INSPIRED WORD
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT – TOOLS FOR EMPOWERMENT
Message in Tongue and Interpretation
MESSAGE IN TONGUES
INTERPRETATION My people, you say, I don't have that gift. You are right. It is not you; it is me. So, do not be afraid. Step out in faith. It is not you and what you can do. It is the power of the Holy Spirit that I give you to fulfill my kingdom.
MESSAGE IN TONGUES
INTERPRETATION You are my chosen ones. I am here with you. I have anointed you. Trust in me.
INSPIRED SCRIPTURE May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditations be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the Lord.
CONFIRMATION VISION During that song, I had a vision of the whole globe all aglow, like the sunset that is happening now. I just envisioned that somewhere, all of the time, all over the world, there is some group or groups who are praising the Lord and it is emanating in His face and He looks upon it and smiles.
EXHORTATION The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you are to say.
EXHORTATION When we ask the Holy Spirit to come with such power and such vigor, He says yes. He changes lives. He changed the lives of the apostles in the upper room and he changes our lives too. He changes us from whatever it is that we have come here with. He changes us to be confident in Him, to be bold in Him, to be changed in Him. So, expect Him to change us.
PROPHECY I welcome you. Now be open to feel me in your heart. Do not be afraid. I am with you.
CONFIRMATION WORD OF KNOWLEDGE Earlier, I had the sense that the Lord was trying to inspire us to not be afraid, that it is His word. We need to speak the truth.
CONFIRMATION
Col. 3: 8-14 But, now you also put off all of these – anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him. For there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things, put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
PROPHECY (in song) Lay it down now, at my feet. Lay it down now. You are free. No more burden, no more struggle. Lay it down now, at my feet.
CONFIRMATION SCRIPTURE Ps. 4 Give yourself to the Lord. Trust in Him and He will help you. He will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun. Be patient and wait for the Lord to act. Be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil places. Don't be given to worry or anger. It only leads to trouble. Those who trust in the Lord will possess the land, but the wicked will be driven out.
CONFIRMATION
Jere. 23: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David. As king he shall reign and govern wisely. He shall do what is just and right in the land. In those days, Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him, the Lord our Justice. Therefore, the days will come, says the Lord, when they shall no longer say, As the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, but rather, as the Lord lives who brought descendents of the house of Israel up from the land of the north and from all the lands which I banish them. They shall again live on their own land.
Lk. 6: 20 Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven.
