1 Corinthians 14 - The Operations of the Manifestations (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 6)
Manage episode 433454848 series 3575558
1 Corinthians chapter 14cis the only place in the Bible where the Word of God sets in proper order and usage the three manifestations of the spirit that are used in worship, namely: speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophecy. The church in Corinth had been off the ball in the operation of the manifestations. And so, God, by
Paul, has set this 14th chapter in here to straighten out the error, to straighten out the confusion. And it does just that.
You know, in chapter 12, God told us about things of the spirit, or spiritual matters, how some of them were charismata, gifts of God's grace, vertically. Others were manifestations as they ministered to God's people. Then, in chapter 13, we were informed that all of these manifestations operate effectively, as well as the ministries, if we
have the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. Then it will bless, not only the one ministering, but the one receiving, and the one receiving as well as the one ministering. What good is it if my ministry blessed you and it didn't bless me? Then I'd be the loser. And God never set up His program for the church for anybody who
ministered to be a loser.
