The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. Acts 3:19-21 (NKJV) Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. Joel 2:28-29 (NKJV) And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. Isaiah 60:2-3 (NKJV) For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. Review God wants to use believers in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. John 14:12-14 (NKJV) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! We have covered: *Spiritual gifts are a result of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. *Jesus was used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit during His ministry. *Jesus wants us to be used by the Holy Spirit the way He was used by Him! 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11 (NKJV) There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 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. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. There are three major classifications of spiritual gifts… Revelation Gifts – Reveal Something Word of Wisdom Word of Knowledge Discerning of Spirits Power Gifts – Do Something Gift of Faith Working of Miracles Gifts of Healings Utterance Gifts– Say something Gift of Prophecy Different Kinds of Tongues Interpretation of Tongues All are supernatural. They have no human or natural ability in them. Last time: The Word of Knowledge Definition The Word of Knowledge is the supernatural giving by the Holy Spirit of facts from God to man about people, places, or things in the past or present. God knows everything about everybody all at once. He knows every person, place or thing in existence, and He is conscious of them all at the same time. God is omniscient – All-knowing The Word of Wisdom Definition: The Word of Wisdom is the supernatural giving to people by the Holy Spirit of the Divine purpose in the mind of God concerning future events. The Word of Wisdom is not only expressed in foretelling future events, but also in the commands and instructions which God gives man which rises out of His knowledge of those future events. The Word of Knowledge is always revelation concerning the past or present. The Word of Wisdom always speaks of the future. What it is not: It is not the natural wisdom of man, which is the ability to apply knowledge. It is not the gift of wisdom. It’s the Word of Wisdom. It’s a brief glimpse into the future. It’s a glance into the realm of God’s future plans and purposes. How it is manifested: It may be manifested by angelic visitation, the audible voice of God, through a vision, a dream, by the gift of prophecy, or through tongues and interpretation. It often works together with the Word of Knowledge. (Acts 9:10-16) Examples: Used to guide people concerning coming judgment or harm. Genesis 6:13-7:22 – God gave Noah instructions about the coming flood. Genesis 6:13-22 (NLT) 13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for they have filled the earth with violence. Yes, I will wipe them all out along with the earth! 14 “Build a large boat from cypress wood and waterproof it with tar, inside and out. Then construct decks and stalls throughout its interior. 15 Make the boat 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 16 Leave an 18-inch opening below the roof all the way around the boat. Put the door on the side, and build three decks inside the boat—lower, middle, and upper. 17 “Look! I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die. 18 But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 19 Bring a pair of every kind of animal—a male and a female—into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood. 20 Pairs of every kind of bird, and every kind of animal, and every kind of small animal that scurries along the ground, will come to you to be kept alive. 21 And be sure to take on board enough food for your family and for all the animals.” 22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him. An angel told Lot of impending destruction. Genesis 19:12-13 (NKJV) Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city — take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” God told Moses what He would do to Pharaoh. Exodus 6:1-8 (NKJV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.” 2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the LORD. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD I was not known to them. 4 I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the LORD.’ ” Ananias sent to minister to Saul: verses 15-16 Acts 9: 10-16 (NKJV) 10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.” 13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.” Agabus told the church about a future drought. Acts 11:28-30 (NKJV) Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30 This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. Paul was warned of future danger: Acts 27:21-26 (NKJV) But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. 22 And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. 26 However, we must run aground on a certain island.” Personal comments: Me – 1993 – Already-existing Church – after praying in the spirit for a while Nefarious – 2020 October 6, 2019 Moses receiving the Law is the Word of Wisdom. Joseph’s dream is God giving Joseph through the Word of Wisdom a glimpse into his future life. Action points: Ask God for spiritual gifts to manifest. Ask to be used by the Holy Spirit where He desires. Ask for wisdom with ministering by the word of knowledge to a person.
