Application of the Perfect Redemption Plan 5

The Manifestations of the Holy Ghost

The gifts of the Spirit

Throughout the four gospels; when Jesus and his disciples were healing the sick, casting out devils, cleansing lepers and raising the dead; no mention was ever made of any gift of the Spirit. The commission Jesus gave us is: Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptised shall be saved; but he who does not believe shall be damned. And these signs shall follow those who believe; in My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:15-18). So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them (sunergeo: to be a fellow worker), and confirming the word with signs following. Amen (Mark 16:19-20).

Jesus did not talk about any gift of the Spirit; He said these signs shall follow those who believe. The faith problem is already sorted as we have established, that He has imputed His faith to us, and we have all received the measure of faith, and the same Spirit of faith. We need to believe it, we need to believe the Perfect Redemption Plan of God, we need to stay dead to sin and self, so that Jesus can fully live in us, and through us, thus continue His ministry of reconciliation through us (2Corinthians 5:18). The bible says that the Lord Jesus was working with them as a fellow worker; they surrendered their body, hands, feet, mouth, etc. to Jesus. Jesus was confirming His word that came out of their mouths, with signs following, because they believed the words of Jesus, and spoke them; Jesus confirmed His words with signs following. Paul also tells us that we are labourers together with God in his vineyard (1Corinthians 3:9).

If you do not turn to the left or to the right hand from the word of God, but speak it as it is stated in the bible, the Lord God watches over His word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). In Christ Jesus when you were baptized in the Holy Ghost, you also received power or fire, to have the manifestations of those mighty signs and wonders, Jesus performed (Acts 10:38). If we preach our own words, the Lord Jesus will not confirm them, but if we preach the incorruptible Word of God, Jesus will confirm His words with signs following. Since Jesus said these signs shall follow those who believe; let us take it literally and not add to it, or remove from it. He did not say: these signs shall follow those who have the gifts of the Spirit, or those who are apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists; but the only requirement is to believe. We, having the same Spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak (2Corinthians 4:13).

But what about the gifts of the Spirit Paul talked about to the Corinthian church? We have already established that in the Gospels, Jesus and his disciples did not mention any gift of the Spirit, and when Jesus gave us the commission, no mention of a gift of the Spirit was made, but only believe, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23). Jesus did not say, all things are possible to him who has gifts, or a gift of the Spirit, but to him who believes. The book of first Corinthians was written to carnal Christians, they were still babes in Christ, and did not know what things were, and how to use them, or how to operate in them, and Paul wrote to those carnal Christians and babes in Christ, what those things are and how they operate. Paul said to them: And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for to this time you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able. For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men (1Corinthians 3:1-3)?

So Paul told them they were still carnal, not spiritual, they were still babes in Christ, not mature, they were still being fed with milk, and not meat. Paul basically says the same thing to the Hebrews: we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing. For when the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again, which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one who uses milk, is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, or mature, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:11-14). Now not everybody in the church at Corinth was carnal and a babe, the same thing among the Hebrews.

The question is: what is milk according to the Word of God? Milk is only hearing the Word of God when we are baby Christians, so that we can grow and become Spiritual, and not carnal any more, a carnal Christian is ruled by his senses and emotions; but a spiritual Christian walks by faith. Peter says: newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word, that they may grow thereby (1Peter 2:2). Spiritual growth does not come by only drinking milk or hearing, or reading the word of God; but by doing the word of God, the more we act on the word of God, the more spiritual we become, and the less carnal and babes in Christ we are.

What is meat or solid food then? Jesus said to His disciples: I have meat to eat, that you know not of (John 4:32). My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work (John 4:34). So hearing the word, reading the word and studying the word are all just milk; doing the word of God and finishing His work, is eating meat or solid food. That is why, as long as we are only going from conference to conference, from seminar to seminar, there is no major growth, and we are just drinking milk. Until we act on what we have learned, we are only spiritual babes, we may quote lots of scriptures, but as far as God is concerned we are but babes. Jesus did not tell us: talks that I talk, you will talk, and greater talks, more eloquent talks, than these shall you do, but He told us: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He who believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.  (John 14:12).

