We go to the book of Ephesians. We'll be dealing

with Ephesians chapter number four. If you will, chapter number four,

and we will read in your hearing today versus number

seven through versus number sixteen. When you have that, stand

to your feet for the reading of God's word.

Hallelujah.

All right, y'all, give me out the valley, Give me

a little highs well, I breathe too hard.

Hallelujah. Amen.

Ephesians chapter number four, beginning at verse number seven through

verse number sixteen.

Amen.

When you have it, say amen. So it's important for

us to understand this is that he says. But you

got to understand the word. But when it comes to

expository preaching, these little words mean a lot because you

really don't understand the text without understanding.

Conjunctions and how conjunctions.

Function and how the writer put the scripture together. It

is this conjunct of but that says, now something is contrast,

or it rebuttals what was said before. But here it

has another notation because it does not bring something that contrast,

but diversity. And so he says, but unto every one

of us given grace according to the measure of the

gift of Christ. Tell your neighbors, said, neighbor, all of

us are gifted by Christ. Oh God, I wish you

would clap your hands right there were going to money, Hallelujah.

I say, we're going somewhere, he said.

Wherefore, he said, when he ascended upon how he led

captivity captive, and he did what he gave gifts unto men,

can I include also to women?

Amen? So to men and women.

Not that he ascended what is at first, But he

also defended, descended first into the lower.

Parts of the earth.

And then he said, he that descended is the same

also that send it up far above all heavens, that

he might feel all things.

That's just not just locally, but universally. Amen. And this

is what he did.

He gave some apostles, gave some prophets, some evangelists, some

pastors and teachers. And the reason he gave it is

because for the perfection of the saints, for the work

of the ministry, and for the edifying of the Body

of Christ. And we'll do that none stop until we

come into the unity of the faith, and then the

knowledge of the Son of God into a perfect man

unto the measure and the stature of the fullness of Christ.

And he says here the reason we need that that

we hencefor will be no more children tossed to and

fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by

the slate of men and kinnie craftiness, whereby they lie

in wait for and to deceive. But this is what

we do, speaking the truth and love, that we may

want grow up into Him, shot that when we grow

up and to Him in all things, which is ahead,

even Christ. And so it continues, and say, from whom

the whole body, fitly joined together and compacted by that

which every joint supplied, according to the effectual working in

the measure of every part, make an increase of the

body unto the edifying of itself in love. Today I

would like to talk from the subject let your gifts

flow in.

Order to help the Church grow. Hallelujah.

Let your gifts flow in order to help the Church grow.

And so when we talk about growth, we're not just

talking about quantity in numbers, but we also talking about

quality in other words, and numbers and quantity deals with numbers,

with quality deals with us growing up in Christ into

spiritual maturity. God has given us gifts in order for

us to function according to the Word of God is

that you don't have to look far from how to

grow your church.

Let me say that again. Look around, look around, look

around at your church.

All right, Tell your neighbors and neighbor you don't have

to look far to know how to grow your church

because the gift is in you to make it happen.

Oh God, I wish I had somebody. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Because

the church is not gonna grow by itself. The church

is gonna grow because of gifted individuals who's in the

church to operate in the and into the order of

God to help the church to do what it's called

to do. So we thank God now that we're gonna

let our gifts flow to help the church grow. Anybody

interested in seeing the church grow, Nobody interested in growing

themselves spiritually in maturity.

Hallelujah. Amen. So, Father God, we.

Thank you again as we thank you for what eyes

have seen, our years i've heard. We thank you for

your presence, thank you for the sweet communion of the

Holy Ghost to help.

Us to teach and preach the word of God.

We thank you God, because you have given us by

the power of the God, this scripture, this word Amen,

to help our people do what we're called to do,

and we thank you for it.

In Jesus' name.

We pray Amen high five at least seven people and

tell them let it flow, let it flow, let it flow.

Tell them to let it flow what somebody shall let

it flow. Amen.

