ARE WE ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL?

SHIFTING RESOURCES OR SHIFTING RESPONBILTIES  OR ACCOUNTABITIES BY TAKING FROM SOMEONE IN ORDER TO GIVE TO SOMEONE ELSE.

WHAT ARE THE RESOURCES OR SOURCES CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND TALENTS?

THE GIVING OF ANYTHING THAT GIVEN FREELY BY GOD TO HIS CHILDREN ARE THE GIFT OF THE ONE SPIRIT.

ALL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT ARE TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE GLORIFICATION OF GOD. AND NOT TO GLORFTY THE PERSON GIVING THE GIFT TO SOMEONE.

Paul was an  excellent writer of many letters to the churches to inform all believers about how to use the gifts of the spirit.There was an order in the proper use of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit  and many of the churches not using the resources properly.The confusion and disorder with gifts of prophecy and speaking in unknown tongues because they were not knowledgeable of the use of the gifts.

Paul writes:And now brothers and sisters, I want to write about your special abilities the Holy Spirit gives to each of you,for  I don't want any misunderstanding about them.You remember that before you became a Christian you went from one idol to another,not one which could speak a single word ,But now you are meeting people who claim to speak messages from the spirit of God.How can you know or whether they are fakes?Here is the test:no one speaking by the power of the spirit of God can curse Jesus,and no can say,"Jesus is Lord,"and really mean it,unless the Holy Spirit is helping him.

Paul writes:Let love be your greatest aim,ask also for the special abilities the Holy spirit gives,and especially the gift of prophecy,begin able to preach the message of God.

With the dawn of new age and shifts in spirit opinions and beliefs, we are still not observing God's orderly instructions of sharing the gifts given by the Holy Spirit.We rob God of the glory to pay our own pockets.We use the resources from our gifts to pay our bills.This has been going on for centuries with many children of God leaving the churches because their gifts couldn't operate in the churches because of misunderstanding and denial of the gifts the children of God were given.So the children had a heart desire to give their gifts to those in need.Many created their own miniseries and many turned to the pagan lifestyle where they were accepted. Are we still wandering in the wilderness without a sense of responsibilities and accountabilities for our use of the gifts that honor God and not self? Yes, we are and the time is coming for the judgement of how we used the gifts.Are we as the children of God to give the gifts freely to those in need? This question has to be answered by your connection to God.Do you give God glory in your messages from spiritual gifts?Pride and ego can get in the way of anyone serving God.We live in a money/power world and we do need support from believers but there should be no force apply to the giving.A cheerful giver gives according to the joy and encouragement that the message from God each gift brings.How can we use or gifts to uplifted and not received payment for our efforts?We need to observe the payment process and make sure it is coming from the blessing given to each person you help by using your gifts.Many are not being blessed by the messages because of the greed and pride of the ego of the person who doesn't believe in God. People will want to bless you with their blessings they receive through your work if they know you are glorifying God's messages. This is a serious matter and Paul knew that the believers didn't understand the using of the gifts in his time.The giving and receiving of anything money or blessings must not rob God and glorify self in any manner. Ask God not other gods for the answer to your needs and wants and He will supply all your request.

Someone on my radio show last night asked me about the powers of the gifts.She said, "I am trying to follow God's Plan and I keep asking my spiritual guides."I paused for a moment and thought about what she meant by spiritual guides. I know that many follow these but what does God say about follow other gods?There is some confusion  in what is from God or from other gods still going on in this world.She wants power and wants to help others as every child of God has compassion and love to give.Is it "the end justify the means" if we meant well but use other means than God to share our gifts are we still taking from God?What is our purpose?To give all to God or give to ourselves?
