the our LORD JESUS after resurraction, HE was ascending, HE promise us to give a HOLY SPIRIT. to the edifying the Church HE give us the HOLY SPIRIT GIFTS.each one of us have a Spiritual Gifts. the Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT is to encouraging or comforting to who are hurt, or prophecy to the Church. there are so many different kind of Gifts from GOD(ref:1Corinthians12:1-11) most of all the LORD want us to prophesies to edifies the Church(1Corinthians14:1-3). but some Brothers or Sisters to give helping hand. and some know how to encouraging some one who feel down or sad or what ever reson.... some one speak the tongue or interpretation of the tongue( i do both and interpretation of dreams or visions from the GOD). some who love to teaching, or to talk about the LORD JESUS. one Day many Years ago the HOLY SPIRIT start to teaching the BIBLE. every time when i opened the BIBLE, there hidin meanning of the symbols or parables. so i start to drowing the picture study the BIBLE. i have a many picture notes. in my page, go to the photos i posted the BIBLE study notes. every numbers or the shapes have a significant hidin meannings there. just like alway the LORD JESUS talk parable to the disciples. the Spiritual realms is real. unseen things through the vision, you can see clearly. beginning of my born again Christian journey of life. all i feelt i was no good, and biggist sinner on the Earth. i start to readed the BIBLE i put my Faith in to it start to Prayed to the AMIGHTY GOD. the WHO created the all things. when i start to speaking the tongue, i read the 1Corinthians14:13, i asked the LORD that when i speaking the tongue afterward interpretation of the tongue prayer i speak. soon the good LORD give a interpretation of tongue. and also i asked to HIM to give me a Prophecy deams or the visions. GOOD LORD givin to me. all GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT is the Glorifying the GOD and edifying the Church. exsample:some time i see in the Church ,some one is very humble, or serving servant. i never be that person, cause when the LORD called me to do HIS mission work, HE tolded me to read the Matt3:1-4 and Isaiah20:2-3, i get to be like John the baptist or prophet Isaiah. thet don`t stop talking about the LORD GOD`S message. i am who i am to called by the LORD. each person have a special GIFTS from the LORD. it take me 20Years to finded out what my Spiritual GIFTS from the LORD. i beileve that there many Brothers and Sisters have a Spiritual GIFTS to edifying the Church. now even this community, there are so many to learn from each others. hope what i wrote is what you asking for..... hope it help some way. bless you. <:>< mia