Repeat this after me. This is my Bible.

It contains basic instructions given to me before I leave Earth.

It is God's revelation of his plan, power and provision

to transform my life, to conform me into the image

of his dear son, Jesus Christ, and to translate me

from darkness that's ignorance, into his marvelous life, that's knowledge.

Lift up your hands, say today I will be talked

the word of God. Today I will learn the word

of God. Today I will be equipped with the word

of God for the perfecting of the saints, for the

work a ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ.

Until we all come into the unity of the faith

and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto

maturity of the perfect Man, unto the measure of the

stature and the fullness of Christ. Lift up your Bible

and say this is my Bible. Amen, you can be

seated in the presence of the Lord. We thank God

as we are closing our Thanksgiving see season as far

as Thanksgiving is concerned, and we are so impressed of

those who had an opportunity for our young ministers to

come and share a man topical message on Thanksgiving where

we not blessed? Were we blessed by them?

A man? Clap your hands for them, hollylujah.

Well, I tell you that God is raising up a

generation now that understands and that would understand that everything

that we do is centered around Christ. And so as

we enter into this next season in which we Christmas,

we want to remember that Christmas is not just about

opening gifts and exchanging gifts, but it's about the greatest

gift that God gave us, which is the gift, which

is Christ Jesus. But I do understand that well it

comes to Christmas that so many people have some ins

and outs and some negative and some positive things about

Christmas and especially about exchanging gifts of such.

But I want to just kind of teach you just

a little bit that.

When we think about exchanging gifts, where did the Christians,

where did we pick that up that we can exchange gifts?

If you can remember, it was the may Guy. It

was the three wise men that came to Jesus. Remember

they came to Jesus and they had with them some

frank consins. They had some mirror, and they had some

other items with them, and they gave it to the king.

They exchanged the gifts.

So Christians picked up this concept, this principle that when

it comes to Christmas, it is an opportunity for us

to exchange gifts. But don't you know that even though

we give gifts that oftentimes people who give the gift,

the people who receive the gift may not want the gift.

Can I get a witness?

It's important that when we talk about receiving and giving gifts,

that are some folks that God is trying to give

a gift too, but they not necessarily want to receive

the gift. God has given us all everybody a gift,

but it's up to us to receive the guilt. But

before we can receive the gift, we first have to

accept the gift. If we don't accept the gift, then

we'll never receive the gift.

That God has for us.

Let me tell you that the gift that God has

given us has great value, and it's important for us

to look into what God has given us as gifts

in order to be a blessing to the body of Christ.

Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, you are gifted. You are gifted.

You are gifted, you are gifted. So we understand that

when we open up the gift. As we open the gift,

some people will use the gift, but other peoples will

neglect the gift.

Some people receive a gift.

That they really really won't and then some people receive

a gift and say they really don't need that. Believe

it or not, there's some Christmas gifts that's still at

your house, that are.

Still in the package.

That's still some gifts that somebody gave you that you

never did use.

That's some gifts that you wanted that you never did receive.

Can I get a witness in here, hallelujah? Let me

just be honest with you.

But yet, a gift is something that you didn't pay for,

is something that that was a gift that was gifted

to you.

That means that you didn't earn it.

But somebody was thinking of you and a man in

order to give you something that will either benefit you,

help you, or put a smile on your face. So

it's important as we think about this, is that Christ

himself has given us the greatest gifts in the world.

Can I tell you today that the Church is the

richest entity on planet Earth because of the gift of Christ.

Oh God, I wish I had a witness here.

Yeah, the Church is the richest entity on the planet

Earth because when we think about it, we think about

the Church who has been blessed with all spiritual blessings

in heavenly places. In other word, he blessed us by

choosing us. He blessed us by adopting us. He blessed

us by forgiving us.

Of all of our sins. I wish somebody ought'd be

happy about the givet.

