ROBERT MORRIS: Would it bealright with you if you were
00:00:03.052 --> 00:00:04.053
going through a difficult timeand the Holy Spirit
00:00:04.153 --> 00:00:05.821
just gave you faith that youwere going to get through it?
00:00:05.921 --> 00:00:08.524
See, what I'm trying to tell youis the Holy Spirit's good
00:00:08.624 --> 00:00:11.493
and His gifts are good.
00:00:11.593 --> 00:00:12.828
Don't be afraid of Him and don'tbe afraid of any of His gifts.
00:00:12.928 --> 00:00:15.064
♪ ♪
00:00:15.164 --> 00:00:28.343
ROBERT: Okay, so, I want you toturn, though, now,
00:00:29.845 --> 00:00:31.747
to 1 Corinthians 12.
00:00:31.847 --> 00:00:33.549
Turn your Bibles1 Corinthians 12.
00:00:33.649 --> 00:00:34.817
We're in a series called"The God I Never Knew."
00:00:34.917 --> 00:00:37.352
Talking aboutthe Holy Spirit.
00:00:37.453 --> 00:00:39.621
Can I just ask you, areyou enjoying the series?
00:00:39.721 --> 00:00:42.024
I think it's fantastic.
00:00:42.124 --> 00:00:44.326
We've been answering somequestions about the Holy Spirit.
00:00:44.426 --> 00:00:47.763
And last week was, "IsHe is Pentecostal?"
00:00:47.863 --> 00:00:50.265
And I enjoyed that message,sharing that with you.
00:00:50.365 --> 00:00:52.868
This week I likethe title, too.
00:00:52.968 --> 00:00:54.269
This week I've entitled themessage, "Is He Charismatic?"
00:00:54.369 --> 00:00:58.674
So, what I'm trying to do inthis series is take away
00:00:58.774 --> 00:01:02.344
the miscommunicationabout the Holy Spirit.
00:01:02.444 --> 00:01:05.714
Another way tosay it is, fear.
00:01:05.814 --> 00:01:08.784
I mean, a lot of people areactually afraid
00:01:08.884 --> 00:01:11.820
of the Holy Spirit.
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.422
And that's horrible.
00:01:13.522 --> 00:01:14.523
So, 1 Corinthians12, look at Verse 1.
00:01:14.623 --> 00:01:17.326
It says, "Now concerningspiritual gifts, brethren,
00:01:17.426 --> 00:01:22.731
I do not want youto be ignorant."
00:01:22.831 --> 00:01:25.467
Now, here's the reason Iwanted to talk about
00:01:25.567 --> 00:01:27.603
this verse just for a moment.
00:01:27.703 --> 00:01:30.172
A lot of believers areignorant about the Holy Spirit.
00:01:30.272 --> 00:01:33.208
Now, He didn't say stupid.
00:01:33.308 --> 00:01:34.710
It doesn't mean stupid.
00:01:34.810 --> 00:01:36.011
It just means that youhaven't been taught.
00:01:36.111 --> 00:01:38.914
If you're ignorant about asubject, you just have not been
00:01:39.014 --> 00:01:40.816
taught about that subject
00:01:40.916 --> 00:01:42.084
or you've been taughtmisinformation.
00:01:42.184 --> 00:01:44.353
He says, "Spiritual gifts."
00:01:44.453 --> 00:01:45.787
This word "Spiritual," isthe Greek word pneumatikos.
00:01:45.888 --> 00:01:49.491
Pneumatikos means empoweredby breath or wind.
00:01:49.591 --> 00:01:53.295
Look at the firstpart of it, pneumatic.
00:01:53.395 --> 00:01:56.064
You probably sometime heardabout a pneumatic drill
00:01:56.165 --> 00:01:58.233
or something.
00:01:58.333 --> 00:01:59.301
It means it'spowered by air. Okay.
00:01:59.401 --> 00:02:01.270
"Now, concerningspiritual gifts."
00:02:01.370 --> 00:02:03.438
Let me say it another way.
00:02:03.539 --> 00:02:04.506
Now, concerning gifts thatare empowered
00:02:04.606 --> 00:02:06.909
by the breath of God.
00:02:07.009 --> 00:02:09.178
And we'll say it one moretime because it's got
00:02:09.278 --> 00:02:10.546
to really catch you.
00:02:10.646 --> 00:02:11.713
You've got to catch this.
00:02:11.813 --> 00:02:13.248
Now, concerning gifts thatyou can only move in if you
00:02:13.348 --> 00:02:17.953
allow the Holy Spiritto breathe in you.
00:02:18.053 --> 00:02:21.056
That's what He's saying.
00:02:21.156 --> 00:02:22.124
Those are spiritual gifts.
00:02:22.224 --> 00:02:23.325
The words, "Now concerning,"just to give you --
00:02:23.425 --> 00:02:25.060
again, a littleBible lesson here.
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:28.497
They're in the 1Corinthians six times.
00:02:28.597 --> 00:02:32.434
The reason they're there isbecause Paul wrote a letter
00:02:32.534 --> 00:02:35.537
to the Corinthian churchbefore 1 Corinthians.
00:02:35.637 --> 00:02:39.374
First Corinthians is actuallythe second letter that he wrote.
00:02:39.474 --> 00:02:43.812
I don't know -- we don'tknow what happened
00:02:43.912 --> 00:02:45.080
to the first letter.
00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:46.148
I personally think that theLord said to him,
00:02:46.248 --> 00:02:47.749
"That's not getting inthe Bible, buddy.
00:02:47.849 --> 00:02:49.885
You're going to have to getbetter if you want
00:02:49.985 --> 00:02:51.620
it to get in the Bible."
00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:53.121
So, he writes a letter andthen they wrote one back.
00:02:53.222 --> 00:02:57.459
First Corinthian 5, he saysin the epistle, "Earlier letter
00:02:57.559 --> 00:03:00.862
that I wrote you,"and in Chapter 7, it says,
00:03:00.963 --> 00:03:04.433
"In the -- now concerningthe letter you wrote me."
00:03:04.533 --> 00:03:07.436
And this is all in 1Corinthians, alright?