Yes, we must preach the gospel, we must act like Jesus and talk like Jesus; but as long as we are not doing His works, and finishing them, we are not truly eating meat or solid food, for according to Jesus, eating meat is doing the will of the Father who sent us and finishing His work. Paul says it clearly: For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power (miracle working power), and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake (1Thessalonians 1:5). And my speech and my preaching were not with enticing (Peithos: persuasive, enticing, to convince by argument true or false, apologetic)words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (miracle working power); so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God [even the miracle working power of God]  (1Corinthians 2:4-5).

So from this scripture Paul did not believe in what we have today as Christian apologetic, if Christ is truly risen we do not have to be apologetic about it, that is man’s wisdom. If Christ is truly risen, He will do the same works He did before they crucified Him, and greater works through us. It is not just in words. Being Spiritual is doing the will of God contained in the bible, doing the works of Jesus and finishing whatever Jesus has called us to do. Being spiritual or eating meat, is also teaching other people what you have learned, even making disciples. Milk becomes meat when we do the word, and teach it to others, that is how we grow. You will be amazed at the speed at which you will grow spiritually, if you start doing the word and teaching the word, even making disciples. James says: But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22). And unfortunately there are many Christians who are deceiving themselves: ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2Timothy 3:7). If you share and act on the little word you know, and teach it to someone else, you are already growing, you are no longer drinking milk, but now eating meat. It might be minced meat, but it is better than milk, and when you start doing the works of Jesus, you are eating solid meat, praise the Lord!

Paul says: nevertheless to the degree that you have already attained, let us walk by the same rule or standard, let us be of the same mind (Philippians 3:16). You do not have to wait until you know everything in the bible; we need to act on the little revelation we have, and God will add more. It is simple, everything you learn or read, must come out of your mouth; you must share it with someone else. You must go and act on it; that is the way to grow spiritually. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). If you believe in your heart the word that you have read and studied, you must confess it with your mouth. Paul says: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak (2Corinthians 4:13). So a person who believes what is written, will also speak what is written. Jesus believed what was written and He always spoke what was written. Many times what is written is an oxymoron (a smart saying which at first view appears foolish)but if you do not stumble at what is written, then you will experience the power of the written Word of God.

Back to our carnal, baby Christians of the Corinthian church, from chapter twelve to chapter fourteen of first Corinthians, Paul writes to them about spiritual gifts, what they are, and how they operate, and how to use them in a church setting. This means carnal, baby Christians who are still drinking milk, have the manifestations of the Spirit of God. Gifts of the Spirit are mere manifestations of the Spirit of God. Many times in church settings they will tell you, you need to be mature, and be spiritual before you can manifest any spiritual gift, that is not entirely true; for the Corinthians manifested them, and yet Paul said they were carnal, babes and still drinking milk. This is not a bible study on spiritual gifts, but we just want to know if we need to be concerned about them, to do the works of Jesus. The truth is, as you mature in the nine aspects of the fruit of the spirit, you will be able to flow effortlessly in the gifts of the Spirit; for we have already established, that the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit, work hand in hand.

Paul says: concerning spiritual gifts, I do not want you to be ignorant (1Corinthians 12:1). Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations or ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations or activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal or for the profit of all (1Corinthians 12:4-7). Paul says there are differences of ministries, or administration, but the same Lord. You and I must understand, the Lord Jesus is in us, serving the people through us, Jesus said: For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The same Lord Jesus now dwells in you, and whatever service you are doing to people around you, do it as if Jesus were serving or ministering to the people through you. Read the gospels and see how Jesus ministered to the people, and do likewise; for He is in you, and wants to keep ministering through you. He has given you the ministry of reconciliation, and His word of reconciliation; go reconcile the people to God: spirit, soul and body (2Corinthians 5:18-19).

Paul says there are diversities of operations or activities, but it is the same God who works all, in all of us born again Christians. Paul says: it is God who works in you, both to will and do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). No matter what you are doing as an activity, whether it is cooking, ushering, singing, helping the abused women, helping orphans, feeding and clothing the poor and hungry, visiting sick people in hospitals and homes, helping the widows, etc. God is the one doing everything through you; He gives you the willingness, He enables you to do that activity, and He works in you, and through you. Jesus said: the Father who dwells in Me does the works (John 14:10). The Same God dwells in you, like He dwells in Jesus. Paul tells you: you are the temple of the living God, as God has said,  I will dwell in them and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people (2Corinthians 6:16).  When you realize that, you learn to rest in Jesus; for you know that the Godhead dwells in you, and is doing everything through you, you just have to be their fellow worker, and walk in the newness of life of the new creation that you are now. Please read The Perfect Redemption Plan, Part IV.

