Look! When You Reach Out!
(Matthew 8:1, Luke 12:42, 1 Corinthians 14:9 Haggai 1:7, Galatians 5:16, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Luke 12:12, Colossians 4:8, 4:5, 3:7, 4:6, 2 Corinthians 10:7, 10, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, 1 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Corinthians 10:7, 10, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, 1 Thessalonians 2:9, Philippians 2:5, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 2, Corinthians 9:7, 1 Corinthians 14:16, 1 Corinthians 14:8, Philippians 4:8, Philippians 4:9) (Added. Philippians 2:2-3, Galatians 2:6)
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him and the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! I say then: Walk in the Spirit, Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” I am sending him to you for this very purpose, Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. In which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Do you look at things according to the outward appearance?
If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we are Christ’s.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.
Do not quench the Spirit. For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself for God loves a cheerful giver that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand?
For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Let him who has ears listen…
Selah!!
But from those who seemed to be something—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man—for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.
ps. Let the ignorant be ignorant.
(1Corin: 14:38)
Mercy, Peace, and love be multiplied to you.