He blessed us by enriching us with his wisdom and

with his knowledge. Yes, he has blessed us to be saved,

to be delivered, to to be his heritage, to be his.

Children, hallelujah.

And also to receive an inheritance, an inheritance a man

that man can't steal, hallelujah. And to understand that we've

been given this wonderful, wonderful gift. It is our opportunity

not only to hold on to the gift that Christ

has given us, but to also share this gift with

the world, to your neighbors and neighbor. You ought to

share your gift with other people. Hallelujah. God gifted us

so that we can share our gifts among of the people.

And that's why the apostle Paul says, hey, man, you

got to understand the richest of the mysteries of Christ.

When you understand the mystery of the riches of Christ,

you will understand how valuable your gifts really are.

Hallelujah. And so he says, now that we have been

given the.

Manifold wisdom of God, how in order to preach number one,

to preach the Gospel to every soul that's on the

face of the earth. It is now also the manifold

wisdom of God to use the church, somebody to shout

the church, because it's the church that's gifted with the

gifts of Christ, not only to preach the gospel, but

also to bring salvation to them that are far off,

and to open up the door and to give access

to God's glory.

Anybody still needs some peace.

I don't care how much money you got, but can't

nobody give you peace like God can give you peace?

Hallelujah. Anybody needs some joy.

You might be happy with the things you got, but

can't nobody restore the joy of your salvation. But God,

it is his righteousness, it's his holiness that the Church

can share with the world.

So that they can be saved.

So we got to live up to the standard of

the lifestyle of the kingdom.

Members and citizens of the kingdom of the rich and famous.

Why don't you high five your neighbor real quick and

tell them you're rich and your famous. Tell them you're

rich and your famous. Come on, you're rich and you're famous.

You're rich and you famous. You got enough to give away, hallelujah.

I wonder why we hoard everything in church and never

share it with the world. I wonder why we praise

God so highly, so mighty, but yet we don't praise

God on our jobs, and we don't praise God in.

The grocery store.

I wonder if the church is the only place that

we can share our gifts among people who already have

the gifts that we have.

Hallelujah.

It is important that we do have different gifts so

that we can edify the body of Christ. But the

gift that Christ has given us is a gift to.

Share with the entire world.

I don't know about you, but I want my brother

who's not saved to be Come on, hallelujah, hallelujah. I

want my brother to be saved. I want to share

the gift. I want to see my cousin delivered. I

want to see my homeboy healed in deliver Come on.

I wish I had somebody up in here that God

has given us gifts so that we can be a.

Blessing to the world.

I'm going somewhere with this hold on right there, hallelujah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why would you hold iverything.

That God has given you and not share that that

Christ himself came down through forty two generations because he

knew that he was the greatest gift in the entire world.

And he says, listen, I can't hold I can't hold

onto this jet in heaven. I need to come down

to the earth and go to them that are sitting

in darkness so I can share this light with them.

Come on, somebody, hallelujah. Oh, I wish I had somebody

that that's somebody yet sickening darkness. And you got a

gift within you to help them to get delivered. You

got a gift in you to help them to get hope.

You got a gift, Oh God, hallelujah. You gotta gift

to them. And you ain't on them to come to church. Now,

they ain't on the church to come to them. I

wish I had somebody that would remove yourself from under

the Christmas tree of your church. Come on, unravel your

gifts so that you can share your gift not only

with those that among you, but to those that are

in the world. Tell your neighbors and neighbor let your

give work to help the church. Let them flow, Let

them flow. You're rich and your famous. You're rich. You're famous.

You're rich your famous. You're rich your famous. You're rich

because's mercy. You're rich God's grace. You're rich with God's favor.

You're rich with God's annoyance it you're rich with God's promises.

Come on, I wish I could go on somebody that

just shout right now I know it ain't a shot

and kind of to But you're gifted. You're gifted, and

you anointed. Not only your gifted and annointed, but you

are also appointed for such a.

Time as this. Hallelujah.