Paul says there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, but the manifestations of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all. The nine gifts of the Spirit Paul lists in 1Corinthians12 are really the manifestations of the Spirit of God. These nine gifts of the Spirit or nine manifestations of the Spirit of God, are the most common among believers, but there are many other manifestations of the Spirit of God. Paul says it is the same Spirit, but diversities of gifts or manifestations. Again you must realize that you are a new creation, you were born complete in Christ Jesus. The reason why no gifts of the Spirit are listed in the gospels is because they had the understanding that they received Him, the person of the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost is not an it, but is a He. Some blasphemous people think that the Holy Ghost is a tool God gave them to do the work. May God forgive their ignorance! The Holy Ghost is God and Lord. He is not a wind; though He is likened to the wind. This was to tell us, you cannot control Him. he does as He pleases; He is Lord and you are to follow Him. Please revisit the Perfect Redemption Plan series, especially part IV and Part V. You and I must understand that the person of the Holy Ghost came to dwell in us, when we were born again.

We all received the same Spirit of Adoption by whom we cry Abba Father (Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:15). He is not a dove either, though He is likened to a dove, for His faithfulness, purity, gentleness and harmlessness. Therefore do not be afraid to fry or broil doves and eat them, you are not eating the Holy Spirit by so doing! You are a person, when you visit your friend’s home, you do not leave one of your legs at your home, your two hands at home, and go like that to your friend’s. Why? Because you are a person, and your legs and your hands are part of you, wherever you go they also go with you.

Unless in our mind we see the Holy Ghost as a person, and not as a wind; we will not fully comprehend the gifts of the Spirit which are but the manifestations of the Spirit of God. When the Holy Spirit came into you, He fully came to abide forever in you. He did not leave some parts of Him in heaven; no, He is complete in you, just like He is in Jesus. He came with all His manifestations or gifts; He did not leave some gifts in heaven. It is the same Holy Spirit that Jesus has, that you have. He is complete in Jesus with all His manifestations. He is also complete in you with all His manifestations or gifts. Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit is the Helper or Comforter (John 14:16). When you are in a situation and need one of the gifts of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost will give it to you.

Paul explains to us, saying: Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant. You know that being led away, you nations were led to dumb idols. Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says Jesus is accursed, and that no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit, is given to each one for the profit of all, for to one is given the word of wisdom through the same Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills (1Corinthians 12:1-11).

Think of it this way: an intern in surgery is in a theatre, and has a professor in surgery to help him and guide him through the surgery. He walks into the Operating Room empty handed, full of assurance that everything that he needs is there, when he has need of it. When he asks for a scalpel it is placed into his hands. He expects it to be placed into his hands, for He knows the helper has everything for Him. When he asks for suction, the fluid around the organ is drawn into a pipe. When he asks for a scan or an x-ray to know what the problem is, it is done! When he needs to bombard the cancerous growth with some radioactive particles, it is done. When he asks for a leg, or any organ, so that he can graft it in, it is given to him. When the patient dies, the Helper gives him the defibrillator to resuscitate the patient.

Now no analogy is perfect, the Holy Spirit is not literally like a professor in surgery, assisting and guiding the intern in the theatre. Though the Holy Ghost is our Helper, yet He is not our servant, we are fellow workers, and He is our God. He is the third person of the Godhead. Having said that, it works the same way like a surgeon in a theatre, and the Holy Spirit is the Helper. If the patient has nothing that requires surgery, we only reassure the patient that nothing is wrong with him, it shall be well. This is the equivalent of prophecy, for prophecy is for edification, to lift people up, to build them up, and to reassure them that it shall be well with them. For Paul says: But he who prophesies, speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort (1Corinthians 14:3). Just like the professor will say to his young intern: in this situation this is what you should say to the patient and his family. The Holy Spirit is the one that gives us the words of that prophecy, for the testimony of Jesus, is the Spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10).

