Gifts of the Spirit
Gift of Prophecy- Seeing in the Spirit
Many people today are living in the sense realm. Just as Christ is, so are we in this world.
Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely holy.
And may your ENTIRE BEING —SPIRIT , SOUL , and BODY —be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:23 TPT
Understand spirit soul and body. We are 3 parts being. We have a spirit. The moment a life is conceived there is spirit.
Intuition is the breath of God
Spirit will not disappear after physical death
This spirit is the one that contact God
When Adam disobey God, he lost his contact with God. But he did not lose his relationship with God
Genesis 2:17
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
God said the consequences of eating the knowledge of good and evil
In dying you shall die. – the spirit die first. (Adam did not die on the spot) to the Lord 1 day is 1000 years. So Adam did not cross 1000 years. The spirit man died and there was no fellowship with God. The physical man continued
Everyone born into this earth, the candle is gone. Until they receive Jesus they are born again.
Born again means born from above
We are all born from heaven.
We are so physical minded that we think our birth is only physical one.
Born again is for us to start the spiritual life
The moment we understand spirit soul and body, we can now live in spirit
Our spirit man is stronger and we make decision from the spirit and not from soul or body.
Everyday we make decision based on feeling.
We make decision based on how we feel and this is the sense realm.
The body has these 5 senses, the spirit also has!
See in the spirit and hear in the spirit. Taste, feel
Voice of spirit
Flesh
Mind
You have 5 senses –
Soul consist of 3 things
Mind, will and emotion
Adam was given a will – which is free choice
We choose all by faith and grace
Soul is the mind the will and the emotion
However we feel in the natural realm
Is the result of what we think
The real problem is in the mind
The righteousness of God
Agape ℓσνє has been given
New creation
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
We are rich in Christ
First from the spirit
When we catch in the spirit, it manifest
Our redemption result in our identity
Spirit man comes first
Not the senses or the body
The information you collected confirm you have migraines, this is the mind.
So where is the spirit now?
The spirit said it is written
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Which one we confess is which one we believe in.
We are either ruled by spirit soul or body
You conclude based on your soul and body
But the spirit when we have the revelation, we are ruled by what the Lord said; we are healed.
We don’t have to live in controlled senses.
In Christ we are already healed.
This is the conclusion. Claim the healing by faith
Unmerited. It is always by grace. Unmerited. We don’t deserve it
Meditation and confession
When you are feeding your spirit man you are also renewing your mind
The truth is you are healed
What is not visible is eternal
ℓσνє of God cause us to repent
Surrender whatever not right and bring to Him
In the eyes of God we are the righteousness of God in Christ
First we need to know our sins are forgiven
Than we have the power to overcome sin
Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Power comes when we look at what the word of God said
The power to overcome sin and overcome the flesh come onto us
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
They need to know they did not join a religion. They become children of God
Let the spirit rule over you
See and hear
I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of WISDOM and the Spirit of REVELATION to KNOW HIM through your deepening intimacy with him.
Ephesians 1:17 TPT
The seeing is the spirit eyes
What to see in the spirit and prophesy ?
Before we can speak prophesy, we first need to know this. The word of wisdom and knowledge
U cannot prophesied what you don’t understand
The spirit of wisdom in the Greek is sof-ee’-ah
Spirit of wisdom first come to us as children of God
Than only we can move into the gifts
Revelation in the areas of health and healing.
I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of WISDOM and the Spirit of REVELATION to KNOW HIM through your deepening intimacy with him.
Ephesians 1:17 TPT
The eyes that receive the revelation of truth from God is the imagination part of our being.
Know behind gifts is about knowing Him
Knowing the hope of your calling
We don’t prophesy we don’t see hope
The hope of our calling is what we need to know
God calls the people to become His children
To reflect the glory of God
The riches of your inheritance in Christ
Riches – ploo’-tos
Thayer Definition:
RICHES , WEALTH
ABUNDANCE of external possessions
FULNESS , abundance, PLENITUDE
a GOOD , i.e. that with which one is enriched
It always come from what we believe and in our hearts
Our hearts filled with His wealth
If your heart is not filled with that wealth, you will interpret everything wrongly
The power of the holy spirit is greater
Speak with confident because this is what God has given
I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power

Why look to death when there is life

Deuteronomy 4:1-2 NKJV
Right from the beginning God told us not to add or subtract

Eve was deceived. Adam was made accountable

The thirst for knowledge and wisdom without God – the tree of knowledge of good and evil

Knowledge is power

We have Christ’s wisdom
Jesus will always make us look at Him
Guard your heart and mind, imagination
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

What is in your imagination?
Whatever you have is whatever come out of you
Whatever not beneficial and will affect your gift, cut it out

He is inside you

But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart.
It’s from the heart that we vomit up evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and cussing. That’s what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods, washing or not washing your hands—that’s neither here nor there.”
Matthew 15:16-20 MSG

For one who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to people but to God; for no one understands him or catches his meaning, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries [secret truths, hidden things].

God is always there to hold us and caught us even when we fall
When we got into the boat, the wind ceased.
We step out already, Holy Spirit will calm us and hold us.