So every time you come into the room, they gotta

know a gift just showed up.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Every time I walk into my house and my wife

is waiting on me, she better know, Oh God, a

gift just showed up. Hallnlujah, hallelujah. Don't be trying to

unwrap all your gift of leader. Hallelujah. Listen, when you

walk in the room, you got to recognize that a

gift just showed up. When I came into the House

of the Lord this morning, I heard the sound. I

just knew that I came among those who were gifted. Hallelujah.

When the songs was going on the words of exhortation.

I understand the gift of exhortation. I understand the gift

of praise and worship. I understand the gift of I

said yes to your will and to your way into

your work. Listen, when we came in, we came in

among the gifts. So I couldn't come in sad. I

don't know how you came in, but you can't come

in and here sad. When you come into a gift,

you know what happens when somebody kills you a gift

that you need, or give you a kill that you want,

or to give you a kill that's gonna help you.

Come on somebody, it'll cause you to put a smile

on your face. I come to tell you that Christ

is our kill, and He has gifted us to flow

so the church can grow. You are to kill God,

praise right there. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. And it's

important to understanding our gifts are working together, so we

don't have no big eyes.

And on the eths, hallelujah.

While young minners don't worry about preaching, I preaching one another.

If you do that, that's foolish. We do not compare

ourselves among ourselves. Everybody's gift is important. Who hallelujah. I

say everyone's gift is important. Wherever you are, whatever level

you own, you still important. I don't care if you

preach it, ton't want a head, You still important. I

don't care if you the thumb of the elbow. Come on, somebody, hallelujah,

you still important. Come on that help and curve somebody

to tell them you're important to this church. Come on,

oh no, come on, help me. I'm trying to get

somewhere with it. Tell them you important to this church.

This church can't grow if you're not here. This church

can't grow if you don't put into work. This church

can't go grow if you don't share your gift. Oh

you want to talk to somebody right now, because I.

See the room filling up even right now.

Because there's gift to people that God have called out

in order to see the church grow broth numerically and spiritually. Hallelujah.

Oh yeah, glory to God, so he says. But halleylujah,

But unto everyone of us, He's given this grace. Write

this down. Christ gave gifts to every man. Write that down.

He gave gilts to who to every man. Now, He

didn't give gifts just based on who you are. He

gave gifts according to his measure. You cannot I'm teaching now. Yeah.

He measured your character, he measured your stewardship.

He measured your ability.

He measured your maturity level to see if you can

handle what you've got now with the possibility some more later.

Tell your neighbor, said, neighbor, he gifted every man. He

gave this grace according to the measure of the gift

of Christ. So you gotta understand, according to your serviability,

he gives you a gilt. Let's go to the book

of Matthew twenty five, fourteen fifteen. Hallelujah, according to your

serviability Matthew twenty five, fourteen fifteen. And it says for

the kingdom of Heaven is as a man traveling into

a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto.

Them who's goods?

Come on, somebody, don't you hoard God's gifts? Hallelujah. Another

word is God who gifted you? Hallelujah. So he's travel

into a far country, he said, I gotta go away,

But as I go away, I'm gonna leave you something

in order to steal work, the work that I was work,

even as if I was still here. Hallelujah. Oh card, hallelujah.

He says, according to his own goods, read and unto

one he gave what five talents, and to another he

gave what two and to another he gave what according

to what.

There are several ability.

So when we think about the measure of the measure

of the Christ of gift, Christ of Christ, we got

to understand he gives according to our ability.

Hallelujah. You can't do no more.

Than what He's given you. You can't give no more

than what God has given you. Come on, somebody, but

it's important that you use what God has given you.

I wish I had somebody, hallelujah, Glory to God. Don't

compel to the one because you got one and the

other one got five. Well, it's according to your circle ability.

Come on, somebody.

He knows who can handle the five, because he knows

he can do something with that.

Halley lujah.

