Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

USE YOUR GIFT

Use Your Gift!

LISTEN

“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”

—1 Corinthians 14:1

Remember when you were a kid and couldn’t wait to see if your parents got you the Christmas presents you wanted? You went searching because all kids know where their parents hide the Christmas gifts.

You knew how to carefully peel back the wrapping and tape without ripping anything. Then, you would peek inside. Afterward you cautiously put it all back again. You could hardly wait until Christmas day to open your gift.

As Christians, that should be our attitude toward the gifts of the Spirit. In fact, the Bible tells us to

“desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1 NKJV),

which means to especially want and cultivate them.

However, if we do not want these gifts, discover these gifts, and use these gifts, we could be quenching the Holy Spirit.

The Bible warns,

“Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies” (1 Thessalonians 5:19–20 NKJV).

Or literally, don’t depreciate prophetic utterance or spurn the gifts.

To quench something means to extinguish it like putting out a campfire. When you break camp, for example, you extinguish the fire by pouring water on it and shoveling dirt over it. You quench the fire.

In the same way, if the Holy Spirit is working in your life and has gifts He wants you to discover and use, you can quench the Spirit by saying, “I don’t want any of that.”

In fact, this could even be a sin because James 4:17 says,

“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (NKJV).

Also, the Bible specifically tells us that we should

“come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:7 NKJV).

So, let’s desire spiritual gifts and pray that God will send them.
