GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.  You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed!” And no one can say, “Jesus is the Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit."

"There are various gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.  There are various operations, but it is the same God who operates all of them in all people."

"But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for the common good.  To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.  

But that one and very same Spirit works all these, dividing to each one individually as He will.    

I Corinthians 12:1-11  MEV (Modern English Version)

If you are Born of the Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life, God is able to give you any or all of these gifts, for the purpose of building up His Kingdom. There's only one Holy Spirit and He decides which gifts you will need at any moment.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

 

 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, 

peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, self-control; 

against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23 ESV (English Standard Version)

LAST WORDS OF JESUS ON THE CROSS

WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON A ROCK?

JOHN'S MOM SALOME, HIS AUNT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS, MARY MAGDALENE, AND MARY WIFE OF CLOPAS WERE PRESENT AT THE CROSS WHEN JESUS DIED.

"Some women stood near to Jesus while he was on the cross. They were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary from Magdala." 

"Jesus saw his mother there. He also saw the disciple that he loved. That disciple was standing there, near Jesus' mother. So Jesus said to his mother, 

‘Woman, look! There is your son.’  

"Then he said to the disciple, 

‘Look! There is your mother.’ 

From that time, the disciple took Jesus' mother to live in his own home."   

John 19:25-27 (EASY) Easy English Bible

WHY DID JESUS WANT HIS MOTHER TO LIVE  WITH HER NEPHEW?  WAS MARY'S SISTER ALSO LIVING IN JOHN'S HOME?

AFTER 3 HOURS OF DARKNESS, BEAMS OF BRILLIANT SUNLIGHT WERE SHINING ON THE CROSS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

"And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice,     “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” 

which is translated, 

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah!”

Mark 15:34-35 HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

JESUS WAS QUOTING THE PROPHECY FROM PSALM 22.

"After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been finished, in order to finish the Scripture, said,    

“I am thirsty.”  A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.  Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit."  LSV (Legacy Standard Version)

HYSSOP PSALM OF DAVID

"Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings. 

Wash me thoroughly from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my wrongdoings,

And my sin is constantly before me. 

Against You, You only, I have sinned

And done what is evil in Your sight,

So that You are justified when You speak

And blameless when You judge."

"Behold, I was brought forth in guilt,

And in sin my mother conceived me. 

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in secret You will make wisdom known to me." 

"Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

Cleanse me, and I will be whiter than snow." 

Psalm 51:1-7 NASB   (New American Standard Bible)

ARE YOU HUMBLE?

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,  and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.  Therefore whoever HUMBLES HIMSELF as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Matthew 18:1-5  NKJV

SOUR WINE

CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS

AFTER JESUS WAS BEATEN, HE WAS TOO WEAK TO CARRY HIS CROSS.  THE ROMANS FOUND SIMON, A MAN FROM CYRENAICA WILLING TO CARRY THE CROSS TO GOLGOTHA.

"And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),  they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it."

Matthew 27:33-34  (ESV)

BEFORE NAILING HIM TO THE CROSS. THE ROMANS OFFERED JESUS SOME WINE, BUT HE SPIT IT OUT, REFUSING TO DRINK; BECAUSE IT WAS MIXED WITH MYRRH.  MYRRH CONTAINS CHEMICALS THAT REDUCE PAIN.

"And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots."  Matthew 27:35  (ESV)

LATER AT 3PM

JESUS CRIED OUT THE WORDS FROM PSALM 22; "MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”  MATTHEW 27:46 (ESV)

BYSTANDERS THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING FOR ELIJAH.

"And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”  

"And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink." Matthew 27:47-48  (ESV)

 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”  A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.  When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.  John 19:28-30  (ESV)

IS JESUS YOUR LORD?

ARE YOU HIS SERVANT?

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’  And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Matthew 7: 21-23  ESV
