Divine Help To Find Your Place

**************************************************************************************

Earlier I asked you the question, “Where do you fit in?”

Where do you fit in the plan of redemption laid out

before the foundation of the world, hidden in a mystery

in the heart of God? Are you called to be an apostle,

prophet, teacher, evangelist, or pastor? Are you called

to administer or to make millions to finance the

Gospel?

GOOD QUESTION…..AM NOT SURE!

As I said before, every believer, including you, fits

somewhere in the eight operations of God found in First

Corinthians 12:28. But how will you know where you fit

in? How will you keep from being deceived by the

enemy into trying to fill a place in the Body you are not

called to or are not yet prepared for?

That’s one of the reasons God gave us the foundational

eighth operation, diversities of tongues — to help us

discover His perfect plan for our lives. Through the

supernatural prayer language given to us and prayed

through us by the Holy Spirit, God imparts to our spirits

the mysteries hidden in Him throughout all the ages —

Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). Thank God for

divine assistance in finding our place in His great plan!

If not for praying in the Spirit for 2 years and beyond, I WOULD STILL BE DRIVING A SEMI TRUCK DELIVERING MARACHAAN NOODLES TO COSTCO STORES UP AND DOWN THE WEST COAST.

INSTEAD I PRAYED OUT THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD FOR MY LIFE FOR THOSE 18 YEARS OR SO AND THE SUPERNATURAL PLAN OF GOD THAT WAS IN THAT SUPERNATURAL LANGUAGE OF TONGUES FOR EDIFICATION (JUDE 20) HAD AUTHORITY OVER THIS NATURAL WORLD.

AND AT ONE POINT THE NATURAL WORLD

HAD TO…..NOT MIGHT HAPPEN… IT HAD TO

LINE UP WITH THE PLAN OF GOD THAT I HAD PRAYED OUT IN THE SPIRIT, AND OVER A PERIOD OF TIME IT DID COME INTO LINE WITH GODS PLAN FOR MY LIFE, AND I WAS SUPERNATURALLY ABLE ALSO BY HIS POWER AND GRACE TO FULFILL THAT PART OF THE PLAN.

Enter a caption

UNFORTUNATELY AT SOME POINT LIFE BECAME VERY HECTIC AND BUSY AND I STOPPED PRAYING IN TONGUES FOR EDIFICATION AND THE dEVIL WAS ABLE TO DO SOME STEALING FROM ME.

BUT THANK GOD NOW I AM BACK ON TRACK PRAYING AGAIN THE PERFECT PLAN OF GOD FOR WHAT EVER AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE LEFT ON THIS EARTH, AND HES ALREADY SHOWED ME SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN STORE.

SO NOW YOU CAN JOIN ME IN FULFILLING 2 MORE SCRIPTURES, JUDE 20, AND REDEEMING THE TIME FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL.

REDEEM MEANS TO TURN INTO SOMETHING OF VALUE, SO THE BEST WAY TO TURN OUR TIME INTO SOMETHING OF REAL VALUE IS TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.

(LB) hey folks this one is a little longer than most, but so important to put the whole thought into one blog.

**************************************************************************************

Diversities of Tongues:

The Foundational Operation

Now that we’ve looked in a general sense at the eight operations of God in First Corinthians 12:28, let’s focus on this eighth and final operation, the diversities of tongues.

I believe diversities of tongues is listed last in this scripture because it is the foundational operation. In the construction of a building, a foundation is the slab built to support the building from underneath. If the foundation is weak, the structure won’t stand the test of time nor weather the storms that beat against it. In the same way, diversities of tongues is the operation that the other seven rest upon.

Why do I say that? Well, think about this very carefully: Where is the dividing line between Christians who believe in the power of God and the gifts of the Spirit and those who do not? I can tell you exactly where it is. The dividing line between those who enjoy the power of God and those who don’t is in the eighth operation of God, the diversities of tongues.

Have you ever noticed that people who don’t speak with other tongues usually don’t operate in the other gifts of the Spirit either? On the other hand, people who do speak with tongues are more apt to operate in spiritual gifts. The more you study the matter, the more obvious it becomes: Speaking with other tongues is the dividing line. In fact, within many churches that don’t recognize tongues as a manifestation for this day and age, even the preaching of salvation has been lost.

is it over yet

Not only is diversities of tongues the dividing line, but it is actually the entry level to the operation of the spiritual gifts that empower the various offices and callings in the Body of Christ. It is the switch we are looking for that pulls the operation we are called to out of the natural realm into the supernatural power of God.

