RULING AND REIGNING\r\nWITH GOD<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Part 1<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

July 31, 2020<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Years ago during the Charismatic Renewal there was a considerable\r\namount of teaching on the Kingdom of God -- and specifically dealing with the\r\nKeys of the Kingdom and accessing the Authority that is available to\r\nbelievers.\u00a0 I suppose I've somewhat grown up with some understanding of\r\nthis truth, but earlier this year the Holy Spirit began to download on me a new\r\ndimension of understanding that has been changing the scope of my prayer life\r\nand causing me to go back through my past years to deal with some issues\r\npreviously considered \"resolved.\"<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I thought I understood Authority \u2014 our using God\u2019s Authority \u2014\r\nbut Holy Spirit has been showing me some areas of understanding and application\r\nthat I\u2019ve been lacking. <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This is a rather large topic, so I'm breaking it down into\r\nseveral discussions.\u00a0 Today we'll lay down some fundamentals.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 16:13-19<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span><\/b>When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea\r\nPhilippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man\r\nam?<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And they said, Some say that thou art\r\nJohn the Baptist: some Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the\r\nprophets.\u00a0 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And Simon Peter answered and said,\r\nThou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.\u00a0 And Jesus answered and\r\nsaid unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not\r\nrevealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in Heaven.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And I say also unto thee, That thou\r\nart Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell\r\nshall not prevail against it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And I will give unto thee the keys of\r\nthe kingdom of heaven<\/span><\/u>: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on\r\nearth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall\r\nbe loosed in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Whenever\r\nwe read this phrase we think of \u201ckeys\u201d in a generic sense: something -- usually\r\na metal piece -- that locks or unlocks a door.\u00a0 In a metaphoric sense you\r\ncan picture what Jesus is saying within that context, but what Jesus is saying\r\nactually has much greater significance. \r\n<\/span>Let\u2019s see if we can re-phrase this more accurately according to the\r\nactual Greek:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 16:19<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span>\u201cAnd\r\nI will give you the authority and power to lock and unlock Heaven so that\r\nwhatever you bind, restrict or stop on earth shall be, having been already\r\nbound, restricted or stopped in Heaven.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

And whatever you break up, loose, dissolve or put off on earth\r\nshall be, having already been broken up, loosed, dissolved or put off in\r\nHeaven.\u201d <\/span>(RAC\r\nTranslation & Amplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Changes\r\nthe picture a whole lot, doesn\u2019t it? <\/span>So\r\nwhy did Jesus put it like that to Peter?\u00a0 Let\u2019s first put this in the\r\ncontext of the events that had just taken place and then get back to what\r\nstarted this exchange between Jesus and Peter in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew,\r\nby the way, is the only one among the four writers of the Gospels who notes\r\nthis exchange.\u00a0 It comes after the feeding of the five thousand. <\/span>A miracle of unusual proportions has just\r\noccurred. <\/span>Jesus has multiplied bread and\r\nfish out of five loaves of bread and two small fish to feed a crowd of\r\nsomewhere on the order of 30,000 people to the place where everyone is full and\r\nsatisfied. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

To\r\nget away from the crowds, Jesus has crossed over the Sea of Galilee with His\r\ndisciples. <\/span>Whatever time it took to\r\ncross the Sea of Galilee obviously was more than an hour or two and the\r\ndisciples had gotten hungry.\u00a0 A conversation ensues between the disciples\r\nwhen Jesus makes the statement to them, \u201cBeware of the leaven of the\r\nPharisees.\u201d\u00a0 They mistake His comment to them to be a reference to bread\r\nand say among themselves, \u201cHe\u2019s saying this to us because we forgot to bring\r\nany bread with us.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hmmmmm\u2026..\r\nmakes you wonder where their thoughts were!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nthey\u2019ve come into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi and Jesus has a\r\nquestion.\u00a0 \u201cWhom do men say that I as the Son\r\nof Man AM?\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The question is designed to bring the disciples to a confession\r\nthat will forever alter their lives.\u00a0 \u201cSome people say you are John the\r\nBaptist, some think you are Elijah and some think you are Jeremiah or one of\r\nthe prophets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

So Jesus puts it to them directly.\u00a0 \u201cBut who do YOU say\r\nthat I AM?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Simon Peter wastes no time in responding.\u00a0 \u201cYou are the\r\nMessiah, the Christ, the Anointed One, the Son of the Living God!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

