If you have the presence of the Spirit of God within you, and if you’re a born-again Christ-follower, you’re a candidate for any of the spiritual gifts, if you are willing to cooperate. - Pastor Allen Jackson

Rarely have I heard a minister who speaks scripture without fear of people leaving or being offended. I have been greatly encouraged by the Holy Spirit as I have been and am by these sermons. Allistar Begg is another minister who uses scripture and challenges us to keep in step with the Holy Spirit and scriptures. For too long sermons have put the church to sleep and made us all feel comfortable. But the Holy Spirit has made me very uncomfortable with such comfort. All I have to do is read testimonies of true Believers in other nations where persecution of 😂Christ’s followers to understand that the normal Christian life is trouble, trials, and power by the Holy Spirit to endure. But I disagree with his example of homeschooling. Iwas strict and kept school hours, weekly tests, and grades. We attended church regularly. I had to contend with the youth minister , ( who later divorced his wife, left his son because he had fallen in love with the married daughter ofthe church secretary. She divorced her husband, the secretary divorced her husband, and they all married others.) the minister who was against homeschooling etc. Paul said not to associate with people who were sexually immoral, greedy, liars …not at all meaning those in the world or you would have to leave the world. Today you would have to leave the church! My kids benefited greatly from homeschooling.
When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee,[a] heard about Jesus, 2 he said to his advisers, “This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.” 3 For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip). 4 John had been telling Herod, “It is against God’s law for you to marry her.” 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet. 6 But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias’s daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him, 7 so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted. 8 At her mother’s urging, the girl said, “I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!” 9 Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders. 10 So John was beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who took it to her mother. 12 Later, John’s disciples came for his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened. Jesus Feeds Five Thousand 13 As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. 14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary-you feed them.” 17 “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. 18 “Bring them here,” he said. 19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. 20 They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. 21 About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children! Jesus Walks on Water 22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning[b] Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here![c]” 28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong[d] wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” 32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed. 34 After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 When the people recognized Jesus, the news of his arrival spread quickly throughout the whole area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed. 36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.
It appears that the church still only truly grows and learns through trials and tribulations. Pastor is trying to get us 'to study to show yourself approved unto God' 2Timothy 1:15. And to understand the importance of engaging in Christ-like morality and attitude. And exercise your spiritual gifts, how do you feel about the gifts noted in Galatians. Kindness, mercy, generosity, service, teaching etc. Or just read what Paul says in the NKJV....never liked the NIV.
Allen. It was a good word, and it was to help people not to be ignorant about spiritual things, Yet do not agree when you were speaking of the gifts of the Spirit, saying gifts should rather be called manifestations. You failed to see how/why others translated it “gifts”, as the scripture mentions the word “Given”, which you even demonstrated with the giving of your bible to the one receiving it, then mentioning it was a gift, something given. This is because the words ‘gift’ and ‘given’ are related, as a gift is only that, when (and only when) it is “given”, as here, you shared and Paul noted in 1 Corinthians 12:7 NIV, “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is “given” for the common good.” No, “gifts” is not unhelpful (as you say), but rather helpful showing it (as you render it “spirituals”) as something given, a gift, to be received. So, again, whether it being rendered spirituals, manifestations, or workings, they are all referring to that which is “given”, but true, can be said it is a manifestation, when and only when it is “used”, thus a gift manifested, made apparent! Why bring up the idea that these gifts are not to be noted as “I have the gift of such and such”? Or questioning, “which gift do you have”. When the scripture tells us God the Holy Spirit gives them to each according to His will , “dividing to every man severally as he will.” Thus the legitimate question, is it a possession? Sure, just as salvation is a possession, as the word used in Romans 11:29; “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Meaning they are not taken back from the one possessing them! As this word “gift” here, Is the same Greek word used in 1 Corinthians 12:4-31. Your saying that calling these as “gifts” can lead to confusion and be used other than Godly, (referring to your use of “Obi-Wan” and other brow beating slogans) is making out that the Holy Spirit has no understanding of just whom He is gifting! No, on the contrary, God is not the author of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33, and God the Holy Spirit is all knowing! Really, as you say; "one is a candidate, if such one is willing to cooperate, there is a need to cooperate, and just saying I am willing to cooperate is not enough" (great point Allen, we are more than a blank canvas) yet the Spirit knows just who does and Paul even tells us we are to go beyond that cooperation to; “But covet earnestly the best gifts:” and “desire spiritual gifts” 1 Corinthians 12:31 and 14:1. As Jeremiah noted God saying; “You shall seek (covet, desire) me and find me when you shall seek (covet, desire) me with all of your heart”, relates even in our day, today for the gifts, and callings!
???? Pastor Allen is creepy??? Please enlighten me? I find him one of the Deeply Godly Pastors in America. Add him to the list of Pastor Jack Hibbs and Pastor Gary Hamrick. Again, I sincerely inquire of you, what is creepy and unGodly.