Why is that? Because speaking with other tongues is designed to equip us from the inside out. It affects the part of us from which all permanent change comes —the human spirit. So if a person refuses this eighth operation, he won’t have the spiritual empowerment to fulfill any of the other seven operations of God — at least not to the depth God desires for him.

For example, someone may be called to one of the ministry offices; he may even be a good intellectual communicator or lecturer about the Word of God. But it is through the diversities of tongues that the power of the Holy Spirit activates the operation he has been called to ful – fill. And if he refuses to receive God’s gift of speaking in other tongues, he is not allowing himself to become spiritually qualified for his office.

sorry folks…I am not really spiritually qualified

You see, as you pray in tongues, God will build an operation on the inside of you to qualify you for what He has called you to do. As He does, gifts will begin to operate through you that equip you for your particular call. For example, if I pray in the Holy Ghost a lot, God isn’t going to train me to be more skillful in carpentry or to perform brain surgery on someone. Those professions are not my calling.

He is going to equip me with the graces and gifts of the Spirit that I need to fulfill my call, which is to preach the Gospel.

That’s why the devil is so afraid of this eighth operation. Throughout history, it is the operation he has always tried hardest to discredit and remove from the Church.

The enemy doesn’t want you to pray in tongues. In fact, the less you find out about this foundational operation, the better he likes it. He doesn’t care if you play at being an apostle, prophet, evangelist, or pastor — as long as you never qualify for these offices through the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

He even rather enjoys deceiving men into building massive organizations of their own making, separate from the calling of God. Men put themselves in charge of these organizations so they can hand down doctrinal rulings as to what is and is not God. With self-deceived pride, they proclaim great, swelling mandates, such as “Tongues are not for today” or “Healing is not for everyone.” or it is now ok for homosexuals to be ordained.

The devil is a tactical genius. If he can’t remove tongues from some part of the Church, then he goes to step two of his plan: He tries to cause believers to enter into such fanaticism about tongues and hold such unruly, out-of-order services that the sinner doesn’t want much to do with them. Satan’s strategy is to confuse the use of tongues so greatly that the operation loses its effectiveness and credibility in the eyes of those who have been deceived by its misuse.

Think about it. What is it about tongues that scares the devil so badly? Why has he worked so hard to surround this gift with so much confusion? Paul himself dedicated an entire chapter, First Corinthians 14, to straightening out the error and confusion within the Early Church concerning this gift. No other gift or operation has an entire chapter dedicated to explaining its proper use.

I can tell you why the devil is so afraid: If anything is ever going to build within us an understanding of spiritual matters and to quench our hunger to know Jesus in an intimate relationship, it is this foundational operation of diversities of tongues. And as we have seen, this operation is the supernatural means God has provided for us to become spiritually qualified for any of the other operations that make up His government.

Therefore, Satan is very, very fearful of a people who will relentlessly pursue God through praying in tongues.

Where Do You Fit In?

No matter what God has called you to do in life, your

calling or “job description” can be found enveloped

within one or more of these eight operations of God.

And if you are born again, you are called to fill that

operation by the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Do you know which operation I’m called to fill,

Brother Roberson?” you may ask. No, I don’t know. The

measure of faith has been placed on the inside of you in

seed form (Rom. 12:3). Your calling is hidden in that

seed for you, not for me, to discover.

Ephesians 4:7 says,

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the

measure of the gift of Christ. A measure is part of a

whole. The “whole” that Paul is talking about here is

the Body of Christ. It is a Body with many members in

particular, each with an individual calling. Just as a

person’s physical body has many members with

different functions, such as hands, eyes, ears, a nose,

and a mouth, Paul says that the Body of Christ also

includes different operations that together make up the

whole.

What are you separated unto? What is your grace, your

measure, your part in the whole operation of the Body

of Christ? Whatever it is, God gives you grace for it.

That’s why Paul said this:

For I say, THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

— Romans 12:3

In essence Paul was saying, “I’m going to speak to you

according to the separation of God to my apostolic

office. I didn’t merit it. I didn’t deserve it. God not only

gave me the grace for my office — He gave me the faith

to fulfill it. Therefore, don’t think that you’re some kind

of special vehicle for God just because you’re called to a

certain office.”

Some ministers have the attitude, “I’m a mighty

apostle. Get me a Rolls Royce or the Rams football team

to exalt me, you poor, beat-up sheep. I’m a special

calling and gift that is given to you, so you better treat

me right.” It’s that type of attitude that Paul warned

about when he said, “Think of yourself soberly,

realizing that God is the One who has dealt to every

man the measure of faith for his calling and his office.

In fact, God not only gave you the grace to receive your

calling, He also gave you the grace to fulfill it.”

