| Do Not Quench The Spirit – Part 21

The Scriptures tell us in 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.  In 1 Thessalonians 5:19 – 21 we are told, “Do not quench the Spirit.  Do not despise prophecies.  Test all things; hold fast what is good.”  From these passages of Scripture, we can readily see that the Lord does not want us to be in the dark when it comes the ministry of the Holy Spirit in His church today.  Jesus told us in the book of John 14:16-18 that He would be leaving but that He would send us another helper, the Holy Spirit.  Many in the church today do not understand the operation of the Holy Spirit.  In this series we are going to discover from the Scriptures the importance of a Holy Spirit filled church.  A church that has knowledge of the gifts of the Spirit.  A church that lives in intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit and senses His promptings in ministering to the church and the world around them.  Let’s come together and desire, discover, and develop in the giftings of the Holy Spirit.

Part 21 –We made it!! In this message we wrap up our series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  In this message we discuss the Word Of Knowledge and the Discerning Of Spirits.

The Word Of Knowledge – The word of knowledge is the supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit of certain facts in the mind of God.

The word of knowledge brings revelation concerning things past or present, it is never about the future, that is the word of wisdom. 

Discerning Of Spirits – The discerning of spirits is a gift that gives insight into the spirit world.  It is supernatural insight into the realm of spirits both good and bad.  The discerning of evil spirits is included, but too many people have thought discerning of evil spirits is all this gift refers to, and so they have been misled.