There! <\/span>He\u2019d said it. <\/span>The confession had taken place and Jesus made\r\nit precisely clear where this statement had come from.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 16:16-19<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span>\u201cBlessed\r\nare you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you [this\r\ndidn\u2019t come out of carnal, human thinking]; this revelation came directly to\r\nyou from My Father which is in Heaven.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI declare to you that from this day your onoma has been\r\nchanged. <\/span>No longer are you Simon [the\r\none who hears] who is the son of Jona; you are Petros \u2013 a piece of the Rock\r\n(Petra) \u2013 and it is upon that rock (of which you are a part) that I will build\r\nmy Ekklesia \u2013 my called out and chosen and prepared body of people; <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAnd the gates of Hell [all the powers and governance of Hell]\r\nwill not ever overpower or prevail in battle against it [my Ekklesia].\u00a0\r\n\u201cAnd I will give you the authority and power to lock and unlock Heaven so what\r\nwhatever you bind, restrict or stop on earth shall be, having been already\r\nbound, restricted or stopped in Heaven.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAnd whatever you break up, loose, dissolve or put off on earth\r\nshall be, having already been broken up, loosed, dissolved or put off in\r\nHeaven.\u201d <\/span><\/span>(RAC Translation &\r\nAmplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Are you beginning to understand \u201cthe keys of the Kingdom?\u201d\u00a0\r\nThese keys are nothing more and nothing less than a true revelation of Jesus\r\nand Who He Is IN US!!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s see if we can summarize this picture a little more\r\nspecifically.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

1<\/span><\/b>. <\/span>Everything is\r\nrooted and grounded in the fact that Jesus is the Anointed One, the Son of the\r\nLiving God. <\/span>That is His <\/span>onoma<\/span><\/i><\/b>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

2. <\/span><\/b>For the keys of the Kingdom to work, the revelation of Jesus as\r\nthe Anointed One, the Son of the Living God, MUST come from the Father (and the\r\nFather gives that revelation to us by and through the Holy Spirit. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

(Simon went from being simply one who heard the Word to one who\r\nhad revelation break forth in his being. \r\n<\/span>That revelation changed him forever.) <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

3. <\/span><\/b>Upon the foundation of Jesus being the Anointed One, THE Son of\r\nthe Living God, the Ekklesia began to be built \u2013 and it is being built today! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

4.<\/span><\/b>Because the Ekklesia is built on THE ROCK, Christ Jesus, it\r\nis immovable and so grounded in Christ Jesus that the governing powers of Hell\r\ncan neither overpower nor move it from its place of absolute authority<\/b>. <\/span>(Note the similes that Jesus uses in His illustration.)\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

5.<\/span><\/b>With the foundation of Heaven\u2019s authority established in us\r\ncomes the ability, the authority and the power to lock up or unlock Heaven in\r\norder to bind or restrict, or break up and dissolve the powers of Hell on\r\nearth. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

6.<\/span><\/b>With that same authority comes the empowerment to enact the Will\r\nand divine purposes of God the Father \u2013 as well as His heart\u2019s desire \u2013 in the\r\nearth in the same way that it already exists in Heaven. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

7. <\/span><\/span><\/b>Put\r\nmore simply, this is the authority and power to lock up or unlock Heaven\u2019s\r\nresources \u2013 in accordance with the Father\u2019s Will \u2013 so that Earth once again\r\nbecomes a mirror image of Heaven. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\nWhat this means is that these \u201ckeys\u201d are substantive: they are\r\nnot metaphorical, and they are not imaginary.\u00a0 <\/span>A common\r\nmisconception is that these \u201ckeys\u201d are \u201cthe keys to<\/span><\/i> the Kingdom of Heaven\u201d instead of being the keys of<\/i><\/b>\r\nthe Kingdom of Heaven.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>These are not keys that open up doors for\r\nus in Heaven. <\/span>These are \u201ckeys\u201d of\r\nHeaven\u2019s authority, power and resources put\r\ninto our hands<\/span><\/i><\/b>! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

