Dear ones,
I understand that we are discussing speaking in tongues and having ability to interpret them.
Let us be mindful of what we have heard:
All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills. -1 Corinthians 12:11
Dear ones,
The operation of gift of tongue, whether its form, use, discipline, freedom are EMPOWERED by Holy Spirit whom the Lord has given to us.
Dear ones,
Let us be mindful that the Holy Spirit is the one who apportions to each one of us individually, not as we will as but as He, the Holy Spirit wills.
Dear ones,
why I want to remind you to be mindful, for we have heard:
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. -Matthew 12:31
Dear ones, I understand that you are discussing the gift of tongue, whether its form, use, discipline and freedom — dear ones, be careful not to judge those who use the gift or the gift, lest you be found to commit blasphemy against the Spirit.
Yes, I perceived that you have heard what apostle John have said :
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. -1 John 4:1
Yes dear ones, we are not to believe every spirit but to test the spirits to see whether they are from God, but we are also reminded to be mindful not to judge.
Dear ones, let us not name “mocking names” to our brethren in Christ. Dear ones, are we not called to love one another? Didn’t apostle Paul tell us to use the gift in the way of love of Christ ? Yes, he did, dear ones. Dear ones, let us not be bad examples to those who recently received the gift of tongue.
Dear ones,
Didn’t our Lord realize what people say about gift of tongue? He did. This is also what we have heard:
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" -Matthew 16:13
And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." -Matthew 16:14
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" -Matthew 16:15
So dear ones, who do people say that REVIVAL IS? Some say revival of Hebrides, others say revival of John Wesley, Charles Wesley, George Whitefield in England or revival of the Pentecostal in Azusa street.
Dear ones, what would you say to the Lord,” But who do you say that revival is ?”
Dear ones, the revival is the Holy Spirit,
and on the spiritual rock, that is, Christ —the Holy Spirit will build His church and the gates shall not prevail against it.
Dear ones,
are you concerned about what the Holy Spirit have said :
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, -1 Timothy 4:1
through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, -1 Timothy 4:2
Dear ones,
Are not more reasons for us to be united in one Spirit of God, to be likeminded in Christ and striving for the faith of the gospel? Yes.
Dear ones, I understand that many are disgusted at the sight of demons working in Toronto blessings but in the beginning it was not so.
Dear ones, let us not mock and scorn Toronto blessings but prayed for our brethren with love, that they may be delivered from the oppression of the enemies.
For we heard:
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard Him thus no longer. -2 Corinthians 5:16
Let us not regard Toronto blessings according to the flesh. For we also heard:
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. -Galatians 6:1
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. -Galatians 6:2
Dear ones, didn’t many consider Toronto blessings caught in transgression ? Dear ones, let us humble ourselves before God, that He may give us the strength to restore our brethren in Toronto blessings in a spirit of gentleness. Let us bear their burden. Thus we fulfill the law of Christ.
Dear ones, let us remember:
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. -1 Corinthians 12:7
So dear ones,
Let us use the gift for the common good of our brethren for all things in Christ, that the Holy Spirit leads us.
To God be glory. Amen
