How we need the full manifestation of spiritual gifts in our churches for the full manifestation of Christ. What a ploy of the enemy it is to shut them out, or to tell us that they are not needed today. We must shed some extra light on this ever-important and much quoted scripture. God wants us all to move in faith, and will take us from faith to more faith, until it becomes totally naturally to live in it. However, as we have been learning, everything must start with the voice of God revealed within our hearts.
Obedience acts upon the rhema, and faith is developed through our obedience.
I heard a true story of some kids that attempted to walk on the ocean or maybe a lake like Jesus and Peter. They drowned, because they had attempted this miracle without the rhema. Remember brethren, stepping out into ministry without having heard the voice of God is presumption, and you and I will really get burned. These scriptures hit home at one of the very major problems within our churches today. The church will only be purified and made holy by the revelatory word of God.
