I would like to begin this chapter with a short review. For most, 1 Corinthians 12 is difficult because of how it has been queried throughout the years. I learned its great truths some 45 years ago. I am still amazed at the ignorance that still lingers in the holy spirit field, especially considering communication […]

We’ve spent a lot of time addressing the need for ‘a word of prophecy’ in the church. God has provided specific instructions for how to use this wonderful manifestation.

We are studying the subject of the usage of the manifestations of holy spirit, beginning with speaking in tongues with interpretation.

Christians have been fooled for ages.     (1 Cor 12:1 KJV) Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Greek New Testament translators saw fit to ignore the proper meaning of pneumatikos, from which ‘spiritual gifts’ comes. One small word, gifts, has queried the minds of well meaning believers and prevented them […]

Regarding the agape characteristics, the question was, “what is kind?” Honestly, I couldn’t answer it. And, neither could a single soul I asked. I ask you, what is kind?

1 Cor 12:8 KJV Starting with verse eight, we will study the in depth accuracy of the word ‘another.’ ‘Another’ comes from one of two Greek words: allos or heteros. Allos means ‘another when two or more of the same kind are involved.’ Heteros means ‘another when only two are involved.’ In this case, the […]

As regards the manifestations of holy spirit, there are only three Bible chapters that completely detail their usage and the operation. Yet, these three chapters primarily discuss the first three manifestations. Most people have arrested a single chapter from these three chapters, but all three chapters comprise a complete set. If we pull out one, […]

The Fifth Record of speaking in tongues takes place in Acts 19 where we will be introduced to Apollos, the golden tongued orator, and Acquilla and Pricilla.

BWACE – Bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking are to be put far away from each Christian’s behavior. Knowing  what BWACE is and how to put these far away will allow each of us greater responsibility for our behavior.
