1 Corinthians 14:1 “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” There are three main categories of prophecy i.e. general prophecy, personal prophecy and ministry gift prophecy. In this section we want to discuss the category of general prophecy and how to operate in it. In the passage of scripture quoted above the apostle Paul not only encourages us to desire spiritual gifts, but he specifically encourages us to desire the gift of prophe

Mark 4:24-25 “Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. (25) For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.” In this section we want to discuss what the saints can do to either increase or diminish the anointing on the gifts they have received. All of the gifts of the Spirit operate by the anointin

Romans 12:3-6 “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. (4) For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, (5) so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. (6) Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us

1 Corinthians 12:7-10 “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: (8) for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, (9) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, (10) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretati

Galatians 3:26-28 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (27) For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Many gentile believers, who desire to be under the law, quote the above passage of scripture as their excuse for doing so. They say that because in Christ, there is neither Jew no

Philippians 3:2-9 “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! (3) For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, (4) though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: (5) circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Acts 15:5-29 “But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses." (6) Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. (7) And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren … (13) and after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me: … (24) Since we have heard that some who went out

Galatians 2:1-5 “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. (2) And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. (3) Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. (4) And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in

1 Corinthians 9:19-20 “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; (20) and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law.” We saw earlier, that the apostle Paul who consistently teaches gentile believers not to keep the law, himself kept the law. Obviously Paul did not fall into the category of Jewish believers that

Galatians 6:15 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.” 1 Corinthians 8:8 “But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.” Romans 14:5-6 “One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. (6) He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the da

Romans 14:1-14 “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. (2) For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. … (14) I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” To a degree, Jewish believers place themselves under bondage when they keep the law. In the above quoted example in scripture Pau

Acts 6:7 “Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.” Before we look at the reasons why the Holy Spirit allows Jewish believers to keep the law, but does not allow gentile believers to do the same, let us look at some scriptural examples of Jewish believers keeping the law. In the above quoted passage of scripture we are told about Jewish priests who were born-aga