The truth of the matter is is that he's not

gonna put no more on then what you get bad hallelujah.

But he know that you can handle the one. He

wants you to do something with the one. He want

the one that got five to do something with the five,

the one who got two to do something with the two.

But you got to do something with it. Hallelujah. Tell

your neighbor you gotta do something with it. You gotta

do something with it. Hallelujah, hallelujah. You got to use

it or lose it. Hallelujah. Tell your naghbor, don't lose

your gift. Come on, somebody, hallelujah. If you don't step

in and do what God wants you to do, he

gonna call somebody else to do it. He'll take from

you and give it to somebody that's gonna put it

to use.

Hallelujah.

Oh God, I wish I had somebody right here. You

got to understand that he gives according to the measure

of the gift of Christ. He measured it according to

your maturity level, hallelujah, according to your servil ability. And

if you don't use it, he'll take it away. But

if you use it, I want to talk to you

or I'm gonna prophesy to somebody real quick. If you

use it, come on, if you use it, he'll cause

it to grow.

I wish I had somebody.

If you use it, he will cause it to crow,

and he'll give you watch this some more.

Haleynujah. I don't know about you. I don't want to lose.

Well, God has given me I said yes, Lord, Yes

to your will and to your way.

I said yes Lord, yes, I will trust you.

Oh you boy, to quit. Don't be singing songs. Don't

sing them songs if you don't really mean it. Blory

to God. I know you want things, but God have

already given you everything.

Oh, God has given you everything.

Now it's time for you to share what God has

given you. And the more you share it, the more

He give back to you. So that you don't have

to beat this courage along the way. It would encourage you,

to inspire you and empower you because you're using your gift.

The more you use your guilt, the more God will

bless you with more.

Isleelujah, hallelujah.

Not only does he give it according to your service

ability the cord, but he also give it according to

your character.

Tell your neighbor to your character. Hallelujah.

Listen, you wanna whole, you wanna do, You wanna say

the world, But if you say the world on your head,

it get so big you'll thank you God, hallelujah. Some

folk don't think they need to go through no kind

of process. No, God ain't gave you everything because he's

processing you hallylujah. He gotta process you before he processed

the gift. Hallelujah. Wish I had somebody up in here.

That's why I like a minister right listen. He didn't

just start doing what it doing. It took years of

development to get to the place who where he is today.

Those that where you are today, It took years of

development to get you where you are today.

Why because he don't want you to get a big head.

I thank God that he processes us. Hallelujah, hallelujah before

he gives us.

Hallelujah.

I wish I had somebody to give card praise right there, hallelujah.

Somebody to go to the Book of Romans twelve three

through four, hallelujah. Romans chopping number twelve verse three. Reason

why I say, through the grace giving unto me. This

is the Apostle Paul speaking, and he says, say, every

man that is among you, check this out. What it

is a not to think huh, don't think of himself

more highly behind that he ought to. Hallelujah. Sometime you

worried about you getting passed by and everybody else getting

an opportunity to come on. Just sit down on the

bench until card call you. Did you hear what I said?

Don't rush nothing, hallelujah. Don't build your own platform, He'll

build a platform for you.

I wish I had somebody up in here. Hallelujah.

I ain't brother, right, I ain't never pass out no

card for somebody to call me to preach. Come on, listen.

If if I'm called a preach, that's cause the Holy

Ghost put them on my I'm putting me on.

The heart and call me to preach.

Quit quit, quit looking and trying to make opportunities for

things to happen. Let God be called so that you

don't get no big head. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Man, you got

the looking you come on somebody, hallelujah. Don't you think

Holland more Holland than you ought to think. I don't

care what title you got. I don't care what position

you got. I don't care what role you got. You

a servant of the most high guard. I wish I

had somebody. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And the high you go up,

the greater servant you ought to be.

Oh, I know y'all, don't.