HEY….WHERE IS MY VANILLA ICE CREAM CONE?

Certain Gifts Qualify Each Operation

Remember, the nine gifts of the Spirit not only supply

the power, but they qualify these eight operations.

Someone may say, “I’m an apostle.” But unless a certain

blend of the nine gifts of the Spirit is working in his

calling, he is not an apostle.

Or a person may say, “Well, I’m a prophet.” But unless

he is qualified by the particular blend of the nine

spiritual gifts that qualifies and empowers the

prophetic office, that person is not a prophet.

sure I have a word for you…..50 $$$….and I will give you a word…..SUCKER !!!!!!!!

In fact, there seems to be a move abroad in the Body of

Christ in which many people think they are prophets,

but in truth they are not. Others think they are apostles

but are not.

These “self-acclaimed” people often attempt to operate

in certain gifts of the Spirit to prove their office. But

because they haven’t been qualified by the Holy Ghost

for that office, they mostly operate out of their own

fleshly nature. This is something I’ve found to be true

while traveling a long road of observation and

experience during more than twenty-five years of

ministry.

So we see that you can only qualify for a particular operation if certain gifts are working in your calling.

But what about the eighth operation, diversities of

tongues? Well, it stands to reason that you can only

qualify and fulfill this eighth operation if you are

baptized in the Holy Ghost and speak with other

tongues!

ACTS 29 TODAY

coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH

**************************************************************************************

(LB) well now we are into some things that were always a little difficult for me to understand, but Dave does it in such a way that its easily understandable. You might have to read it a few times to get it but it is understandable, so lets get on with it and learn some more great stuff, enjoy the meal.

The Gifts Empower and Qualify the Offices

The verses we just read in Ephesians 4 list the “fivefold

ministry gifts” that we hear so much about. The nine

gifts of the Spirit empower and qualify these five

offices. You see, God meant for every person called to

one of these ministry offices to preach the Word with

signs following (Mark 16:20). God never intended for

the preaching of His Word to seem powerless.

is it over yet

The spiritual gifts empower the ministry offices much

the same way a power plant supplies power to the

various appliances in a home. Each appliance is

designed to perform a different function, yet each is

hooked up to the same power plant.

In a similar way, one “wire” runs to the apostle, another

to the prophet, and still another to the pastor, but each

ministry office is hooked up to the Holy Ghost. When

God’s power is switched on, then just as surely as a

toaster acts one way and a blender acts another, the

Holy Spirit anoints different offices with particular

blends of the nine gifts of the Spirit.

These blends of spiritual gifts working in the fivefold

ministry are what qualifies a person to stand in a

ministry office and determines which office it will be

And God hath set some in the church, first APOSTLES,

secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly TEACHERS, after that

MIRACLES, then GIFTS OF HEALINGS, HELPS,

GOVERNMENTS, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES.

— 1 Corinthians 12:27,28

The eight operations mentioned in verse 28 are in

divine order. In this listing, the government of God

begins with the office of the mighty apostle, the first

operation, followed by the prophet and the teacher.

The evangelists and pastors mentioned in Ephesians

4:11 are then replaced in First Corinthians 12 with

miracles and gifts of healings. These gifts of the Spirit

are the primary ones that empower and qualify the

evangelistic and pastoral offices. (The entry level into

the fivefold ministry gifts is also at the level of working

of miracles and gifts of healings because

all five ministry offices — apostle, prophet, evangelist,

pastor, and teacher — should be equipped with these

two gifts of the Spirit.)

*********************************************************

(LB) well i just have to say here that now you can see why there are so many supposed 5 fold ministers that are really not 5 fold at all, because they don’t have the gifts needed to operate in the office and sadly there are many in this category, business card ministries only.

*********************************************************

Next is the operation of helps, which handles the

physical and material aspects of the ministry. One very

important helps calling is what I call the

“entrepreneurship of the simplicity of giving.” A person

called to fulfill this operation is someone of means who

has the capacity in his character and his calling to be

used by God to pour thousands, if not millions, into the

Kingdom of God for the governments of the Church.

R G gave 90% away and lived on 10%

Helps is followed by governments or administrations,

which includes the organizational skills and gifts

needed in the Church. For instance, a person called to

this operation may be able not only to organize a

massive prayer meeting of ten thousand people, but to

make sure that the little believer on the outer

perimeter of the crowd has everything he needs

to grow in his spiritual walk.

Both helps and governments support those who

minister the Word of God by doing many of the natural

things that ministers don’t have time to do, such as

running businesses, etc. Under girding everything else

is the final and foundational operation, the diversities

of tongues.

