Spiritual gifts

Like I said before, I got 20 on Hospitality and 16 in discerning of spirits and tied 15 in Shepard,Prophecy and Wisdom.

Seeing this it makes sense hospitiatlity is in I like being hospitable? Dad agreed and said I like being with people so making people feel at home or welcomed is cake.

Discerning of spirits is undefined I don't know if it is seeing into the spiritual world or the roots or testimonys and such things.

But shepard, prophecy, and wisdom are things which I am eager to become matured in, and really strive for them.
Tied at 14 exhortations giving service are things I enjoy as well
helping people out and giving time money is really a joyful experience for me and become fulfilled in.

My Convo with dad

We talked about my gifts I got 20 on Hospitatlity and 16 in discerning of spirits and tied 15 in Shepard,Prophecy and Wisdom

With my personality test he said that Extroverted made since but sensing being 1 made no sense he thinks that i'm a lot more "sensitive".
However he pointed out that being extrovert with hospitality made perfect sense to him. He said he saw Christ working in me alot and that the impact of christ is very evident in my life.

Chapter 7 part 1 Spiritual WARFARE!

i found the website http://www.allaboutfollowingjesus.org/spiritual-warfare.htm

they validate spirtual warfare and simply put it as this
put on the whole armor of god knowing the word but not stopping there head knowledge of the word is only so much but actually revelation form god of the scriptures

a balanced perspective on spiritual warfare hmmm

well first realize this all authority was given by God
ALL even the power that satan and his demons have was given by God.
if you truly have accepted christ as lord and savior his spirit is living inside you the spirit that raised jesus from the dead is in you! now with this we have also this encouraging word to hold onto
john 12
Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

see Jesus said that we will do greater than these!

a perspective on spiritual warfare is this

we have the victory already if we just ask according to HIS will and its a done deal!

testimonial

well what can i say my parents have been in the ministry ever since ive been born ive lived in the u.s. for the most part but some ive grown on the misison field and never was a murderer or into binding sin but however god never became real to me until i was about 13 i attended unwillingly a pastors conference with my parents and felt the tangible precense of god and completely changed the focus and direction of my life. what happened was god wasnt my parents thing or a duty ..but a relationship and became a truly an honor serve him

its not like i became perfect and ceased from sin immeatidately i still havent gotten close!

but god became so evident in my life it would be impossible to go back!

i slowly found out that i became different than most of my middle school peers and began to withdrawl from hanging out with anyone or becoming a friends with them
i didnt want to loose my faith and go back to serving myself so i would refuse to go back yet living a godly life style only means somthing if you have the words

faith comes be seeing? if faith came by seeing everyone would get saved by us just being good
but no faith comes by hearing and i learned i needed to speak the word into peoples lives and not live it and it required a great amount of boldness i spent most of the year praying to god continually for boldness that i might fearlessly make known his name

forutnately after a wild turn of events i moved to panama and the craziest god awesome way i began to recieve his boldness speak with people about god and the truth