00:03:07.536 --> 00:03:08.971
So, when it says, "Nowconcerning," he's answering
00:03:09.071 --> 00:03:11.573
the question that they had.
00:03:11.673 --> 00:03:13.542
Did you all follow all that.
00:03:13.642 --> 00:03:15.143
I know this isn't a Biblecollege class, but I just wanted
00:03:15.244 --> 00:03:17.012
to give you alittle background here.
00:03:17.112 --> 00:03:18.680
So, "Now concerningspiritual gifts and I don't
00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:22.484
want you to be ignorant."Okay.
00:03:22.584 --> 00:03:23.752
I want to say thesame thing to you.
00:03:23.852 --> 00:03:24.987
I don't want you to beuneducated about
00:03:25.087 --> 00:03:27.723
spiritual gifts.
00:03:27.823 --> 00:03:28.924
I can't do it allin one message.
00:03:29.024 --> 00:03:30.892
You need to know that.
00:03:30.993 --> 00:03:32.628
So, we have other classes.
00:03:32.728 --> 00:03:34.029
You need to take classes.
00:03:34.129 --> 00:03:35.097
You need to learn.You need to study.
00:03:35.197 --> 00:03:36.965
But, many, many people haveno clue how many gifts
00:03:37.065 --> 00:03:38.567
there are or how they work.
00:03:38.667 --> 00:03:40.202
And I'll just tell you, Iput the gifts
00:03:40.302 --> 00:03:42.104
into four categories of gifts.Okay?
00:03:42.204 --> 00:03:45.540
There are themotivational gifts.
00:03:45.641 --> 00:03:47.976
And those are in Romans 12.
00:03:48.076 --> 00:03:50.145
You have one of those,they motivate you.
00:03:50.245 --> 00:03:52.247
There are themanifestational gifts,
00:03:52.347 --> 00:03:55.183
which we're going totalk about today.
00:03:55.284 --> 00:03:56.318
They're in 1 Corinthians 12.
00:03:56.418 --> 00:03:57.552
There are theministry gifts.
00:03:57.653 --> 00:03:58.787
They're in 1 Corinthians 14.
00:03:58.887 --> 00:04:00.455
And there are the ministerialgifts in Ephesians 4.
00:04:00.555 --> 00:04:04.126
Those are not gifts of theHoly Spirit, they're gifts
00:04:04.226 --> 00:04:05.761
of Jesus, apostle, prophet,evangelist, pastor, teacher.
00:04:05.861 --> 00:04:08.797
Again, I don't have timeto go into all that.
00:04:08.897 --> 00:04:10.899
But -- so, we're goingto talk about
00:04:10.999 --> 00:04:12.701
the manifestational gifts of theHoly Spirit today,
00:04:12.801 --> 00:04:15.570
charisma of the Lord.
00:04:15.671 --> 00:04:17.973
All right?
00:04:18.073 --> 00:04:19.174
So, 1 Corinthians12, look at Verse 7.
00:04:19.274 --> 00:04:22.110
There are ninemanifestational gifts
00:04:22.210 --> 00:04:24.079
of the Holy Spirit.
00:04:24.179 --> 00:04:25.480
"But the manifestation of theSpirit is given to each one."
00:04:25.580 --> 00:04:31.420
Just a question, I've askedyou this before,
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:33.221
but it's really important,are you an each?
00:04:33.322 --> 00:04:36.258
Yes, you are.So, these are for you.
00:04:36.358 --> 00:04:38.694
All nine of theseare for you.
00:04:38.794 --> 00:04:40.562
"Is given to each onefor the profit of all.
00:04:40.662 --> 00:04:45.133
For to one is given the wordof wisdom," this is one
00:04:45.233 --> 00:04:48.036
of the gifts, "through theSpirit, to another, the word
00:04:48.136 --> 00:04:51.039
of knowledge, through thesame Spirit; to another
00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:53.308
faith by the same Spirit, toanother gifts of healings,
00:04:53.408 --> 00:04:57.145
by the same Spirit, toanother the working of miracles,
00:04:57.245 --> 00:05:00.282
to another prophecy, to anotherthe impart," pardon me,
00:05:00.382 --> 00:05:03.885
"to another discerning ofspirits, to another different
00:05:03.985 --> 00:05:07.222
kinds of tongues, to another theinterpretation of tongues,
00:05:07.322 --> 00:05:11.026
but one and the same Spiritworks all these things,
00:05:11.126 --> 00:05:14.963
distributing to each."
00:05:15.063 --> 00:05:16.631
One more time,are you an each? Okay.
00:05:16.732 --> 00:05:19.000
"To each one individuallyas He wills."
00:05:19.101 --> 00:05:23.205
Now, let me explainsomething about this.
00:05:23.305 --> 00:05:25.340
You don't have oneof these gifts.
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:28.577
Don't go around tellingpeople, "I have the word
00:05:28.677 --> 00:05:30.178
of knowledge."
00:05:30.278 --> 00:05:31.313
Or, "I have theword of wisdom."
00:05:31.413 --> 00:05:32.381
You don't have any of them.
00:05:32.481 --> 00:05:33.415
The Holy Spirithas all of it.
00:05:33.515 --> 00:05:35.684
And He distributes to eachone for the profit of all.
00:05:35.784 --> 00:05:39.821
You can minister in the giftof the word of knowledge at any
00:05:39.921 --> 00:05:43.859
time that the HolySpirit allows you to do that.
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.561
So, any person -- so, I'veheard people say,
00:05:46.661 --> 00:05:48.597
"Well, I have this."No, you don't.
00:05:48.697 --> 00:05:50.632
The Holy Spirit does.
00:05:50.732 --> 00:05:52.134
He has all nine of theseand He manifests, the word
00:05:52.234 --> 00:05:54.903
"manifest," means to makeknown, He makes them known
00:05:55.003 --> 00:05:59.608
through each one, everyone as Hewills for the profit of all.
00:05:59.708 --> 00:06:05.447
Alright?
00:06:05.547 --> 00:06:06.681
So, what I did was, thereare nine gifts, many theologians
00:06:06.782 --> 00:06:10.285
do this, we divide them intothree categories.
