Subject: Do we need to ask for "gifts" ? |
Bible Note: Love is eternal because God is love and god is eternal and we are in God so we are eternal in love. The gifts are for the work of God by the Holy Spirit through believers to provide the supernatural deliverance needed to overcome our enemy Satan and to demonstrate to the world the love of God. God's love provided the gifts and God's love must be present for the gifts to operate and they are temporal because whe Christ comes and Satan is bound, there wil be no need for them. There wil be no sickness, there will be no demons to discern, we will not need prophesy because God will speak to us directly...face to face... But as long as our enemy is loose, we need the supernatural working of the Holy spirit through the gifts and the Word of God to walk in the liberty He provided. He is a supernatural being and must be dealt with accordingly. God bless |
