Gifts of The Spirit

12/13/04 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For a Brother in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

"For indeed, there are many gifts of The Spirit which I bestow upon all those who love Me, many gifts given to those who are willing to give up everything and follow Me. Thus Timothy is just one among many who hear My voice, one voice in a great chorus growing ever louder, of the number I am sending.Yet to him did I say, “Write that which I speak, and place it in a book ”; also commanding him to share that which The Spirit causes him to understand. For the latter is that which My people call inspired of God or inspired in The Spirit; and the former, that which the prophets hear, the voice of The Living God."

~

"Therefore take My words to heart, and understand: Any man who shares My Word with others is My servant. And any man who hears My voice, in whose hand I have placed the Trumpet, is My prophet. Even all those I send are My apostles. And any who heed these words, and also do them, shall be called a friend of God."

3/15/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord: Little flock, how is it you say within yourselves the way of The Lord is not equal? How is it you feel as though upon this servant I have poured a bounty, yet you remain desolate?
Beloved ones, by whose power were you called forth into existence? To whose joy were you created? By whose favor were you born into this world by way of water and blood? Therefore, again I say to you, who you choose is everything. For I do not withhold My love, yet on account of your flesh you do always step backward.
Consider the woman who touched My robes and was made whole. Tell Me, how is it that she received and you do not? Was she so highly favored, that she should receive and you should not? Beloved, come close and walk beside Me, for you are indeed highly favored! And all who grab hold of Me shall surely share in all that is Mine.
Little flock, My ways are equal, yet the ways of My people remain unequal. For I have indeed poured out My life for you, yet each one must decide how deeply they drink. Do you not see? My blessings are equal for all who receive of My blessings, and My grace sufficient for all who trust in Me.
Thus among those who come to Me, one is not favored over another, nor is My love bestowed by measure. Rather it is you who receive by measure, resisting on account of all these deceitful weights, trust which remains altogether lacking.
Therefore do not confuse My love with the calling I have purposed for another, nor compare the gifts of the Spirit with The Blessing. For those I have called to serve shall indeed be given gifts, each in accordance with their faith and My will. And those who receive the greater gifts shall also bear the greater burden, even in the heat of the Day.

Therefore, again I say to you,
The Lord’s ways are indeed equal,
Yet the ways of men remain unequal...

Yet those who grab hold of their First Love
With all their heart, with all their mind,
With all their strength and with all their soul,
Shall never go hungry, nor shall they thirst anymore;
Nor shall the heat of the noonday
Sun do them any harm...

Yea, even all their tears shall be wiped away
In the house of The Lord.

Spiritual Gifts Cannot Be Claimed or Assigned

4/29/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
(Regarding Self-Appointed Apostles, Prophets and Teachers)

"Thus says The Lord: Is My Word in need of confirmation by those who say they know Me, yet do not really know Me? Is the Word of My mouth subject to men, whose understanding remains altogether lacking, whose knowledge is corrupt and whose power is of no use at all? Shall My words be made subject to the approval of any self-appointed apostle, prophet or teacher? Shall flesh usurp the things of God? Can mortal man ascend above the throne of The Eternal? Shall the created rule over The Creator, or the corrupt sit as judge over The Holy? Shall any attempt to occupy My throne and not be cast down?!
For I tell you the truth, ALL flesh shall be humbled in the Day of The Lord; the whole world shall be bowed down! For all creation is subject to The Word of God, every living creature is put into subjection to The Almighty! Nothing in the earth beneath, or in the heavens above, shall usurp the will of The Most High!
Therefore, I ask you, do My servants seek glory for themselves? Have they so highly esteemed themselves, as to name themselves according to the gift? Are they so skilled in knowledge and cleverness of speech, that they may now appoint themselves to a certain office, without first being called? The gift is Mine! And I bestow it upon whomever I wish, whenever I choose!
For I call My servants out from among them, I appoint every office, and I Myself number their steps before them. For My gifts are given through The Spirit, and must also be received in Me. They are in no wise open to claim, nor shall anyone on earth assign them. For only those in union with The Messiah are able to walk in them.

Thus the highly esteemed shall be abandoned,
And the self-appointed severely abased...

Left to walk through the valley in the
Great and Terrible Day of The Lord,
Until death comes to claim them...

Declares The Lord."

Warning for Those Who Mistreat Spiritual Gifts

8/20/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord against every church of men, against all those who falsely call of themselves by My name: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me; they have altogether forsaken Me for their own way!... Foolish and disobedient children!
They refuse to listen, for by their own hearts are they led. Yes, they follow the dictates of their own hearts, and give heed to their own self-serving desires; to their own voices they give heed. They listen only to the sound of their own voices!... Therefore, all I have spoken against them shall surely come upon them.

My children are foolish and have
Gone astray, with no one to lead them!...

They have released their grasp
And hold fast to one another;
They are married to their own expectations!
They know not how to discern
Their right hand from their left...

Therefore, all I have spoken against them
Shall surely come upon them.

I had called them to be blameless in the world and to be at peace, to do justly and love mercy, to walk humbly with their God. Yet they could by no means sit still, nor were they at ease. Rather they have gone out polluting My name and desecrating My words in Scripture! For they have hated both Me and My will, and in their hearts My prophet has altogether become as Micaiah, who was hated by the king for speaking the Truth as he heard from God![1]... Therefore, all I have spoken against them shall surely come upon them.

Behold, they walk in the valley
Of their own choosing, and have rejected
That which I, Myself, had provided for them!...

And one who mistreats My gifts shall
By no means retain them...

And that which is given shall not be owned,
As though one had received it by their own power;
Rather it is to be cherished, with thanksgiving...

And one who takes and corrupts My gifts,
For their own gain, shall be left desolate.