00:06:10.385 --> 00:06:13.422
That works out well for me,because a good sermon always
00:06:13.522 --> 00:06:15.791
has three points.
00:06:15.891 --> 00:06:17.025
So, it's going to workout great.
00:06:17.125 --> 00:06:18.326
Alright?So, here's the first category
00:06:18.427 --> 00:06:20.462
and the first three gifts.
00:06:20.562 --> 00:06:21.897
The discerning gifts.
00:06:21.997 --> 00:06:23.832
I'm going to go throughthree gifts that are what we
00:06:23.932 --> 00:06:26.334
call the discerning gifts.
00:06:26.435 --> 00:06:28.437
And I'll go through each ofthem, but they're,
00:06:28.537 --> 00:06:30.705
just so you know, the word ofknowledge, word of wisdom,
00:06:30.806 --> 00:06:33.241
and discerning of spirits.
00:06:33.341 --> 00:06:34.643
These are discerning gifts.
00:06:34.743 --> 00:06:35.911
So, let me give you theword of knowledge first.
00:06:36.011 --> 00:06:37.479
Here's what a wordof knowledge is.
00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:39.114
A word of knowledge is toknow something specific without
00:06:39.214 --> 00:06:42.551
having learnedit by natural means.
00:06:42.651 --> 00:06:45.454
To know something specificwithout having learned
00:06:45.554 --> 00:06:47.622
it by natural means.
00:06:47.722 --> 00:06:48.757
Now, because I'm goingthrough nine, I can't do
00:06:48.857 --> 00:06:53.228
like I would normally do.
00:06:53.328 --> 00:06:54.463
I could spend a classon each of these.
00:06:54.563 --> 00:06:56.431
But, Jesus moved in thesegifts because He moved
00:06:56.531 --> 00:07:00.769
with the power ofthe Holy Spirit.
00:07:00.869 --> 00:07:03.405
When He was talking to thewoman at the well, He said,
00:07:03.505 --> 00:07:06.074
"Go call your husband."
00:07:06.174 --> 00:07:07.342
She said, "I don'thave a husband."
00:07:07.442 --> 00:07:08.944
He said, "Well, you saidthat right, because you've
00:07:09.044 --> 00:07:11.146
had five and the one you'rewith is not your husband."
00:07:11.246 --> 00:07:14.216
Okay.That's a word of knowledge.
00:07:14.316 --> 00:07:15.917
Now, what many people wouldsay is, "Well, He was Jesus
00:07:16.017 --> 00:07:17.886
and Jesus knows everything."
00:07:17.986 --> 00:07:19.154
You have to remember though,He laid down His divinity
00:07:19.254 --> 00:07:21.756
and He pickedup His humanity.
00:07:21.857 --> 00:07:23.225
When Jesus was on this earth, Heministered in the power
00:07:23.325 --> 00:07:26.394
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:26.495 --> 00:07:27.929
He came out of thewilderness and the power
00:07:28.029 --> 00:07:29.331
of the Spirit.
00:07:29.431 --> 00:07:30.499
When He was baptized, theHoly Spirit came upon Him.
00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:33.401
He said, "I cast demonsout by the Spirit of God."
00:07:33.502 --> 00:07:35.770
So, He moved by thepower of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:35.871 --> 00:07:37.539
Here's the secondone, a word of wisdom.
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.175
This is a divine answer orsolution for a particular event.
00:07:40.275 --> 00:07:45.447
A divine answer or solutionfor a particular event.
00:07:45.547 --> 00:07:49.150
In John 9, this man getshealed and they said,
00:07:49.251 --> 00:07:52.821
"We don't even know wherethis guy's from."
00:07:52.921 --> 00:07:55.223
And He said, "Well, thisis a marvelous thing.
00:07:55.323 --> 00:07:56.858
You don't know where He'sfrom, yet He opened my eyes.
00:07:56.958 --> 00:07:59.594
He said, since the beginningof time no one has opened
00:07:59.694 --> 00:08:01.830
the eyes of someoneborn blind."
00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:03.598
And then he says this, "Ifthis Man were not from God,
00:08:03.698 --> 00:08:05.800
He could do nothing."
00:08:05.901 --> 00:08:07.769
And you know what happened,they couldn't answer him.
00:08:07.869 --> 00:08:09.804
That was a word of wisdom.
00:08:09.905 --> 00:08:11.206
I mean, God gavehim a wise answer.
00:08:11.306 --> 00:08:15.644
You need to go to --start going to prayer
00:08:15.744 --> 00:08:17.946
and let the Holy Spirit speakto you about.
00:08:18.046 --> 00:08:19.748
Would that be okay?
00:08:19.848 --> 00:08:21.216
Because He knows a lot moreabout your business than you do,
00:08:21.316 --> 00:08:23.184
by the way.Okay.
00:08:23.285 --> 00:08:24.753
So, and here's the thirddiscerning gift
00:08:24.853 --> 00:08:28.757
and it's discerning of spirits.
00:08:28.857 --> 00:08:30.625
Discerning of spirits meansto be made aware
00:08:30.725 --> 00:08:33.028
of the presence of ademonic spirit.
00:08:33.128 --> 00:08:35.497
To be made aware of thepresence of a demonic spirit.
00:08:35.597 --> 00:08:38.233
This happened when there wasa girl following Paul around
00:08:38.333 --> 00:08:41.803
and saying, "These men areservants of the Most High,"
00:08:41.903 --> 00:08:44.039
but she was afortune teller.
00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:46.608
And you say, "Well, she'ssaying the right thing." Yes.
00:08:46.708 --> 00:08:48.476
But, he didn't want a witchconfirming their ministry.
00:08:48.577 --> 00:08:51.880
So, he knew it was a demon.
00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:53.081
He turned around and castthe demon out of her
00:08:53.181 --> 00:08:55.283
just like that,because he was aware.
00:08:55.383 --> 00:08:56.685
He became aware.
00:08:56.785 --> 00:08:57.786
Now, I want you to lookat this for a moment.
00:08:57.886 --> 00:08:59.554
Discerning of spirits.