Hear that kind of preacher, because y'all used to seeing

preachers walking down the middle of the aisle and everybody's

standing up, and people throwing changing money at their feet

and gold change and cars, and.

How I know that's what you used to.

Now, when we got elevated in the spirit of God,

we became the servants of everybody.

Hallelujah. Jesus said, listen, you can't wash my feet.

Hallelujah. Even though I'm your leader. He didn't let his

disciples wash his feet. There's a wrong order for the

church to watch the pastor's feet.

The devil is a lie. Hallelujah.

It is the pastor's call to wash the disciples feet.

Oh God, y'all don't want to hear what I'm saying

up in there. Hallelujah, hallelujah. The more elevation God put

on you, the more humble you ought to come. I say,

the more elevation, because when you look back over life

and realize that Card chose me, He chose.

Us to go to Africa. He talked. You think I

got a big hit about that, I'm trying to think

about it. I done took Elder Johnson down. Now, who

from pork Ways drive and all this kind of stuff.

Listen only by the grace of Card that we're able to.

Do what Card has called us to do.

So we humble ourself under the mighty hand them God,

that he may exalt us and do season because it

is he. It is Christ himself who has given to us,

and he dealt to every man a measure of faith.

Because we understand for the next verse that we do

not all of us do not have the same office.

So we respect each other's gift. Tell you name, We

respect each other's gift He's given every one of us.

Tell your neighbors and neighbor.

I got a gift and I'm working it in my life.

Hollylu you tell other neighbors and neighbor you gotta get

and you better work it. Hallej you say you better

work it. Hallelujah, Glory to God. Let's go to the

Book of First Peter four and ten. According to Stewardship,

so we talked about to a serviability, so I can

according to his character. And then thirdly, according to Stewardship

of the matterifold grace of God, and the Bible says,

God said, I gifted you so that you can share

your gift with other people. To allow your gifts to flow,

so that the church may grow. Hallelujah. So it gets

to the next part. Break this down. Christ sacrifice his

life for some of the gifts. That now, Christ sacrifice

his life for some of the gifts. The Bible reads

in Ephesians for eight through ten. It says, wherefore, expository preacher,

when it gets to the word, wherefore means to investigate

look into it?

What is the surrounding? What is the historical fact of this?

He said?

Wherefore he said, when he ascended on high.

He said, he led.

Captivity captive, and he gave gifts unto men. Tell your

neighbors and neighbor, there are some specialized gifts that Christ

died for. Woo. Hallelujah gives that Christ went down to

the pits of Hell, took care of depth, sin and

the grave. As we relate to this particular scripture, it

relates to us as we investigate.

To Psalm sixty eight and eighteen.

It talks about the king who went to war for

his country. And when he went to war, the Bible said,

he's ascended on high.

Then he descended. In other words, he defeated the enemy.

He took the spoil from the enemy and gave it

to the constituents, to his people. In other words, when

we think about Christ, Christ who came down what he descended. First,

he descended into the pits of Hell in honor to

rob the depth o from all.

Of his power.

I wish I had somebody hallelujah, Glory to God. Somebody

about to get delivered in your house, because you're gonna

realize that Christ died for the gift that he gave you.

Hallelujah. So the Bible the glass that he went down

to the pits of hell.

He kicked the door open, took the keys of death

and hell her from the grave. And those who were

in Abraham Busom at that same time got up from

the grave. Listen, we're waiting on another resurrection, or resurrection

already happened. Not only did it happen for the Old

Testament saints, but some of us were dead in sin. Oh, God,

I wish I had somebody. I say, some of us

were dead in see. But when Christ got up from

the grave, Lujah, he got up with all power in

his hand, and he transferred that power in us.

I faint call for the power of card that.

He ascended, descended and ascended again, and he kills unto men.

Why because he said, I die for you for this.

