Your Part in the Body of Christ

Tell Me How! (Part one)

Prophetic Teaching #4, 2017 & Beyond

I wrote this statement in Prophetic Teaching #3, “What I am about to say is two fold. One, God wants a revival that Americans have never seen before nor have ever experienced, and two, God wants to help our leadership to stop and resist what Satan is planning for America and Israel.” But you ask me how can God do this? What is my part in all of this?

The Church lost two things after the ‘early rain’ but now the Spirit of God has made manifest in these last days (latter rain) regarding the Gifts of Wisdom and Faith.

There has been confusion and miscommunication as to what the Gifts of Wisdom and Faith are meant to do and how they operate. Do not confuse ‘believing’ or ‘hoping’ or ‘understanding’ with either of these gifts. God is complex and so elaborate that He offers so many avenues for all of us to serve and please Him. He does this because we all are ‘parts of the Body of Christ’. We are made complete by being connected to each other and Christ as our headship. Do over simplify the greatness of God or allow reasonable philosophies to dictate what the Spirit of God is doing or about to do in these last days.

Wisdom is meant to be a guide and a protector. Its primary role is to identify what the Will of God is, even though it does many things for the believer and it is very diverse in operation. Wisdom has many jobs; the Book of Proverbs explains this.

Faith is simply ‘your response to the will of God’. How one responds to the will of God is so personally critical and time sensitive that often we do not receive the will of God. Do not let someone tell you, ‘you do not have enough faith or something is wrong in your life’ so God cannot help you. Nothing is farther from the truth. How you respond to God and to what extent you reply to Him is what faith is all about.

There is a reason why the Book of James says, “Strive for the faith that was once given to the saints.” Who gives this kind of faith James writes about…is it the Holy Spirit? Also, why does one need the Gift of Faith if there are Gifts of Healing and Miracles? Why is the Gift of Faith needed, if we have the Gifts of Knowledge and Prophecy in operation?

I can tell you with a great deal of confidence and truthfulness that the Gifts of the Spirit are to work in concert with each other and assist each other. They are not meant to be solo-operations. Also, do not think that you can get the Gift of Faith to work well without the Gift of Wisdom. It just will not happen and that is why the Church in these last days has been stumbling. Not all the gifts of the Spirit are in operation nor have they made level ground for all of us to run. God wants us to run and run well!

If I would give you advice on how to run with God, I would tell you to walk first. Trust that God will increase your faith every time you respond to something, anything He asks of you—even the smallest or simplest task. Every time you respond to what God asks of you, He calls you a person of faith.

Furthermore, every time you realize the difference between something that is evil (Satan’s will) and what is good (God’s will), God calls you wise. God builds on each piece of wisdom you find in Him. Before long you will be thought of as a wise person.

We will never have God’s revival unless the Gifts of Wisdom and Faith are once again in manifestation as they were in the beginnings of the early church, and America will not be able to succeed in doing God’s will in the world unless these two gifts are directing leaders.

Church, awake from the sleep you have found yourself in! The Lord has spoken again, “Arise and shine by letting wisdom and faith be your guide and response to everything around you.”
