sacrifice.
09:27 We are supposed to present our bodies as living sacrifice. Now, can you imagine having all kinds of sins? We don’t overcome that. Because by the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of Jesus Christ, we can overcome.
09:39 That’s why he bought and gave us the power. We don’t want to do any of that. I want the gifts of God.
09:42 I want the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I want a word of wisdom.
09:46 I want a working of miracles. I want a wonder, working faith. I want extraordinary gifts of healing.
09:52 Wrong. Absolutely wrong. Go and desire first to present your bodies as a chaste version to Christ, as living sacrifice, which is your spiritual worship.
10:03 That’s the first act of worship. Because God said, what? I am in spirit. I am a spirit.
10:08 I am spirit. Worship means spirit and in truth. So what we should do, we should have spiritual worship.
10:15 What is a spiritual worship? Clearly. Romans 12:1 2 is saying, present your bodies as a living sacrifice, which is holy and acceptable to God. Only.
10:24 Then. And he said, do not be conformed with this world. Do not be changed by the world.
10:29 Do not follow the world, do not be overtaken by the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern what is the will of God. You want to know the will of God? First you must be not conformed to this world. And then you
must be transformed by the renewing of your minds and how do you transform? By the renewing of your minds, by meditating on the word of God.
10:51 For that particular issue, let us say it’s anger or whatever you are having. You have to take the scriptures against anger, the consequences of anger. Anger.
11:00 If you’re angry at the brother without cause, you are a murderer. God said, now do not let the anger go. Don’t let the sun go down on anger.
11:08 Before you go to sleep, get rid of the anger. Why? Anger is the spirit. While your body is sleeping, the spirit of anger is whacking your spirit man.
11:15 Whole night long. Diseases will come, morning, you’re not rested. You’ve got all kinds of issues.
11:20 Now remember this. So therefore, first act is to present our bodies as a chaste virgin to Christ. In this case, as a living sacrifice.
11:31 Holy and acceptable living sacrifice. Spiritual worship. We have to do that first, focus on that, and then at the same time.
11:39 How do we get that? To get the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. All this is Galatians 5, 22, 23. Now we have to desire this verse, desire this verse.
11:55 And then we begin to present this. We want to make Jesus pleased. We want to bless the Lord Jesus.
11:57 We want to make him joyful because of the sacrifice. Such a terrible suffering he went through. Now we say, lord Jesus, I want to make you joyful.
12:12 My spiritual worship is this keeping my temple of God holy. Therefore another scripture will say, do you not know that you are the temple of God? And anyone defiling the temple of God will be destroyed. God says, the temple of God is our body.
12:28 He said, I will not live in a building made of hands, but I will live in the only. That means I live in the building not made of hands. The only thing not made of hands, as a building, as a home, is our bodies.
12:41 He wants to live in our bodies. He’s not going to live in a building. So sometimes they say, I’m building a big building for God to live in this building.
12:49 Not through. Not through. He will live only in our building.
12:53 That’s our body that he made. Now we can make a big building. He’s not going to be there, first of all, until your temple of God.
13:00 He’s going to live only in the temple of God. If everybody who is following Christ comes to the building, then of course he comes. Two or three are gathered in his name.
13:09 But the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, is in us, in our bodies. So we must present our bodies as a living sacrifice. Which is a spiritual worship.
13:20 But when you present our body as a living sacrifice, of course you must have the fruit of the spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. We have to desire this.
13:33 We begin to desire this. Therefore, always the problem is very easy for our flesh to get into the act when somebody comes and preaches. Desire covered the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
13:45 Everybody running around, but they completely forget they have seen. They will be arguing, there will be quarreling, unforgiveness will be there, there’ll be no peace really. But all this.
13:55 But they’re all chasing and all chasing every day. And everybody, oh, no peace, no oneness, no one accord. Quarreling in the church and then kama doing repeatedly sins.
14:10 Those who are practicing sin, Jesus Christ’s word is clear. You’re not born of God, you’re born of the devil. They’re practicing sin on and on.
14:17 And they’re desiring the gifts of the Holy Spirit instead of desiring the fruit of the spirit. Brothers and sisters, today let’s take this as a warning. We must desire the fruit of the spirit.
14:28 Now further, having said that and remember, our body is the temple of God and anyone defiling the temple will be destroyed. The word is clear now. When we come to the Lord Jesus Christ, we are required to present our bodies as a living sacrifice.
14:42 And that is a spiritual worship. And that is done by not being conformed to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God. If you do not be renewed in the spirit of your mind, you
will not know the will of God for you.
15:00 So therefore, brothers and sisters, today start seeking scriptures. In fact, I think there are almost 250. I think it’s 250.
15:08 I think 250 recordings of this daily morning recording so many. I’m actually shocked and amazed at the same time. And I’m so grateful to Jesus Christ to make me do this.
15:21 Because when I get up, I may not have a message. I don’t know what it is. But then it comes and I have to go and search for the scriptures and plug it sometimes, sometimes I get it in the night, the scriptures.
15:31 Then I can make the email first so it makes easier. But sometimes, like today, yesterday was a long day and difficult day. So we are tired.
15:42 So then I couldn’t do it in the night. So I came this morning asking Jesus what. So he told me this.
15:47 So I had to. So today I got to find something by mercy of Jesus Christ. Can still do this.
15:52 And then I got all this. Ready? Now I’m recording. Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
15:57 Brothers and sisters, now there’s another thing that I need to conclude. As the Lord lives, but earnestly desire and strive for the greater gift, Acquiring them is going to be a goal. Okay? So he’s saying that desire for the greater gift, the gifts
of the Spirit.
16:22 And yet he says, Apostle Paul says in Corinthians 1, 1231. And yet he said, literally, he covered the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And yet I will show you a still more excellent way.
16:36 This is very important, brothers and sisters. Remember the First Corinthians 12:31, Apostle Paul telling us, yes, after presenting ourselves as a chaste virgin to Christ in spiritual worship, in living sacrifice, and acquiring the fruit of the
Spirit, of desiring the fruit of the Spirit, he’s now telling us, yes, now desire the gifts of the Spirit. But yet I’ll show you a more excellent way, which is love.
17:04 Without love, I am nothing. He said, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