They are put into our hands because we are part of the Kingdom\r\nof Heaven. <\/span>We are a part of The\r\nEkklesia. <\/span>We are \u201ccalled and chosen and\r\nfaithful.\u201d\u00a0 Before we get too far along in this study, it is important to\r\ngo back once again and look at Jesus\u2019 particular phrasing as He speaks to\r\nPeter. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 16:18b-19: <\/span><\/u><\/b>\u201cIt\r\nis upon that rock (of which you are a part) that I will build my Ekklesia \u2013 my\r\ncalled out and chosen and prepared body of people; \u201cAnd the gates of Hell [all\r\nthe powers and governance of Hell] will not ever overpower or prevail in battle\r\nagainst it [my Ekklesia].\u00a0 \u201cAnd I will give you the authority and power<\/u>\u2026..\u201d <\/span><\/span>(RAC Translation &\r\nAmplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Do you see it? <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He didn\u2019t say, \u201cI have given you the authority and power\u201d; He\r\nsaid \u201cI will give...\u201d meaning that this was a process to unfold over a period\r\nfollowing the revelation of Jesus Christ in the believer. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I don\u2019t want to belabor this point, but once again, this is not\r\n\u2013 as Simon Barjona was \u2013 just one who hears (or has heard) the Word. <\/span>This is one who receives the revelation of\r\nJesus Christ from the Father \u2013 and that revelation can only come in His\r\npresence! <\/span>\u00a0\r\nThe apostle Paul clearly understood this and\r\nemphasized it as he wrote to the Ephesians. \r\n<\/span>He sums up this picture about as clearly as you could ever have it: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ephesians 1:15-23<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span><\/b>Wherefore\r\nI also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the\r\nsaints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory<\/u>,\r\nmay give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of\r\nhim<\/u>: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know\r\nwhat is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his\r\ninheritance in the saints<\/u>, <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who\r\nbelieve, according to the working of his mighty power<\/span><\/u>,\r\nWhich he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at\r\nhis own right hand in the heavenly places, <\/u><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,\r\nand every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is\r\nto come<\/span><\/u>: <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the\r\nhead over all things to the church<\/span><\/u>, Which is his\r\nbody, the fullness of him that filleth all in all<\/u>. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\ndo you see it? <\/span>Are you seeing the\r\npattern of Matthew 16 here?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Take\r\nanother look. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

1.<\/span><\/b>The\r\n\u201cFather of Glory\u201d releases the revelation of Jesus Christ through and by the\r\nSpirit of Wisdom and Revelation. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

2.<\/span><\/b>That\r\nrevelation first brings us an understanding of Jesus\u2019 calling \u2014 that His\r\ncalling is IN US. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

3.<\/span><\/b>The\r\nnext part of the revelation is to grasp the full perspective of the wealth (ploutos<\/span><\/i>) and stupendous glory are in His\r\ninheritance IN US. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\n4.<\/span><\/b>The\r\nfull revelation of Jesus Christ MUST incorporate the unfathomable (huperballo<\/span><\/i>) greatness of Father\u2019s power to\r\nthose of us who believe. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\n5.<\/span><\/b>Along\r\nwith that comes our understanding that this is the same resurrection power that\r\nraised Christ from the dead! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

6. <\/span><\/span><\/b>But the revelation\r\ncontinues. <\/span>Now it encompasses the very\r\nfact that Jesus has been seated at the right hand of Father. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

7.<\/span><\/b>With\r\nthat seating and placement in and with the Father comes absolute authority over\r\nevery name, every power, every dominion, every ruler of darkness and every\r\neffort of Satan \u2014 whether that effort is exercised here on earth, in the\r\nheavenlies, or in Hell (Hades) itself. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

8.<\/span><\/b>But\r\nthere\u2019s more. <\/span>Jesus\u2019 authority and power\r\nextend beyond time and this world\u2019s realm to the future and to eternity. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

9.<\/span><\/b>All\r\nthings, all events, all spiritual forces \u2014 angelic or demonic \u2014 have been\r\nplaced under Jesus\u2019 feet and, by virtue of the fact that we are the body of\r\nChrist, under our feet; so much so that Father has given us the responsibility\r\nof working together with Him and through Jesus Christ to subdue all things and\r\nbring them under His authority. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

