"AS HE WILLS!"

1 Corinthians 12:7-11                                (ESV)
"7 To each is given the manifestation of the SPIRIT for the common good.
8 For to one is given through the SPIRIT the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same SPIRIT,
9 to another faith by the same SPIRIT, to another gifts of healing by the one SPIRIT,
10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are empowered by ONE and the same SPIRIT, WHO apportions to each one individually "AS HE WILLS"."



Have you ever listened to a sermon and really be moved in a certain way by the words you have heard, only to hear another's testimony of the same sermon, and it be totally different than what you heard?  You may wonder if they were listening to the same sermon?  Were they on a different Spiritual level than you that they were able to discern more than you were?  If so, how can GOD use the same words a man speaks to be interpreted so differently from several different people, for several different purposes?  HOW???

The SPIRIT of GOD ALMIGHTY cannot be limited by the "finiteness" of the human mind.  Are you able to recognize the spirit of the enemy trying to get you to proclaim that GOD can't do that?   JESUS said in Matthew 19:26 "With man this is impossible, but with GOD ALL THINGS are possible."  Don't allow the enemy to tell you what GOD can't do, for JESUS says ALL THINGS are possible.  Whether GOD chooses to roll back the Red Sea, or set a bush on fire without consuming it, or cause a donkey to speak, or choose a despicable person like me to serve HIM, anything is possible when GOD is involved!  And like GOD always does, HE uses us to glorify HIM!!

The scriptures above show many gifts or talents that are used to draw GOD glory.  GOD has the ability to speak to every person "AS HE WILLS", when HE chooses to be glorified.  It's not about the Holiness of the person HE chooses, nor does it mean that person deserves GOD's favor.  As the Apostle Paul stated that "CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief!"  (1 Timothy 1:15 KJV).  GOD chooses "AS HE WILLS" to perform tasks that HE knows that person is gifted to do, for HE created us and understands what we are capable of?  We don't know what we are capable of, but HE does know!!

FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause me to submit to YOUR will for my life as YOU see fit!  Sometimes "AS HE WILLS" may not seem possible in man's eyes, but ALL THINGS are possible with YOU.  Don't allow the enemy to infect my FAITH with his doubts.  May YOUR HOLY SPIRIT move through me to glorify YOUR name in everything I say and do!   May "All these are empowered by ONE and the same SPIRIT, WHO apportions to each one individually "AS HE WILLS"."
