A nameless Man of God, (MOG), Only mentioned in one chapter of the Bible is our subject today. He appeared in 1 Kings 13.
God sent him from the tribe of Judah to speak with the King of Israel, Jeroboam: whose name means “he that opposes the people. ” or one who leads his people to sin. Continue reading
Romans 10:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
This Scripture is the cornerstone of our Salvation. We believe Jesus was a virgin born, God/man, who lived a sinless life. Died on a cross for our sins, buried and three days later rose from the dead. Is in heaven now at the right hand of the Father. Through Jesus the Father finds us guiltless and sons of God.
It is no wonder the non-believers think we have a few screws loose. After all didn’t Paul himself tel Continue reading
In this section, I will be giving a lot of scriptures. …
For to one is given by the Spirit discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.
For the best example of discerning of Spirits, we need to look at King Saul. ..
He couldn’t decern but those around him could.

We think of the parable of the talents as being a financial (responsible with God’s money) or physical talent, (play piano, sing for the Lord). I have come to a radical conclusion. Continue reading
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
For to one is given by the Spirit, prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
prophecy:
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
The gifts where we speak; Lord help me are the scariest gifts to work. Perhaps it is a lack of faith on my part. I love to preach the Word of God, share the promises o f God but jump out there to say thus says the Lord; interpret tongues.
I just don’t think the Spirit has annointed me in this area. I am more than confident to proclaim the truth of His written word but the other is a limb that scares me.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
We are naturally ignorant of other languages, higher math skills, sports or any particular subject, that doesn’t mean that we are stupid. All it means is we are not knowledgeable in that area.
After all, we cannot be expected to know what we haven’t experienced or been taught. The Apostle is encouraging us to learn about and walk in the light of the Spirit. Our natu Continue reading
“Ignorance is bliss” How often have we heard and at times believed this? In truth ignorance robs us of many blessings.