00:08:59.654 --> 00:09:02.157
That's -- this gift iscalled discerning of spirits.
00:09:02.257 --> 00:09:05.427
Now listen to me carefully.
00:09:05.527 --> 00:09:07.128
It is not calleddiscernment.
00:09:07.228 --> 00:09:11.967
It's calleddiscerning of spirits.
00:09:12.067 --> 00:09:13.501
Now, listen.
00:09:13.602 --> 00:09:15.003
There is no gift ofdiscernment in the Bible.
00:09:15.103 --> 00:09:20.241
Look and see.
00:09:20.342 --> 00:09:21.343
We're supposedto be discerning.
00:09:21.443 --> 00:09:22.377
We're supposed to have oursenses trained
00:09:22.477 --> 00:09:23.712
so we discern good and evil.We're supposed to discern.
00:09:23.812 --> 00:09:26.281
Not saying that's wrong.
00:09:26.381 --> 00:09:27.549
I'm going to make a statementand it's going to get some
00:09:27.649 --> 00:09:29.351
of you, so just laugh about itwith the rest of us.
00:09:29.451 --> 00:09:31.586
Okay?
00:09:31.686 --> 00:09:34.623
But most people that I'vemet, most, not all, but most,
00:09:34.723 --> 00:09:38.627
that I've met, that say, "I havethe gift of discernment,"
00:09:38.727 --> 00:09:42.664
actually havethe gift of criticism.
00:09:42.764 --> 00:09:47.769
Boy, I saw some nudges.
00:09:47.869 --> 00:09:49.270
Wasn't that --praise the Lord.
00:09:49.371 --> 00:09:52.140
I started some fights.
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.842
So -- alright.Now, listen.
00:09:53.942 --> 00:09:57.912
You may be adiscerning person.
00:09:58.013 --> 00:10:00.515
But, you don't have thegift of discernment.
00:10:00.615 --> 00:10:02.050
There's not a giftof discernment.
00:10:02.150 --> 00:10:04.786
The reason I say criticismis because people seem to say,
00:10:04.886 --> 00:10:07.989
"Well, I have the giftof discernment," and they're
00:10:08.089 --> 00:10:09.391
actually very critical andvery judgmental of other people
00:10:09.491 --> 00:10:12.060
and they think that theiropinion is God's opinion.
00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:15.930
And they blame it orvalidate it on,
00:10:16.031 --> 00:10:18.667
"Well, I have this giftfrom the Bible."
00:10:18.767 --> 00:10:20.435
Well, I'm just letting you know,that gift's not in the Bible.
00:10:20.535 --> 00:10:23.805
But there is a gift ofdiscerning of spirits,
00:10:23.905 --> 00:10:25.540
and I just discerned that someof you have a critical spirit.
00:10:25.640 --> 00:10:27.776
So, Okay.
00:10:27.876 --> 00:10:30.578
But let me ask you this,would it be alright with you
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.415
if the Holy Spirit showedyou a demonic or evil spirit
00:10:33.515 --> 00:10:37.352
that was coming against yourmarriage and you
00:10:37.452 --> 00:10:39.187
prayed against that?
00:10:39.287 --> 00:10:40.689
Or coming againstone of your children?
00:10:40.789 --> 00:10:42.557
Or coming againstyour business?
00:10:42.657 --> 00:10:45.026
I'm telling you, I'm talkingto some business --
00:10:45.126 --> 00:10:46.961
Alright, let's keep going.Here's number two.
00:10:47.062 --> 00:10:49.097
The second category.The declarative gifts.
00:10:49.197 --> 00:10:52.200
The declarative gifts.
00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:54.669
Under here would beprophecy, tongues,
00:10:54.769 --> 00:10:56.371
and interpretation of tongues.
00:10:56.471 --> 00:10:57.639
And, again, we'll goover each one of them.
00:10:57.739 --> 00:10:59.774
Prophecy, tongues, andinterpretation of tongues.
00:10:59.874 --> 00:11:02.677
In other words, all threeuse the tongue to declare.
00:11:02.777 --> 00:11:04.846
Alright?
00:11:04.946 --> 00:11:06.014
First of all, prophecy isa message of encouragement
00:11:06.114 --> 00:11:09.551
from God through a person.
00:11:09.651 --> 00:11:12.387
A message of encouragementfrom God through a person.
00:11:12.487 --> 00:11:16.691
Now, please hear me.
00:11:16.791 --> 00:11:18.893
One who prophesies speaksedification, exhortation
00:11:18.993 --> 00:11:21.830
and comfort.
00:11:21.930 --> 00:11:23.098
It never says correction.
00:11:23.198 --> 00:11:27.001
The spiritual New Testamentgift of prophecy
00:11:27.102 --> 00:11:30.438
is encouragement.
00:11:30.538 --> 00:11:32.173
You will see many,many times the word,
00:11:32.273 --> 00:11:34.008
"encouragement," or"encourage," used with this.
00:11:34.109 --> 00:11:37.078
Here's why I say this.
00:11:37.178 --> 00:11:38.213
It's because, again, manypeople say, "Well, I have
00:11:38.313 --> 00:11:39.781
the gift of prophecy andthey think that they can correct
00:11:39.881 --> 00:11:42.917
other people and tag, "Thus saysthe Lord," on the end of it.
00:11:43.017 --> 00:11:48.490
And I'd like to warn youabout saying,
00:11:48.590 --> 00:11:50.358
"Thus says the Lord," when theLord didn't say.
00:11:50.458 --> 00:11:55.530
Scripture is 1 Corinthians14:31, notice this,
00:11:55.630 --> 00:12:00.435
"For you can all prophecy."
00:12:00.535 --> 00:12:03.271
I don't ask you to do thisa lot, but I just wanted
00:12:03.371 --> 00:12:05.974
to today, could yourepeat the word, "all."
00:12:06.074 --> 00:12:09.744
Because this is the Bible.
00:12:09.844 --> 00:12:11.446
"You can all prophecy."
00:12:11.546 --> 00:12:14.249
You can all prophecy.
00:12:14.349 --> 00:12:15.450
"One by one that all maylearn," I want you to notice
00:12:15.550 --> 00:12:19.788
the word learn, "and thatall may be encouraged."
