If You Woke Up Tomorrow With Supernatural Gifting What Should You Do Biblically?

Calvinism....you are guilty till you admit you are guilty.

Everyone is a dirty rag. And God can do all things right except make you behave right.

 

Calvinism says "He could make you behave right -- if He cared to"

 

Because that is what Paul did??

My point was that - Paul had a lot of "gifts" but did not wake up each morning crying out for 'God to deliver me from the clutches of Satan, the Evil Deceiver' who in TC's POV would have gifted him, since apparently that is what the devil does in the Calvinist framework.

 

The problem is my friend that you yourself know that none of these so called gifts are always accurate, and one used to "write theology/speak for the Lord" must be 100 % true!
The Holy spirit does not do all of those things that you listed here, as NONE of what you are experiencing glorify jesus, and the job of Him is to glorify Christ, and to make real theology known!
We have already the entire revelation of God in the Bible, what else can you do to add to that?

 

Nope again,more like God provides the weays and means for His own people to be saved, received the Holy Spirit, and have the means to "live right"

 

Repent

 

"none of these so called gifts are always accurate"

Tell us when God told you face to face that you are ELECT.

First, I would have breakfast. Then take a shower and brush my teeth. I might shave, but I might not. . .

 

He told me through the scriptures, after he saved me, as the Spirit bore witness!

 

Ask God to remove any that were not from Him!

 

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

While indeed, that which passes as standard miracles, etc and 'gifts' among the pentecostals, charismatics, and etc, is indeed a deceiving 'false fire' [Revelation 13:13 KJB], a counterfeit pentecost and counterfeit latter rain, do not think that the true does not exist today in the world [latter rain is not yet here, but the season is soon], otherwise why would satan need to counterfeit these things so much [Revelation 16:13 KJB], and why would Jesus warn about false [Matthew 24:4, 24-26; Mark 13:5,22; Luke 21:8, and Paul, Acts 20:29,30, etc], if He was not fulfilling His promise to send the true [Matthew 23:34; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Ephesians 4; 1 Timothy 4:14; James 1:17; 1 Peter 4:10 KJB, etc]? Remember, satan always sends the false ahead of the true, trying to trap as many as possible. Think of the many false messiahs satan sent before [and even after] the true Messiah. see people like Theudas, Judas of Galilee, Barabas, the Egyptian, and the zealots [attempting by force to overthrow the Romans and fulfill prophecy], king Herod [the voice of a god and not a man; Acts 12:22 KJB], even the highpriests in their hearts [Annas and Caiaphas, they literally thought that they were saving the nation by putting Jesus to death, and later the disciples] etc [see Acts 5:36,37, 21:38 KJB], for satan was attempting to head off the prophecy in Daniel 11:14 KJB, "... the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.", for satan is a student of prophecy, that he might try to thwart God's perfect plan [all those that arose up claimed to be "somebody"; see also Daniel 8:23; Psalms 17:4; Isaiah 35:9; Jeremiah 7:11; Matthew 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46; Isaiah 1:23; John 10:1,8,10, 18:40; Hosea 7:1; Ezekiel 7:33, 18:10; Hosea 4:2; Acts 21:38; Isaiah 1:2; Acts 4:36,37 KJB].

 

Yes 1 Cor 14 says tongues are for a "sign" to unbelievers and prophecy a "sign" for believers. It makes no sense to "hide prophecy from believers".

Here is the question I would be asking if I were you - "How can it be that all those other gifts were in fact fake - but this supposedly real gift of prophecy did not include God informing me about those other fakes in my life so as to spare me the ordeal"?

God's Word is "light" it dispels darkness. If fake gifts are being promoted by your ministry - and misleading your hearers as well as you-- is God so little concerned with that damage that his direct supernatural communication to you - does not include some "Disabusing"???

I am inclined to agree with you on that one.

 

Exactly. In 1 Cor 14 Paul says you have no control at all over prophecy - other than to pray for the gift. That is it.

 

I would like to be able to do Irish line dancing on the water as a special gift. In addition to the ability to walk on water, God would also have to grant me a special gift of rhythm to overcome my two left feet.

Well, as long as we can ask for anything ... I don’t think it is an unbiblical request. Just not essential for the well being of the local body of Christ.

 

How about an example for each of these.


God bless.

 

This is what Paul did:

Galatians 1:15-18
King James Version (KJV)

15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.


He did not immediately confer with flesh and blood.


God bless.