So in these eight operations of God, we find not only

that the five fold ministries are all included, but that

the nine gifts of the Spirit are also poured out into all

the operations, from the apostle all the way to the

eighth operation of diversities of tongues.

*********************************************************

ACTS 29 TODAY

coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH

**************************************************************************************

“This anointing didn’t come on you because of your calling, your creed,

your color, or your nation. It came upon you because you have

uncovered a spiritual law: praying in other tongues for your personal

edification. That law carries with it an ironclad guarantee to build you

up on your most holy faith in your spirit — that part of you from which

faith comes.

“You have found something you can do on purpose to edify yourself —

as much as you want to, as long as you want to, whenever you want to.

Through praying in the Holy Ghost, you can build yourself up above a

walk where your physical senses hold you in checkmate and convince

you that God’s Word isn’t so, to a walk that is vibrant, Spirit-charged,

and free in the Holy Ghost.”

After being so hungry for God’s power for so long, I had accidentally

uncovered one of the most important keys to growing in devil-

stomping, mountain-moving faith — praying in tongues for personal

edification. And do you think that after finding such a major key to

unlock divine mysteries, anyone could keep me out of my prayer

closet? Not a chance! I had a divine plan for my life to discover!

**************************************************************************************

the Lord revealed to me that I had uncovered a

spiritual law regarding tongues for personal

edification. I immediately began to take advantage of

what I learned that day. And as I continued to pray in

the Spirit and study the Word, more revelation came.

But the more I learned, the more I came to realize that

speaking in other tongues was not only a spiritual law

uncovered; it was also a spiritual foundation upon

which everything else regarding spiritual gifts and

their operation rested.

Understanding Spiritual Gifts

Let’s look at the role that praying in other tongues plays

in God’s government. To do that, we’ll have to go to

First Corinthians chapter 12, where Paul outlines the

operation of the Holy Spirit in the gifts, offices, and

callings of the entire Body of Christ. He begins by saying

in verse 1:

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Now, I do know this about the Holy Spirit: He would not

inspire Paul to make a statement like that and then

leave us ignorant! In the discussion following that

statement, Paul by the Holy Ghost supplies all the

information necessary to eradicate any spiritual

ignorance, misconceptions, or religious error we may

have concerning the operation of spiritual gifts.

Personally, if there is one subject I don’t want to be

ignorant about, it is the operation of the gifts of the

Spirit. But, to be frank with you, this is one of the areas

in which this generation of believers is most lacking.

We who are Full Gospel faith people often pride

ourselves in knowing a great deal about the gifts of the

Spirit. It’s too bad we haven’t prided ourselves more in

knowing how to operate in those nine gifts!

I know about them….bu..bu..but..not sure HOW TO OPERATE IN THEM..OOPS!!

Satan, the great deceiver, has successfully spread

confusion and division regarding this  passage of

Scripture in First Corinthians 12 — so much so that

entire denominations have split over different

interpretations of the operation of spiritual gifts and

the offices they empower. So it would profit us to make

a careful examination of what Paul is teaching the

Corinthian church in these verses.

In First Corinthians 12:4-6, Paul says this:

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit,

And there are differences of administrations, but the

same Lord. And there are diversities of operation, but it

is the same God which worketh all in all.

What is Paul saying? Well, we know that the “gifts” he is

talking about in verse 4 are the nine gifts of the Spirit

listed in First Corinthians 12:8-10: 1) the word of

wisdom; 2) the word of knowledge; 3) the gift of faith; 4)

gifts of healings; 5) working of miracles; 6) prophecy; 7)

discerning of spirits; 8) divers (or different

supernatural manifestations of tongues; and 9)

interpretation of tongues.

But what does verse 5 mean when it says, And there are

differences of administrations, but the same Lord? To

understand what Paul is talking about in this verse, we

have to go to Ephesians 4:8 and 11, where it says this:

Wherefore he saith, When he [Jesus] ascended up on

high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto

men….And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;

and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.

In other words, there are different administrations or

offices in the Body of Christ, such as apostle, prophet,

teacher, pastor, and evangelist. But it is the same Lord

Jesus Christ who ascended on high and gave those gifts

or offices to men.

Then in First Corinthians 12:6, it says, And there are

diversities of operations, but it is the same God which

worketh all in all. So Paul is simply saying this: It is the

Holy Spirit who determines how the nine gifts of the

Spirit and the ministry offices operate. It is Jesus Christ

who sets each person into his or her respective office or

calling. And it is God the Father who supplied the

original plan.

**************************************************************************************