10.<\/span><\/b>The\r\nfinal revelation of Jesus Christ is that we are His body \u2014 that we complete Him. <\/span>He is the Head. <\/span>All commands come from Him. <\/span>Without His instruction, we do nothing, but\r\nwith His instruction and commands, there is absolutely nothing impossible to\r\nus, and nothing withheld in any way, shape for form. <\/span>We are the body, the arms, the legs, the feet\r\nof the Lord Jesus Christ! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With\r\nthat revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from the Father, we now understand our\r\nposition. <\/span>We now understand His\r\nposition! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This\r\nis the essence of the revelation that Peter received! <\/span>Maybe I should say that this is where the\r\nrevelation of Jesus began in Peter. \r\n<\/span>Because the Day of Pentecost had not yet arrived and Peter was not yet\r\nfilled with the Spirit, much of what He saw would not be understood or realized\r\nuntil that day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Peter\r\nsaw Jesus first as the Anointed One \u2013 The One in whom the Holy Spirit rested,\r\nThe One with the empowerment of Heaven dwelling in Him.\u00a0 He saw (though he\r\ndidn\u2019t fully understand at the time) the greatness and richness of the\r\nanointing of the Anointed One in us and toward us. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Peter\r\nwould not yet have the revelation of the power of the resurrection \u2013 not until\r\nthe Day of Pentecost \u2013 but when He had been baptized with the Holy Spirit, it\r\nwould so explode in his being that in one day, he would see 3000 people accept\r\nand acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Anointed One; and the One Who\r\nhad paid the price for their redemption from the curse of the Law and the curse\r\nof death. <\/span>That same anointing that\r\nbrought the revelation in Peter of who Jesus really was would flow from his\r\nlips as he preached Jesus to the multitudes. With the empowerment and anointing\r\nof Holy Spirit, Peter was now able to preach with Jesus\u2019 authority working in\r\nand through him!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The revelation of Jesus \u2013 as it is made available to us today \u2013\r\nincludes the revelation of the power of the resurrection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of being seated with Jesus in Heavenly\r\nplaces.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nis the revelation that Jesus\u2019 onoma<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\u2013 operating in us and with us as Jesus\u2019 heirs and joint-heirs \u2013 exceeds and\r\nsits above in authority and power every name, every onoma<\/span><\/b>, every character and personality and every being \u2013\r\nwhether in earth or in Heaven or under the earth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of authority and power over death, disease\r\nand destruction. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of the purposes of God the Father, God the\r\nSon, and God the Holy Spirit, made in absolute agreement and harmony with one\r\nanother before the very first words of Creation were uttered. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of the Family of God in Heaven and Earth. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nis the revelation of agape<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u2014 Father\u2019s Love \u2014 a dimension of love that exceeds the\r\nnatural understanding of man. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of the power of Creation. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It is the revelation of God\u2019s Glory. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

THAT,\r\nfolks, is the authority and power to lock up and unlock Heaven\u2019s authority,\r\npower and resources as God the Father commands<\/span><\/u> here on earth. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ephesians\r\n3:14-19: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>For\r\nthis cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the\r\nwhole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according\r\nto the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the\r\ninner man; <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being\r\nrooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is\r\nthe breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ,\r\nwhich passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nRevelation of Jesus Christ is the release of that authority and power; and that\r\nauthority and power are \u201cthe keys of the Kingdom of Heaven!\u201d <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAs I noted at the beginning of today\u2019s\r\ndiscussion, I used to think I really understood the Keys of the Kingdom, but as\r\nrevelation from the Holy Spirit has continued to unfold, I've come to realize\r\nthat most Christians really don't have the foggiest concept of what the\r\nauthority and power of the Lord Jesus Christ operating in us is really for.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\r\nwill get into this a whole lot more in the weeks to come, but the Revelation of\r\nJesus Christ is a revelation of agape<\/i><\/b>. <\/span>It is our destiny and purpose in <\/span>Jesus to demonstrate by the exercise of\r\nKingdom authority and power, the love of the Lord to this world. <\/span>If you stop and think about the various Gifts\r\nof the Spirit, you will remember that have been given as demonstrations of\r\nGod\u2019s love in order to bring healing, deliverance, health, strength, wholeness\r\nin every area of life \u2014 including mental, emotional and physical, and full\r\nprosperity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nGifts of the Spirit are designed to manifest the character and nature of the\r\nLord Jesus Christ, and by their operation, to win the lost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Perhaps\r\nwe will get into an in-depth discussion of the operation of the Gifts in the\r\nweeks to come, but my plan for next week is to deal with the doubt and unbelief\r\nthat plagues most believers when it comes to knowing the Will of God and the\r\ntiming of everything we do and say in the performance of Kingdom agape<\/span><\/i><\/b>! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

See you next week.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
