Your help and healing might be just six people or less away. Namaan was healed because a captured woman knew of the healing power of God. Namaan had to learn that it often takes humility and cooperation to receive your miracle from God. We must obey and believe.
God wants us to know about our spiritual gifts. The seventh is the gift of discerning spirits. This gift helps us determine what’s fair or foul. When we tap into this God given gift, the Holy Spirit won’t just be in us, but it will be upon us. Many people limit themselves when God has much more, but we must take the next step.
The Bible says we should desire the gifts God has for us, like knowledge and wisdom. We have to be open to this insight, trust and obey. He will warn us and prepare us for what is coming ahead.
This is the beginning of a series of messages on the Gifts of the Spirit. These gifts are often overlooked by individual Christians, but with proper attention and seeking, can provide great power and strength to each person and the body of Christ as a whole
God has allowed each of us to experience life here on Earth, but it is His desire for us to develop an eternal mindset. When we conform to His commands, we are afforded the ability to receive the greatest gift He has in store for us: eternal life through Christ Jesus. But, developing an eternal mindset spans beyond accepting Jesus Christ in your heart as your Lord and savior. You must also be faithful with the resources God has blessed you with.
Just as Adam brought sin into the world and passed it from one generation to the next, in the resurrection, Jesus Christ defeated death and sin and is passing life and resurrection to those who follow Him in faith and trust. When Jesus returns for us we will taunt death as it used to taunt us.
God has a plan for our present life and a plan for our eternity. Everyone is headed to eternal punishment or eternal rewards based upon our response to God and His Gospel of grace and mercy. It’s our choice to turn to God or not. Jesus shared a very vivid parable to teach this truth.

One of the essential truths of the Christian faith is learning the difference between spiritual life and physical life. You are a new creation in Christ. When Christ lives inside a person, you have new potential. God is creating a new nation of people.
We learn from the confession of King David that we were born sinners and we need to acknowledge our sin to God so that we can be forgiven, cleansed and begin experiencing joy. We spend too much time comparing ourselves to others rather than to Jesus and the teaching of Scripture.