In other words, he said, I'm not gonna leave the

church in a hopeless situation. I'm not gonna leave the

church defeated. I don't care if the church look like

is declining. Yeah, it is to understand that the church

belongs to me, and that the church is not built

upon the backbone the man Ah. But the church is

build upon the backbone of God. So you gotta understand

that no weapon formed against the church shall prosper. And

even though it shall be formed, but I come to

tell you the church all that it won't prosper. I

come to tell the church today that the thousands should

fall to your left and ten thousand should fall oh

to you right. Why because Christ himself died to give

us power and to give us gifts in order to

exemplify and to see the church move in power and

demonstration of the Holy goos. So the Bob of the

class because of these gifts that he died for. There's

three categories of gift. The first category of gift is

the ministerial gifts. Tell your neighbor that the first category

of gifts, it's ministerial gifts. And when we think about

these gilts, you gotta identify your guilts. Not only do

we identify our gifts, but we also cultivate our gifts.

Not only do we.

Cultivate our gilts, but we also work our gifts. So

it's important to understand what your gift is. So you

got to identify your gift. Either you have a ministerial gift.

If you don't have a ministerial gift, you may have

a motivational gift. And if you don't have a motivational gift,

you are to have a manifestation of a gift. When

let's talk about the ministerial gilts, the ministerial gifts, I

is the functional gilts.

It is a gift that Christ gave to the church.

And when he gave them to the church, he gave

them for a specific reason.

He said, I've given you apostles.

Because they are the ones who can see.

These are the city ones.

They are set to establish the church, to provide biblical

authority and ordnance in the church. I gave them for

the entire church, and we need visionary leaders that can

keep us in order that we continue to preach Christ

and him crucified. When we talk about the apostolic doctrine,

talked about Christ, talked about his life, talked about his

death and his resurrection. Is still in Christ that we

are redeemed. Is in Christ that we have salvation. Is

in Christ that we have power. And not only was

the apostles, but he also gave us prophets. Prophets are

the ones who speak speaks God revealed truth and bring.

Correction and encouragement to the church.

Often times in this generation when we think about the prophets.

The prophets are preaching blessings and everything else.

But they won't bring correction.

How you're gonna bless somebody who's still living, and seeing

how you're gonna bless some money, who's still fornicat, how

you're gonna.

Bless some money.

They don't only give their times, but the prophet come,

and the prophet is come to speak, cause word, to

speak the truth, because it's the truth that shall make

us free. So he brings forth corrections on soul, encouragement

and guidance. It is the prophet who can see beyond

you to help you stir up the guilts. But not

only do we have the apostle and the prophets, but

we also have the evangelists. It is the evandualist who

is set out to reach reach soul that a loss,

equip those that are found, teach those that are chosen,

and we have the pastor and the teacher to feed

the sheep with understanding for spiritual growth and well beings.

It is the purpose of the functional guilts.

There's only a single purpose, and that purpose is to

equip the saints for the work of ministry and the

ediphine of the Body of Christ. Somebody give cod praise,

somebody give cod praise, somebody kill cod praise. So you

got to identify, and you got to cultivate, and you

got to work to give that card.

Is placed in you.

We have the ministerial kills, and then we have motivational kills.

And these are gifts of service. These gilts include prophecy,

service and ministry, teaching and exhortation, giving and receiving, leadership

and mercy.

You got to identify what gills are in you.

How five your neighbors and tell your neighbors. You got

to identify the gifts that.

God has placed in your life.

It may be ministerial kill, it may be motivational kill.

And the last one this manifestation kills. Where the manifestation

kills are the gifts that's given in by the Holy

ghos found in first Caribbeans ain't truths. Hen that card

is given in the church with wisdom. Not only with wisdom,

but the Word of knowledge has given them some special

faith that when they put their faith on it, whatever

they believe it shall come the past. Somebody shall special kill,

give the healings, give the miracles, kill, the prophecy, gives

the decerment, give the tongs, and give them interpretation. And

when all of these killed, there no good by themselves.

But they got to work together. Tell your neighbors say name.

