GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT.


> You will have to mention the gifts of the spirit if you want to
explain the
> remarkable abilities which express themselves in a divine sense
and which are
> also recognised as divine by everyone who is spiritually inclined
himself.
> For I Myself promised these gifts to those who aspire after them
and fulfil
> the conditions required by Me for the working of the spirit.
My spirit
> manifests itself in various ways, always depending on the degree of
the soul
> maturity and the task given to a person who receives a gift of the
spirit. There
> are many different gifts. but it is always an unusual activity
for which a
> person is gifted. an activity he could not perform as a mere
human being. He
> needs My support for this, he has to acquire My strength, which
will then
> take effect in a person as the gift of healing, or the gift of
prophesy, or the
> gift to receive the truth from Me and spread it in My name…. or,
the gift of
> oratory inspired by Me, so that I Myself can speak through the
spirit, but
> using the mouth of a person who received from Me this gift to hear
Me.
>
>
> And when you draw people’s attention to the different gifts I
mentioned,
> also through the spirit, they will have to recognise that you not
only possess a
> special ‘ability. which admittedly could also be given to
you as a talent
> by your Creator. but that you gained this ability through
spiritual means,
> that it cannot be given arbitrarily to anyone who cannot show that
he
> fulfilled the condition to receive it. And such an ability can even
less be gained
> academically. People are indeed called and could all spiritually
shape
> themselves such that they could receive a gift of the spirit….
but not all are
> chosen, precisely because they do not recognise their calling and
therefore do
> not strive for spiritual gifts either…. On the other hand,
however, only these
> gifts are the evidence of a spiritually- inclined way of life, of a
person’s
> specific degree of maturity and love, because My spirit can only
work in him
> when he has attained this degree of maturity. After all, if people
never find
> out that everyone can gain a gift of the spirit, they will not
believe the
> messages from above to the extent they deserve, for they cannot
explain them
> properly and therefore doubt every unusual manifestation of the
spirit.
>
>
> Indeed, people even go as far as to deny spiritual gifts as divine
activity
> altogether and condemn everything unusual as being associated with
Satan….
> And yet they thereby only give evidence of their own poverty, for
where the
> working of My spirit can no longer by recognised there is no sign
of ‘My church
> either, of the church which I Myself founded on earth. My
Church only
> exists where the working of My spirit is evident, because My
spirit testifies
> to My presence, and because I will always be present where people
sincerely
> strive to progress spiritually and are thus able to receive or show
a gift of
> the spirit. And therefore it will only ever be of benefit when you
mention the
> gifts of the spirit, when you proclaim My Gospel…. when you
remind people of
> My Words ‘I shall pour out My spirit over all flesh, and servants
and
> maidens shall prophesy ....’ Everyone of My promises will be
fulfilled, and thus
> also this one…. Hence every expression of unbelief should only
ever be countered
> with My promise, and people should know that My working will
become
> particularly evident during the last days, and that then
everything will also come to
> pass as it was announced in Word and Scripture…. Amen
