    The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Part 2
    by Chris Reed
    I recently shared a message called “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit” and discussed how the body of Christ operates in different gifts. The nine gifts of the Spirit are a word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, faith, miracles, healing, tongues, interpretation, and prophecy. A word of wisdom is an understanding of what is true or right, especially in decision making. The Holy Spirit gives you wisdom to apply to each scenario. For example, in Acts 27:9-19, Paul knew to warn the Roman centurion not to set sail. A word of knowledge is an awareness or understanding...

    The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Part 1
    by Chris Reed
    I recently shared a message called “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit,” in which I spoke about each gift and how it works. However, I also want to share how each spiritual gift has a valuable place in the body of Christ. I Corinthians 12:4-7 says, “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.” The manifestation of...

    The Seed of God, Part 2
    by Chris Reed
    I mentioned last week how the children of God are begotten through the seed of God, which is His Word. The Bible uses “seed” to refer to conception, but also to describe the Word of God being sown like plant seeds. The Bible compares the seed of the Word of God with the seed by which we were begotten by our earthly fathers. It also compares earthly flesh to plants to show that our flesh is temporary. I Peter 1:24 says, “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass...

    The Seed of God, Part 1
    by Chris Reed
    I want to share with you from my recent message, “The Seed of God.” I believe this will help you understand the new covenant, what is taking place inside you, and what God is wanting to do in this hour. “The seed of God” is the new covenant’s chosen people. We know God has a plan for the Jews to receive Him at His second coming. However, in the new covenant, God’s chosen people are the sons and daughters who are begotten or conceived by God through the Holy Spirit. When you put faith in Jesus and what He did...

    Leggo My EGO, Part 2
    by Chris Reed
    In my recent message “Leggo My Ego,” I shared how the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us. However, He can remain shelled inside our spirits, almost like how a turtle goes inside its shell to hide from the wind, rain, and sun. That’s what our egos do with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to flow out of us like a river, but our egos keep Christ hidden inside us like turtles hiding inside their shells. When this happens, the Spirit cannot flow through our hands to heal people or through our words to...
