Manifestation

1 cor 121. Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal

The manifestation of the Spirit is given to "every" man. We all get it. Thank God

Power Trip

Today I am working on the second step, I am coming to believe that a Power greater than myself can restore me to sanity. I tend to want to be the power in charge of my life. I tend towards insanity. That is why I pray.

Mat 6:13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

This prayer reminds me who has the power. Someday I will get it through my thick head.

Rom 9:21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

55. Rom 13:1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

1Cor 2:5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God

2Ti 1:7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

That's my sanity, hopefully and access to any power I might get through God.

2Pe 1:3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

These are some power verses. All power comes from God. It fills the world. Only humans are capable of trying to usurp power to themselves. When you try to be god, you find unhappiness and maybe even damnation.

1. Mat 21:22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

6. Rom 15:13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost

Rom 8:32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Rom 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Rom 8:18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.


God delivers us from all evil, answering our prayers, giving us what we need.
Heb 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