00:12:19.888 --> 00:12:24.058
It doesn't say corrected.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.194
It says, "that allmay be encouraged."
00:12:26.294 --> 00:12:28.029
It also says, "Allmay be learn."
00:12:28.129 --> 00:12:29.631
Prophecy's a learning.
00:12:29.731 --> 00:12:30.899
We learn.
00:12:30.999 --> 00:12:32.066
We learn to hear God's voiceand we learn to speak
00:12:32.167 --> 00:12:33.635
it in an encouraging way.
00:12:33.735 --> 00:12:35.603
And I know that you probablyheard some prophecies
00:12:35.703 --> 00:12:38.106
that they just weren'tGod, you know.
00:12:38.206 --> 00:12:41.009
I understand that.
00:12:41.109 --> 00:12:42.177
People are learning.
00:12:42.277 --> 00:12:43.545
I heard about a fellow inAlabama and he prophesied --
00:12:43.645 --> 00:12:46.648
he said, "Thussays the Lord.
00:12:46.748 --> 00:12:49.050
I know your scared.
00:12:49.150 --> 00:12:50.885
Sometimes I getscared myself."
00:12:50.985 --> 00:12:53.021
Well, that's not God.
00:12:53.121 --> 00:12:57.692
I know this is not good grammar,but God don't get scared.
00:12:57.792 --> 00:13:00.795
Okay.But, he was learning.
00:13:00.895 --> 00:13:02.931
He's trying to say,God was saying,
00:13:03.031 --> 00:13:04.132
"Hey, I know how you feel."But, He don't get scared.
00:13:04.232 --> 00:13:06.334
Alright?So, we're learning.
00:13:06.434 --> 00:13:08.603
So, I'll say more aboutprophecy in a moment,
00:13:08.703 --> 00:13:10.305
because I'm going to linktongues and interpretation
00:13:10.405 --> 00:13:12.874
of tongues to prophecyand you'll see why
00:13:12.974 --> 00:13:15.210
in scripture in a moment.The next is tongues.
00:13:15.310 --> 00:13:17.645
Tongues is a message fromGod in a language unknown
00:13:17.745 --> 00:13:22.283
to the person throughwhom the message comes.
00:13:22.383 --> 00:13:26.221
Tongues is a message fromGod unknown to the person
00:13:26.321 --> 00:13:29.891
through whom the messagethe message comes.
00:13:29.991 --> 00:13:31.292
Now, I'm going to spend awhole message on tongues
00:13:31.392 --> 00:13:34.829
in two weeks.
00:13:34.929 --> 00:13:36.130
The next two messages willbe the last of this series.
00:13:36.231 --> 00:13:37.966
You don't want to missthe next two weeks.
00:13:38.066 --> 00:13:39.334
Alright?
00:13:39.434 --> 00:13:41.202
But, in -- I'm going --we're going to talk about.
00:13:41.302 --> 00:13:43.137
This is talking about themanifestation of tongues,
00:13:43.238 --> 00:13:46.507
not a prayer language.
00:13:46.608 --> 00:13:47.976
So, we're going to talkabout a prayer language.
00:13:48.076 --> 00:13:50.378
So, the next one isinterpretation of tongues.
00:13:50.478 --> 00:13:53.514
This is understanding andexpressing the thought
00:13:53.615 --> 00:13:57.552
or the intent of themessage in tongues.
00:13:57.652 --> 00:14:00.655
Understanding and expressingthe thought or the intent
00:14:00.755 --> 00:14:06.227
of the message in tongues.
00:14:06.327 --> 00:14:08.529
Now, I have a scripture, butI'm trying to give you all time
00:14:08.630 --> 00:14:12.200
to write down the, youknow, write the definition down.
00:14:12.300 --> 00:14:17.205
I know some people want to.
00:14:17.305 --> 00:14:18.473
So, let me say something.
00:14:18.573 --> 00:14:21.309
It's the interpretationof tongues, not the translation.
00:14:21.409 --> 00:14:26.080
It's the interpretation,not translation.
00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:27.815
You say, "What'sthe difference?"
00:14:27.916 --> 00:14:28.950
Oh, it's a verybig difference.
00:14:29.050 --> 00:14:30.618
Interpretation is expressingthe thought or the intent
00:14:30.718 --> 00:14:34.355
of what the person just said.
00:14:34.455 --> 00:14:36.491
Translation isword for word.
00:14:36.591 --> 00:14:39.193
The U.N. doesn't haveinterpreters.
00:14:39.294 --> 00:14:42.563
They have translators.
00:14:42.664 --> 00:14:44.299
That's because if somebodysays something about a bomb,
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.668
they want to know exactlywhat he said about a bomb,
00:14:46.768 --> 00:14:49.771
not what you think hisintent was, but what his
00:14:49.871 --> 00:14:52.941
intent actually is.
00:14:53.041 --> 00:14:53.975
Do you understandwhat I'm saying?
00:14:54.075 --> 00:14:55.276
Like when I travel overseas,I don't have translators.
00:14:55.376 --> 00:14:58.246
I have interrupters.
00:14:58.346 --> 00:14:59.681
Pardon me, interpreters.
00:14:59.781 --> 00:15:03.685
I was in Poland preachingone time and this --
00:15:03.785 --> 00:15:07.221
the interpreter didn't show up.
00:15:07.322 --> 00:15:09.223
And this guy said to me, "Iam learning English,
00:15:09.324 --> 00:15:16.364
I will interpret for youtonight."
00:15:16.464 --> 00:15:18.366
Well, I didn't haveanother choice.
00:15:18.466 --> 00:15:20.635
So, I was speaking, I'd saya phrase, he'd say a phrase.
00:15:20.735 --> 00:15:23.104
I'd say a phrase,he'd say a phrase.
00:15:23.204 --> 00:15:24.539
And then about every fiveminutes, he would say,
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.375
"Wait a minute," no, no, hewould do like this, I remember,
00:15:27.475 --> 00:15:29.444
he would go, "Oh."
00:15:29.544 --> 00:15:33.715
And then he'd say,"Just a moment."
