God walks among us: How to properly distinguish the spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit of God Himself

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV
[4] There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. [5] There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. [6] There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. [7] Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. [8] To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, [10] to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. [11] All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
Every follower of Jesus should seek to know what their spiritual gift is. 
Get a gift: unwrap it, read the manual and use it. 
1 Corinthians 12:1,7-11 NIV
[1] Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. [7] Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. [8] To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, [10] to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. [11] All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
God decides who gets what gift. Try it and discover how it works. 
Romans 12:6-8 NIV
[6] We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; [7] if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; [8] if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
If God has given you a gift then use it. 
1 Peter 4:10-11 NIV
[10] Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. [11] If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

What is on your schedule today: how do you know how to plan your years according to Jesus Christ and his terms and conditions 

There is no insight no plan that can succeed against the Lord. Proverbs 21 It’s in there somewhere. Somehow the writer of Proverbs is speaking to us.  That’s why when you make plans, you need to be careful about what you want to do!  Buying headphones is an example, I buy them every six months.  But that is not the point.  Here’s my point: we can make plans for our days, but whatever plans we do make cannot succeed against the Lord.  Even our president knows this! He is in the word of God! Jesus said don’t judge by merely human appearance and by human rules. Rather, judge by what is in a person’s heart!  Fake news has been around since the garden of Eden, whereas I need to start marking my bible in such a way that when a Jehovah's Witness comes knocking at the door of my soul, I am prepared to tell them the Real Truth behind the good news of the true gospel of Jesus Christ! So, please pray for me that I have my bible marked in the fashion. So true.  So, like I said, be careful abou

Don't rush me!! Wait for me Jesus...

What does not rushing look like? It starts with a desperate prayer: Lord, unrush me! You know, Jesus did not rush. He went out of his way to talk to the woman at the well and to reach out his hand to the leper. He stayed prioritized by loving on people and made time for them. You know, if your feeling rushed, remember that the Savior of the world did not rush so neither should you. For more, visit: proverbs31.org . Blessings!

Women and busyness: How as women of God we are called to read and study His Word

Being busy can take a lot out of you. But, if you're like me, you're often reading the word: being busy doing that. https://www.shewrites.com/blog/view/2841162/ministering-to-women-while-being-busy-in-the-word Reading the bible is tough for most people. Even for me. But, I find that if I pray before I read, I have a greater understanding of God's word. If you have not already, go to a local book store and buy one. Start by reading ten minutes a day. If you find that ten minutes isn't enough to satisfy your spiritual hunger, try ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes in the evening. You may need several ten minute feedings throughout the day. On top of that, there are a lot of websites that are free bible study sites: www.biblestudytools.com , www.biblegateway.com  and www.biblehub.com . So, what are you waiting for? Get a bible, go Online, and start to study God's word! Blessings!
