We’re going to *continue* on the *subject* of the “*/Gifts of the Spirit/*.”
Last week we talked about the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
I’m not going to go into all the facets of the HS today that’s another series for another day.
But today I want to get into the subject of the actual Gifts of the Spirit.
*I.
*In (*/1COR 12:10/*) *Paul mentions 5 different Gifts* *of* the Holy *Spirit*, but I want to *begin* *with* the *gifts* that are sometimes *called* the “*/Inspirational Gifts/*.”
*A.
*These */3/* “*/Inspirational Gifts/*” are the gifts of the Spirit that say something and they are “*/Prophecy/*, */divers kinds of Tongues/*, and the */Interpretation of Tongues/*.”
*1.
*Turn with me to */1COR 14:1-5/*
*a.
Paul* *makes* *reference* here in (*/V 5/*) that *Prophecy* is the *greater gift*.
In this */V/* he’s talking about the *3 gifts* that *say something*.
*i.
*The *reason* that */Prophecy/* is the */greater/* gift is that it */take/* the */other 2 gifts/* (*Tongues and the interpretation of Tongues*) to */equal Prophecy/*.
We’ll get into this later.
(Probably next week)
*B.
/1st/* of all let’s look at */PROPHECY/*.
*Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a* */KNOWN/* *tongue*.
*1.
*The word “*/prophecy/*” in the *Hebrew means* “*/to show forth or to spring forth/*”.
*a.
*Usually the *prophecies* of the *OT dealt with future* events.
*2.
*In the *Greek* it means “*/to speak for another/*,” “*/to speak forth by divine inspirations/*.”
*a.
Prophecy* *means* to *speak for God* or a better way to put it would be *God’s spokesman under the inspiration* of the HS.
*3.
*In (*/1CO 14:1/*) *Paul makes* a *distinction* *between* “*/Prophecy/*” *and* the *other* “*/Gifts of the Spirit/*.”
*a.
*Look at */1COR 14:1/*
*b.
*That *doesn’t* *mean* we are *not* to *desire* the *others*, *but* that we are to *put* *this gift 1st*.
*c.
*Look at */V. 39/* (*/1COR 14:39/*)
*i.
*Paul is writing by the inspiration of the God.
*ii.
*The *Lord* is *emphasizing* the *importance* of *prophecy*.
*C.
*This */gift of prophecy/* should */not/* be *confused with* the */office of the PROPHET/*.
*1.
*Look at */V 3/* again.
(*/1CO 14:3/*)
*a.
*We can easily see that in this */gift of prophecy/* there is */no REVELATION/*.
(*Revelation* *meaning* *revealing things not known*.)
*b.
*But in the *office of the* */PROPHET/* there is a */degree of revelation/*.
*i.
*There will be those times that a *Prophet will reveal things* to us that we did *not know before*.
*2.
Paul told* us to *covet prophecy and desire spiritual {gifts}, but rather that ye may prophesy*.
*a.
*Look at */1CO 14:31/*
*b.
*Paul said, “*/For ye may all prophesy one by one/*”.
*c.
*Now look at */1CO 12:28‑29/*
* d.
*Paul is saying that *not everyone is a prophet*, *but all may give a prophecy*.
*i.
*Just because someone may */prophesy does not/* */make/* them a */PROPHET/*.
*ii.
*God has told us that we *all may prophesy*, but *we can’t all be prophets*.
He picks the ones that He wants to be prophets.
*II.
**/ACTS 21:8‑11/*
*A.
*Note that all of *Philip’s daughters* had what I call the *simple gift of prophecy*.
*1.
*They must have prophesied in the services held in their house otherwise Paul and his company would not have known that they prophesied.
*a.
What did they speak*?
According to (*/1COR 14:3/*) They spoke “*edification, exhortation, and comfort*.”
*2.
*When the *PROPHET Agabus* came, he had *something* on a *higher order*.
*a.
*It came as a *prophecy*, *but* it was *more than a prophecy*.
*b.
*It had *revealed something* otherwise not known by any natural source.
*i.
*It *told* *something* that was *going to happen* in the *future*.
*ii.
*That is *NOT* the *gift of prophecy* that the Bible says that all can operate in.
*iii.
*The *prophecy* that *we all can operate in* is the one that *brings forth* *edification, exhortation, and comfort*.
*c.
*There is the gift of the Spirit that might tell something in the future and that is the *Word of Wisdom*.
*1.
*That gift is for all of us.
*III.
*Now I want to look at some things that the */GIFT of PROPHECY is not/*.
*A.
1st* of all as we already said, It is */not/* the */office/* of the */Prophet/*.
*1.
*A *prophet* is *a man* *not a spiritual gift*.
*2.
*Many times the *prophetic office* will *predict* the *future*.
*a.
*But the *gift of prophecy never does*.
*b.
According* to the *different* *Bible source and reference* *books* that I have, all of them *says* that there is a *difference between the Prophet* *and the NT gift of Prophecy*.
*i.
*The *gift of Prophecy* that we *all may be used in* is for *edification, exhortation, and comfort ONLY*.
*ii.
*There was *no evidence* *from* the *word* of God to show that this *gift of Prophecy* was *ever used* to *tell* the *future*.
(Sometimes the Prophet was used this way.)