Let your guilt flow to help the church grow. That

when we come together with all of my different guilts

and starting to work in my guilt, that's when it

starts to grow because we started to flow. Tell your

neighbor get ready, get ready for the church to grow,

because I'm getting ready.

To undetify my kilt.

I'm getting ready to cultivate my guilt. I'm getting wordy

to pay my guilt flows. Let your guilt flow to

help the church grow. I don't know about you, but

it won't be long that the church get filled because

of Church with all of his different guilts. We may

be onebody for many different parts.

And I'm come to tell you the name. You got

to do your part. How to find your name and

tell your name? You got to do your part.

You got to do your part for the Bible says

that Christ is the head of the church, and then we.

Are the body.

It is a functional gift that pulls everything together with

the choice to help the body move. So when I

come and preach to you, I'm trying to get you

to move. I hope you got some all in you.

Ha.

I need some all their people that can move real smoothly.

I need some folks they.

Got some fluid in you, some water.

Into you, to help the choice move. Not all that is,

but we need some folks that.

Got some fire in you to help some things move.

Tell your neighbor, say name, Let's come together, fit the

John together, come pact to together.

But you got to do your part.

I five your neighbor and say, neighbor, I don't care

what kills your content, but you got to do your part.

Don't bury your kill, use your guilt.

Somebody is child, yes, somebody is chi Yes, somebody is child. Yes.

I don't know about you, but I just saw I'm mention.

I seen the body of Christ going down like soldiers,

like an armed platoon. They're in their rates and moving

through the streets, moving on their charms, moving in the

cross rech store. I can see folk slave in the

spirit because you are a gift to them, because you

help them out.

They gonna ask you what church do you go to?

I wish I had somebody a gift part I'm praising.

Tell your neighbor, say namor, let it flow, let it flow,

Tell him, let it flow, Let it coach.

Tell them let it flow. Let it coach.

No matter who's listening, no matter who's not, no matter

who came in, no matter who don't, you got to

let it flow.

Tell your name.

It may not look like it's working, but you gotta

let it flow.

Because one planned and another water. But I come to

tell you today the Card told me to tell p

we'll no longer be a church toss to and fro.

With every win and doctrine by the slave, a man

in their cunniness who's preaching to get your money and

not to save yourself. He said, I know what I

gifted you for. I to give you for a new car.

You can get a good job.

For that. I ain't get you for a house. You

can have good credit. Oh, I wish I had somebody

up in here. I know, somebody say Lord, fix my credit.

He gonna wait for you. Hallelujah.

All those things God allow us opportunity to be good stewards.

We think signs and miracles is something that God has

already given us stewardship over.

Hallelujah. He said, I giving you power to get well, why.

Shod so that you may establish My covenant.

Hallelujah.

He said, listen, I've given you gifts so that you

can assist the church for the work of the ministry,

for the ed find of the Body of Christ. Until

we all come into the unity of the of the

fullness and the stature of Christ. Jesus, that we're being complete,

not only in the quantity, but we come to spiritual maturity.

I don't know where you are and your maturity with

your gift, I don't know. Even though if you have

identified your gift. I'm not sure where you are, but

I know for sure that God wants to use you.

God wants to use you right where you are.

And don't stay there, but cultivate that how through the

world of God by growing in the knowledge the wisdom

of Jesus Christ.

The more you grow, the more you know, the more

you move, the more you can use.

And He can use you. Hallelujah.

So I don't know where you are in your I

don't know where you are in your faith. I don't

know where you are in your gift. I don't know

if you still a long as a hospice of fear.

But let me tell you that God has not given

us the spirit of fear, but.

The power of love and a sound mind.

It starts with salvation. God has given us a gift.

When we got saved, he said, I've given you a gift,

and all of you have a gift, and I want

to use you in a mighty way. We're standing on

our feet. Hallelujah, Glory to God. Lift your hands and

praise Him for the guilt
