ISAIAH 8:18

Isa 8:18  Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of Hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion. 

We are the sons and daughters of Omnipotence and Omniscience, as well as of Infinite Holiness and Endless Life

The off-spring of a bird displays every bird-like faculty and characteristic. The moment they are born they are miniature copies of their parents. They eat, breathe, move, think, like a bird. There comes a time when, like a bird, they spread tentative wings and take to the air. The son of a bird can fly! It can also sing

We as son’s and daughters of God living in community are called and made by God’s design to be naturally supernatural as this is our nature.

We called to move beyond the natural into the supernatural.

(2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 3:2.)

2Pe 1:4  by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 

1Jn 3:2  Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 

Some context to the gifts of the Spirit.

Paul was talking to a church in Corinthian church on HOW to function in the supernatural as a body.

1 Cor 12:7-12

There are 9 gifts of the Spirit.

3 Know something

3 Say something

3 Do something.

All 9 gifts are the Holy Spirit .

THE PURPOSE OF THESE GIFTS.

1Co 12:7  ........ the Spirit to our profit.

Profit means, better of, at advantage.

Be better.

1Co 14:3  But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up, and exhortation, and comfort. 

1Co 14:25  And so the secrets of his heart become revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you. 

Believers are encouraged, edified , strengthened, built up, and the reflect and reveal Jesus.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL ROLE TO THEM.

Desire them

Pray for them in faith.

Grow your faith around the gifts.

LET’S LOOK AT WORD’S OF KNOWLEDGE.

.......to another the word of knowledge. 1 Cor. 12:8.

WHAT IS IT.

Simple definition

It is a supernatural impartation of information that is inaccessible by natural human means. The information can be about a person or situation, past or present.

A deeper definition.

The Word of Knowledge is the supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit of certain facts in the mind of God. God keeps ever before Him in the storehouse of His mind all the facts of heaven and earth. He knows every person, place and thing in existence, and He is conscious of them all at the same time. It is not that He merely recalls them: that would be Memory. It is that He has them ever before Him: that is Knowledge. The Word of Knowledge is the revelation to man by His Spirit of some detail of that All-Knowledge. The revelation, perhaps, of the existence, condition or whereabouts of some person or object or place, of the location or occasion of some event. It is not the gift of knowledge but the Word of Knowledge—more exactly a Word of Knowledge