00:15:33.815 --> 00:15:35.516
And then he would talk forlike three or four minutes
00:15:35.616 --> 00:15:37.085
and then the wholechurch would go, "Oh."
00:15:37.185 --> 00:15:42.690
So, I got to wondering,"What was he actually saying?"
00:15:42.790 --> 00:15:46.594
Like I would say, youknow, "Jesus' blood
00:15:46.694 --> 00:15:49.630
is the propitiationof our sins."
00:15:49.731 --> 00:15:51.466
And he might have said, "Idon't know what he just said."
00:15:51.566 --> 00:15:56.037
Okay.
00:15:56.137 --> 00:15:57.171
So, let me show you a versehere about prophecy
00:15:57.271 --> 00:15:58.906
and the interpretation oftongues, alright.
00:15:59.007 --> 00:16:01.142
First Corinthians 14, it'sprobably just one page over,
00:16:01.242 --> 00:16:03.811
if you want to lookat it, Verse 5.
00:16:03.911 --> 00:16:05.613
It says, "I wish you allspoke with tongues."
00:16:05.713 --> 00:16:08.683
Now, I just want tostop for just a moment.
00:16:08.783 --> 00:16:11.319
That's in your Bible.
00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:14.255
And you say, "Yes,but Paul wrote that."
00:16:14.355 --> 00:16:16.491
Paul wrote that, buthe didn't author it.
00:16:16.591 --> 00:16:20.828
The Holy Spirit authored it.
00:16:20.928 --> 00:16:23.031
This Book was God-breathed.
00:16:23.131 --> 00:16:25.733
God breathed the phrase, "Iwish all of you spoke
00:16:25.833 --> 00:16:30.004
in tongues."
00:16:30.104 --> 00:16:31.839
Now, that's pretty strong.
00:16:31.939 --> 00:16:33.674
I just like to say, nomatter what your religious
00:16:33.775 --> 00:16:35.309
background is, you're goingto have to come to grips
00:16:35.410 --> 00:16:37.545
with that scriptureat some point.
00:16:37.645 --> 00:16:39.247
I wish all of you did.
00:16:39.347 --> 00:16:40.648
Then I want to show you therest of it, because, again,
00:16:40.748 --> 00:16:42.717
we have so demeaned this gift oftongues and interpretation.
00:16:42.817 --> 00:16:47.188
Look, watch this.
00:16:47.288 --> 00:16:48.389
He said, "I wish all of youspoke with tongues,
00:16:48.489 --> 00:16:50.124
but even more that youprophesied.
00:16:50.224 --> 00:16:53.261
For he who prophesies isgreater than he who speaks
00:16:53.361 --> 00:16:57.465
with tongues," I've had alot of people quote that to me.
00:16:57.565 --> 00:16:59.634
But watch the very nextword, "unless -- unless,
00:16:59.734 --> 00:17:06.274
indeed, he interprets thatthe church may receive
00:17:06.374 --> 00:17:08.876
edification," or strengthand building up.
00:17:08.976 --> 00:17:12.046
Okay.
00:17:12.146 --> 00:17:13.114
Do you understand whatthat said?
00:17:13.214 --> 00:17:14.282
The one who propheciesis greater unless
00:17:14.382 --> 00:17:17.185
it's interpreted.
00:17:17.285 --> 00:17:18.219
If it's interpretedthen it's the same.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.522
That's what he's saying.
00:17:21.622 --> 00:17:23.124
See, you don't have to knowtheology to understand
00:17:23.224 --> 00:17:24.926
this verse, but you doneed to know grammar.
00:17:25.026 --> 00:17:31.332
So, don't tell me the onewho prophesies is greater than
00:17:31.432 --> 00:17:33.501
the one who speaks in tongues,unless it is interpreted.
00:17:33.601 --> 00:17:37.138
And here's what he's saying,"I wish you all, I wish you
00:17:37.238 --> 00:17:39.273
all spoke with tongues and Iwish all of you prophesied."
00:17:39.373 --> 00:17:41.275
Why?Because it is encouragement.
00:17:41.375 --> 00:17:44.378
Here's what he's saying,I wish all of you would
00:17:44.479 --> 00:17:45.980
encourage each other."
00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:49.484
Well, that was betterthan you thought.
00:17:49.584 --> 00:17:50.885
Let me just say it again.
00:17:50.985 --> 00:17:52.086
"I wish all of you wouldencourage one another."
00:17:52.186 --> 00:17:55.690
Alright.
00:17:55.790 --> 00:17:56.691
So, interpretation,not translation,
00:17:56.791 --> 00:17:59.927
not word-for-word."Okay.
00:18:00.027 --> 00:18:01.262
So, someone might give ashort message in tongues
00:18:01.362 --> 00:18:05.266
and someone might give along interpretation.
00:18:05.366 --> 00:18:09.704
Or the other way around.
00:18:09.804 --> 00:18:11.005
There may be a long tongue andthen a short interpretation.
00:18:11.105 --> 00:18:13.174
And people abuse that totry and invalidate and say,
00:18:13.274 --> 00:18:15.743
"Well, see, it's not truebecause that was a short
00:18:15.843 --> 00:18:17.778
message and thiswas a long one."
00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:19.380
No, again, it's notword-for-word."
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.116
It's interpretation.
00:18:22.216 --> 00:18:23.484
It's trying to express thethought or the intent
00:18:23.584 --> 00:18:25.820
of what was -- what the personunderstood by the Holy Spirit.
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.023
All right, let me giveyou an illustration.
00:18:29.123 --> 00:18:30.992
If you asked my son,"How was your day?"
00:18:31.092 --> 00:18:37.064
I'm talkingabout James, now.
00:18:37.165 --> 00:18:38.266
If you ask James, myson, "How was your day?"
00:18:38.366 --> 00:18:40.735
His interpretation ofhis day was, "Fine."
00:18:40.835 --> 00:18:47.808
That is all you will get.
00:18:47.909 --> 00:18:51.612
If you ask my daughter, "Howwas your day," she'll say,
00:18:51.712 --> 00:18:58.286
"Well, I woke up about six.
