Fully Equipped
Recently, I was talking with my daughter who was telling me about the car that she wanted.
It was Ford Mustang convertible.
We talked about pricing for the car.
She had done some research and had a ballpark.
So I went online to the design center to see about the options she wanted.
We updated the trim, the rims, the seats they would be cooled and heated, custom interior lighting, by the time we had the perfect car I calculated the cost to give her what she wanted… this 30k car was not a 64k car.
The realization set in that this was way out of our budget… my daughter very matter of fact looked at me and said well dad, guess you’d better start saving or get another job.
She said this jokingly, as she turned and said dad whenever I can finally drive I will drive whatever we can afford.
I reflected on this for a moment, and thought of how I would love to give my children then best.
I began to think about how God has prepared the best for us.
I was struck with the unfortunate realization that many of us have settled for less than being fully equipped.
We have allowed ourselves to be the cheap model of the fully equipped version we have been made to be.
I know that much of this is a result of what we do not know.
Last week we talked about the work of the Holy Spirit… It is because of the Holy Spirit that we can accomplish what Christ has promised.
We are equipped by the Holy Spirit to accomplish God’s will.
Having waited for the Holy Spirit they are Baptized
The signs and wonders that are to occur because of the Holy Spirit
The early rain is exhibited in the 1st church the latter rain is now pouring out on His church
This empowerment of His church will bring Him Honor and Glory
We are equipped by the Holy Spirit to accomplish God’s will
Gifts of the Spirit
There is a difference between the gifts of the Spirit and the Fruits of the Spirit
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Wisdom
not just knowledge but the know how with the knowledge
Knowledge
The spirit searches the heart of God and reveals
Faith
Remember it is the HS that brings us to the points in which our faith is made stronger
Healing
Miracles
Prophecy
Discernment
Tongues
Interpretation of Tongues
Variety of Gifts
both in amount and measure
Varying service
difference for infilling and indwelling
Varying activities
These are given in a amount and measure according to the HS
We may have some of these or all of these to some measure
No jealousy because someone has one I do not or more than I do… they do not benefit me in the least if it does not serve God
What About Tongues?
In Acts several times we see a person baptized by the Holy Spirit and immediately they speak in tongues
Some have taken this to signify this to be evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit
Speaking in tongues is one of the 9 gifts…
we are to desire the spiritual gifts
They are gifts not something we should squabble over
Paul is not banning speaking in tongues he would rather if someone speaks in tongues there would be an interpreter
people just speaking in tongues to show off versus edification.
The priority for these gifts is to edify the church and build the kingdom
There is a precious gift speaking tongues
Unless we have an interpreter what profit does it do for the church… lets pray for the interpreter
Sword of the Spirit
One additional gift
Ephesians 6:17–18 (ESV)
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication...
Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God
This is our offensive tool
This sword allows us to
understand the things of God
we speak revelation
We teach
We interpret
A church that is empowered strives to see all who are part of the body fully equipped
Our prayer is to see each member operating in the gifts the Holy Spirit has deposited in each member that together we would build up the Kingdom.
