Apathy Wars Against Obedience To God

For most of my life I believed the gifts of the Holy Spirit had ceased. That is so very horrible. In our day we do not see them at work as we should. I believe this is a direct result of kings/pastors taking over the children of God. They do all the talking and for the most part give very little of God's word in the scriptures. The people come and listen to the king and multitudes do not search the scriptures and judge as they should what the king/pastor says. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are not at work when the the body, the church, comes together.

Brothers and sisters, if you listen to a pastor for your food and do not search the scriptures and obey what they teach, you are spiritually anemic at best. It is time to wake up as the night is coming when you will not be able to work for God. Paul, speaking to true believers tells them::

1 Corinthians 12 ISV

1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant. 

• 2You know that when you were unbelievers,a you were enticed and led astray to worshipb idols that couldn’t even speak.
• 3For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God’s Spirit can say, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4Now there are varieties of gifts, 

• but the same Spirit, 
• 5and there are varieties of ministries, 
• but the same Lord. 
• 6There are varieties of results, 
• but it is the same God who produces all the results in everyone.

7To each person has been given the ability to manifest the Spirit for the common good. 

• 8To one has been given a message of wisdom by the Spirit; 
• to another the ability to speak with knowledge according to the same Spirit; 
• 9to another faith by the same Spirit; 
• to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit; 
• 10to another miraculous results; 
• to another prophecy; 
• to another the ability to distinguish between spirits; 
• to another various kinds of languages; 
• and to another the interpretation of languages. 

11But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.

John 9 ISV Jesus said:

4Ic must do the work of the one who sent med while it is day. Night is approaching, when no one can work. 5As long as I’m in the world, I’m the light of the world.