00:18:58.386 --> 00:18:59.520
I'd a little bit ofa sinus headache.
00:18:59.620 --> 00:19:01.088
I think it's because there'ssomething in the air.
00:19:01.189 --> 00:19:02.456
But, I had greatpancakes this morning.
00:19:02.557 --> 00:19:03.758
Really good pancakes.Both the girls slept well.
00:19:03.858 --> 00:19:06.127
Of course, Kate got up twiceand Addie got up one time.
00:19:06.227 --> 00:19:08.362
But they are sleepingthrough the night now.
00:19:08.462 --> 00:19:09.864
I stayed up work late.
00:19:09.964 --> 00:19:11.265
I was working ona new message.
00:19:11.365 --> 00:19:12.333
Have I told you aboutthe new message, Dad?"
00:19:12.433 --> 00:19:13.868
Okay.You better have some time.
00:19:13.968 --> 00:19:20.808
Because her interpretation,are you following me,
00:19:20.908 --> 00:19:25.913
of her day is going to be long.
00:19:26.013 --> 00:19:29.016
My son's interpretationof his day is going to be short.
00:19:29.116 --> 00:19:36.157
So, you can have along interpretation.
00:19:36.257 --> 00:19:37.925
By the way, I said, youknow, my son says, "Fine."
00:19:38.025 --> 00:19:40.194
Sometimes he doesn'teven use words.
00:19:40.294 --> 00:19:44.899
We were at the table onenight, had all the family over,
00:19:44.999 --> 00:19:47.735
and we were goingaround talking and I said,
00:19:47.835 --> 00:19:49.537
"Hey, James, how was your day?"This is what he did.
00:19:49.637 --> 00:19:52.506
He went --[Laughter]
00:19:52.607 --> 00:19:56.744
And then I said to him,"Hey, did you have that meeting
00:19:56.844 --> 00:19:59.013
you weresupposed to have today?"
00:19:59.113 --> 00:20:00.114
He said.
00:20:00.214 --> 00:20:01.649
Kept right on eating.
00:20:01.749 --> 00:20:02.750
So, I said, "Howwas the meeting?"
00:20:02.850 --> 00:20:07.188
And, you know, God marriesus to the perfect woman?
00:20:07.288 --> 00:20:09.490
His wife, Bridgette said,"Use your words, honey."
00:20:09.590 --> 00:20:12.493
[Laughter]Okay.
00:20:12.593 --> 00:20:22.570
These are thedeclaratory gifts.
00:20:22.670 --> 00:20:23.604
Here's the last category,the dynamic gifts.
00:20:23.704 --> 00:20:26.841
The dynamic gifts.
00:20:26.941 --> 00:20:29.410
The dynamic comes and thiswould be faith, healings,
00:20:29.510 --> 00:20:31.912
and miracles.Okay.
00:20:32.013 --> 00:20:33.648
Dynamic comes from the Greekword from Acts 1:8, it's inside
00:20:33.748 --> 00:20:36.617
other places, too, but that'sthe one we're familiar with.
00:20:36.717 --> 00:20:38.552
"You shall receive powerwhen the Holy Spirit
00:20:38.653 --> 00:20:40.655
comes upon you."
00:20:40.755 --> 00:20:41.856
Power is the Greekword, dunamis.
00:20:41.956 --> 00:20:44.358
We say, dunamis is theway we would say it.
00:20:44.458 --> 00:20:46.193
But dunamis the way itwould be pronounced.
00:20:46.294 --> 00:20:48.429
And it means power, butit means explosive power.
00:20:48.529 --> 00:20:53.634
For instance, there'sanother word we get from this
00:20:53.734 --> 00:20:56.003
and that is dynamite.
00:20:56.103 --> 00:20:58.406
That's what it means, "Youshall receive dynamite
00:20:58.506 --> 00:21:01.175
when the Holy Spiritcomes upon you."
00:21:01.275 --> 00:21:03.377
Power.
00:21:03.477 --> 00:21:04.412
So that when you'rewitnessing, this power
00:21:04.512 --> 00:21:05.813
just explodes out of you.That's what He's saying.
00:21:05.913 --> 00:21:08.716
So, here are these three.
00:21:08.816 --> 00:21:10.351
Here's the first one, faith.
00:21:10.451 --> 00:21:12.119
Faith is a supernaturalimpartation of belief
00:21:12.219 --> 00:21:16.257
and confidence for aspecific situation.
00:21:16.357 --> 00:21:20.394
Now, I'm talking about --I'm not talking about faith
00:21:20.494 --> 00:21:22.063
in general, I'm talkingabout this manifestational
00:21:22.163 --> 00:21:24.899
gift of the Holy Spirit is asupernatural impartation
00:21:24.999 --> 00:21:29.270
of belief and confidencefor a specific situation.
00:21:29.370 --> 00:21:32.006
Let me say it this way.
00:21:32.106 --> 00:21:33.240
Would it be alright withyou, if you were going through
00:21:33.341 --> 00:21:35.609
a difficult time andthe Holy Spirit just gave you
00:21:35.710 --> 00:21:38.045
faith that you'regoing to get through it?
00:21:38.145 --> 00:21:40.614
See, what I'm trying to tellyou is the Holy Spirit's good
00:21:40.715 --> 00:21:44.218
and His gifts are good.
00:21:44.318 --> 00:21:45.653
Don't be afraid of Him and don'tbe afraid of any of His gifts.
00:21:45.753 --> 00:21:48.189
Here's the second under thedynamic gifts,
00:21:48.289 --> 00:21:50.791
gifts of healings.
00:21:50.891 --> 00:21:52.993
Gifts, plural, ofhealings, plural.
00:21:53.094 --> 00:21:57.531
Gifts of healings aresupernatural endowments
00:21:57.631 --> 00:22:01.035
of divine health.
00:22:01.135 --> 00:22:02.937
Supernatural endowmentsof divine health.
00:22:03.037 --> 00:22:06.574
I read this summer abiography of Oral Roberts.
00:22:06.674 --> 00:22:11.846
And I know people have goodand bad, and I understand that.