If the patient suspects something is going wrong, but the intern in medicine does not know what, or does not know how to solve the problem, then the professor in medicine helps the young intern with the diagnosis and to administer the treatment. The same way when people come to us with their problem; the Holy Spirit gives us a word of knowledge that tells us the real origin of their problem, and then a word of wisdom to get them out of trouble. The young intern, after consulting with his professor, would tell his patient the reason you are constantly having malaria, is because you do not protect yourself against mosquitoes. Therefore buy a mosquito net, and anti-mosquito spray, and you will not have malaria that often. Or a patient would complain about chest pain, or any other internal pain. The young intern, after consulting with the professor, may ask for an x-ray or a scan to see inside the body, and then he can prescribe what to do. In the same way, God, by the Holy Ghost, can give us a vision or a dream to see what the problem is, or what the future is, and by a word of knowledge, which is the written Word of God, that the Holy Ghost brings to our remembrance, we tell the person what to do, or what God is saying concerning them.

The reason why I used the example of a relationship between the young intern in medicine and the professor in medicine, is because the young intern cannot disrespect the professor. The young intern cannot diagnose and prescribe anything to the patient, without having it checked and confirmed by the professor who is supervising all his work. Whatever he says to the patient or the family of the patient, he must first of all check with the professor supervising him, if that information is correct and if he is allowed to disclose it to the patient and the family members. So though the professor in medicine is helping the young intern in medicine; the young intern is not confused in his mind as to who the boss is. He knows that the professor is his boss and not the other way around. The same thing for our relationship with the Holy Ghost, even though He is our Helper, He is the boss, even our Lord and God! Just like the intern cannot do anything without the approval of the professor supervising him, we also can do nothing without the Holy Ghost; for it is not our might nor by our power; but by the Holy Ghost of God (Zechariah 4:6).

We revere the Holy Ghost, because He is the one who can determine if we will be used next time or not, to do the work of the ministry with signs and wonders. Just like the intern respects and honours the professor supervising him, for he knows that the professor has the power to end his career even before it starts; if he ignores the instructions of the professor and does things his own way, and not the way he was instructed, there is a procedure to follow, and there is a code of ethics to follow. If that young intern thinks he knows better than the professor supervising him, he is going to mess up big time.

When the intern in medicine has a patient who does not understand English, he asks for an interpreter to explain to the patient what he wants to do, and what he is suffering from. The Holy Spirit also gives us the gift of tongues, for instance the tongues of men. Paul said: I speak with tongues of men (1Corinthians 13:1). You only know English, but someone next to you only speaks French, the Holy Spirit gives you a message in tongues of men, which will in this case be French, so that the person next to you understands what God is saying concerning Him. Just like the intern surgeon who is in his O. R, so are you, where you are standing you are at the same time in heaven and on earth. You are seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). As we explained in the bible study on The Perfect Redemption Plan: Jehovah-Rapha; there is a storehouse in heaven with all the body parts (Psalm 139).

Since you are seated in heaven with Jesus, this is your O. R, when you command an organ to grow or to be created, the Holy Spirit takes it from the Storehouse in heaven, and grafts it onto the person, this is what some will call a creative miracle, but as far as God is concerned, it is just healing! When there is a cancerous growth to remove, the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God in your mouth, which works like a scalpel, to remove that growth, this is the gift of healing. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword (or scalpel), piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

A dear sister Louise, the prophetess of the Lord, full of the Holy Spirit and power sent me an e-mail saying: I know you have referred to this in your bible study and I have read it; but I still can’t work out how it says there are spare body parts for us in heaven, could you please explain what is written. I know it will help me when praying for people to be healed.

Psalm 139:16 your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

I sent her an e-mail saying:

Psalm 139:15 My substance (otsem=bones, skeleton, substance)was not hid from You, when I was made in secret,  [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth

Psalm 139:16 Your eyes did see my substance (otsem: bones, skeleton, substance), yet being unperfect (golem: embryo, foetus); and in Your book all [my members] were written (kathab: to write, record, enrol, register),  [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.

Since God is a creator or a manufacturer, just like any earthly manufacturer, they write the manual that details all the components of their car or plane, all those parts and the dressing of the car or plane are in that book, even before they start producing the car or plane. Likewise God also as our creator, designed how mankind is supposed to be perfect, all bones, all organs and all body parts are recorded in His book in heaven, so that every human must have all their body parts, perfectly whole. So even in the womb, when the child has not fully developed yet, and is still an embryo or a foetus, God already knows what bones, organs, tissues and the body parts He needs to perfect,
