Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. I Corinthians 14: 1.
God gives us a guideline as a basis for all segments of the Christian life, whether in discipleship pastor, or any segment of an abundant Christian life, this guideline, is called: EARLY CHURCH, which serves as primer for our learning, and socializing among our brothers and with God. The Lord Jesus, before his ascension, has determined a mandatory order, and express that said, Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16: 15,16. Also made a brilliant promise to his followers saying, Behold, I send upon you the promise of my Father; but stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with the high power. Luke 24:49. This father's promise would be the coating power, through the descent of the Holy Spirit, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles; But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. And when he said this, they saw him, it was received through the roof, and a cloud received him out of their sight. Acts 1: 8, 9. And so they waited as the Master had given, until they receive the promise: And, fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together in one place; And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Then there appeared cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2: 1-4.
Here is the genuine Pentecostalism, a primer for all Christians, an example to be followed, were obedient in every way, including waiting in the same place. Today there is a great concern for our generation of workers and preachers of the word, there are few who are misrepresenting the word, twisting the truth, making it like a pirate product; Preach the famous theology of prosperity, like the Kingdom of God were here teaching the people that God is love, and consequently that love can come as you are and stay anyway, for God loves you, or even more He just wants your heart, and spread a liar gospel. To follow Jesus is to change his life, because the true gospel transforms the vilest sinner into a new creature in Christ Jesus, a decent citizen trust and acceptance on earth and also in heaven, as expressed the Psalmist saying, Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high? Who bends, to see what is in heaven and on earth! He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with princes, even with the princes of his people. Psalms 113: 5-8. But for that to happen, you must resign yourself as the Master Jesus said: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24. That is the glorious gospel we preach the gospel with the cross of Christ, but are preaching the gospel without the cross, and such are deceiving himself, for Jesus himself, suffered the most hardships and arduous afflictions of life, including cross of death, and He did not fool anyone, because we have free will to want or reject, if we choose, and we follow his commandments, surely we have joy and peace in it, but also we will have tribulation: but, having faith and courage to overcome as He said, I have told you this, that in me ye might have peace; in the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33. Now comes another problem of this new generation, pirating Spiritual Gifts, as if they were products of sale; speak foreign languages at the time they want, unlike primitive because they spoke as the Spirit gave them utterance, according to Acts 2: 4, here comes the false revelations, reveals what people want to hear, rather than what God has to talk, prophesy lies, giving account, which the Apostle Paul advised more so due care to follow or accompany love, and zeal, and watch; having the greatest zeal for spiritual gifts, but the prophecies, and unfortunately is what they are most trivializing, prophesying wildly, shooting in all directions, without the grace of God, without the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and besides, on their own, one may ask, why the greatest care and zeal for prophecy? I answer, because the prophecy is God using the person, and speaking in the mouth of it, and lie saying thus saith the Lord, is a serious problem, and will deal with God.
In the Old Covenant, there was a prophet by Hananiah name, and even prophesied in the name of the Lord, but it was a lie, and the Lord's prophet named Jeremiah had the courage to rebuke him saying, Hear now Hananiah not sent thee the Lord but you make this people trust in a lie, therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth; this year thou shalt die because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. He died Hananiah the prophet the same year in the seventh month. Jeremiah 28: 15-17. Do not think because we are in the grace of dispensation will not be punished by God, they forget, those who prophesy on their own, and speak for the Lord, all will be taxed as false prophets before God. Many have the courage to prophesy saying that someone received healing when they pray for the sick, and the person becomes worse than it was, reveal weddings, and after a disaster, and many other false or untrue revelations, we must be careful, and above all zealous as Paul said, when it comes to the use of spiritual gifts, care in speech, if God send, can speak and it is done, but if God did not have to speak, or not allow, is sure to embarrassment. So it's my advice; do not worry about God's word, because depends on it exclusively, cries, noises, jumping on our own, does not reveal the power of God, nor Pentecostal movement, we need the anointing of the Holy Spirit, to do the work, and live in Spirit so that He may use according to his good pleasure power, is in the position God has called you, let Him use you as primitive did, to the end, we get the advice of the great wise Solomon: Do not add to his words, that not reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30: 6. God alone has commitments with the true worshipers, as Jesus spoke saying: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23. Amen.