00:22:11.946 --> 00:22:14.415
And so, just for a momentlet's forget whatever
00:22:14.515 --> 00:22:16.984
you've heard or whateveryou feel personally.
00:22:17.084 --> 00:22:20.054
But one of the reasons thathe preached healing
00:22:20.154 --> 00:22:21.989
is because he was healed.
00:22:22.089 --> 00:22:23.958
When he was 17-years-old, he hadtuberculosis and at that time,
00:22:24.058 --> 00:22:27.628
they did not know ofany person that had been healed
00:22:27.728 --> 00:22:29.663
from tuberculosis.
00:22:29.764 --> 00:22:31.365
It was a death sentence.
00:22:31.465 --> 00:22:32.833
There was no vaccinationand he was going to die.
00:22:32.933 --> 00:22:36.404
And his uncle or hisbrother, I've read two
00:22:36.504 --> 00:22:38.572
different accounts, buttook him to a meeting
00:22:38.672 --> 00:22:41.542
to be prayed for.
00:22:41.642 --> 00:22:42.643
And he was lying in thebackseat, he was --
00:22:42.743 --> 00:22:45.346
from weeks within dying, and theLord said to him, "I'm going
00:22:45.446 --> 00:22:48.482
to heal you tonight, but Iwant you take my message
00:22:48.582 --> 00:22:51.485
of healing to the world andI want you to build
00:22:51.585 --> 00:22:54.054
a university where youngpeople can be trained
00:22:54.155 --> 00:22:56.924
in a Christian atmosphere."
00:22:57.024 --> 00:22:59.126
And he built, of course,Oral Roberts University, ORU.
00:22:59.226 --> 00:23:01.862
So, but that's whyhe preached healing.
00:23:01.962 --> 00:23:05.199
So, whether you like him ornot, the reason he preached
00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:07.034
healing, it's becausehe got healed.
00:23:07.134 --> 00:23:09.904
And let me just say this, Iknow many people
00:23:10.004 --> 00:23:11.505
had this negative connotation,"Well, we shouldn't talk
00:23:11.605 --> 00:23:14.275
too much about healing."Okay.
00:23:14.375 --> 00:23:16.477
People have that connotationuntil you --
00:23:16.577 --> 00:23:18.813
they get sick or someone intheir family gets sick.
00:23:18.913 --> 00:23:27.254
And it's not a badthing if God heals you.
00:23:27.354 --> 00:23:30.491
That is not a bad thing.
00:23:30.591 --> 00:23:31.926
That's a good thing.
00:23:32.026 --> 00:23:33.060
And this is one of thegifts of the Holy Spirit.
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.064
And again, this doesn't meanthat you have a gift that you
00:23:37.164 --> 00:23:39.867
go around and everyoneyou pray for gets healed.
00:23:39.967 --> 00:23:42.369
This means thatyou get healed.
00:23:42.470 --> 00:23:43.971
This is -- gifts ofhealings, plural,
00:23:44.071 --> 00:23:46.907
it means every one of them isimportant to God.
00:23:47.007 --> 00:23:48.943
And here's the last one,working of miracles.
00:23:49.043 --> 00:23:52.980
Working of miracles, divineintervention that alters
00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:57.117
our natural circumstances.
00:23:57.218 --> 00:23:59.553
Divine intervention that altersour natural circumstances.
00:23:59.653 --> 00:24:03.724
How many of you, at sometime in your life,
00:24:03.824 --> 00:24:06.827
have experienced a miracle?
00:24:06.927 --> 00:24:09.230
Would you put your hand up?
00:24:09.330 --> 00:24:10.531
Now, keep themup for a moment.
00:24:10.631 --> 00:24:11.599
Look around.
00:24:11.699 --> 00:24:13.701
Isn't that amazing?Okay.
00:24:13.801 --> 00:24:15.069
You can put your hands down.
00:24:15.169 --> 00:24:17.238
How in the world would weever believe that God
00:24:17.338 --> 00:24:19.373
quit doing miracles?
00:24:19.473 --> 00:24:22.142
Let me just say something.
00:24:22.243 --> 00:24:23.177
There's no way He can stopdoing miracles,
00:24:23.277 --> 00:24:25.112
because He can't stop being God.
00:24:25.212 --> 00:24:27.414
And God is a miraculous God.
00:24:27.515 --> 00:24:29.450
When He gets up in themorning, He does a miracle.
00:24:29.550 --> 00:24:33.687
If He wants coffee, He says,"Let there be coffee."
00:24:33.787 --> 00:24:35.890
That's the way Hegets His coffee.
00:24:35.990 --> 00:24:39.360
He is a miraculous God.
00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:42.096
He did miracles all throughthe Old Testament,
00:24:42.196 --> 00:24:44.298
all through the New Testament.
00:24:44.398 --> 00:24:46.300
Why would He haveever stopped?
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:47.635
And let me justsay something.
00:24:47.735 --> 00:24:48.802
If you've been saved,you've had a miracle.
00:24:48.903 --> 00:24:52.072
You've had a supernaturalintervention in your life
00:24:52.172 --> 00:24:54.875
that altered yourcircumstances.
00:24:54.975 --> 00:24:56.677
[Applause]
00:24:56.777 --> 00:25:00.581
So, I want us to notbe afraid of these.
00:25:03.017 --> 00:25:05.586
Any believer can movein any of these anytime
00:25:05.686 --> 00:25:09.890
when the Holy Spiritempowers us.
00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:11.358
ROBERT: God is a God of miraclesand He's also a good God
00:25:12.126 --> 00:25:16.730
that gives Hischildren good gifts.
00:25:16.830 --> 00:25:19.967
The Bible says, "That everygood and perfect gift
00:25:20.067 --> 00:25:23.437
comes from the Father."
00:25:23.537 --> 00:25:24.805
And that's where the wordcharismatic comes from that we
00:25:24.905 --> 00:25:27.741
talked about that God isa God who gives us gifts
00:25:27.841 --> 00:25:31.445
and the gifts of the Holy Spiritare absolutely nothing to be
00:25:31.545 --> 00:25:35.849
afraid of, but they aregifts that help us to live
00:25:35.950 --> 00:25:39.653
the Christian lifehere on this earth.
