The gifts of the Holy Spirit
"There are many who, moved by a strong desire to do the Work of God, forget what they are and what they mean to the Living God. But, what we do to help the growth of the Kingdom of God is not more important than what we are before God."
"The fruit is related to being whilst spiritual gifts are related to doing."
For me, that is a very powerful lesson, many times we are worried about doing things, we get so busy (Being Under Satan's Yoke) with so many different tasks and think, well i am doing it for God, it is true, but God does not want us just to do, He wants us to be.
We've learned recently that we are the tithe of God, we should not only give the tithe but be the tithe.
Martha was worried about doing but Mary was worried about being.
The disciples returned so happy after many were healed and demons subject to them in the name of Jesus (doing ) but see what Jesus told them:
"Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." Luke 10:20
What about you? Is your name written in heaven?
"Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name and done many wonders in Your name?
And then I will declare to them 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
Matthew 7:22 NKJV
