I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER 12

I Corinthians 12:1 says, "Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant." "Gift {spiritual things} is charisma" which means "the economy of divine grace, by which the pardon of sin and eternal salvation is appointed to sinners in consideration of the merits of Christ laid hold of by faith - grace or gifts denoting extraordinary powers, distinguishing certain christians and enabling them to serve the church of Christ, the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating on their souls by the Holy Spirit." It is necessary to understand the "gifts" that you may have as one of the very elect, through the Holy Spirit, blessed by Father God when you come to the knowledge of the Word of Truth, Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 12:2 says, "Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led." Until you come to the knowledge of truth, you are led by the doctrines and traditions of men; false teachings.

I Corinthians 12:3 says, "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 Spirit." "The Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit." If you are teaching or hearing teachings that do not coincide with Father's Word, be mindful of which S/spirit is speaking through you or another. In another words, is it the Spirit of Father God or the spirit of satan; demonic. The Spirit of Father God will never cause anyone to teach or speak evil of Christ Jesus who is our Living Word.

I Corinthians 12:4 says, "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." Father God gives His children different gifts according to what they are able to handle in the fulfillment of His Plan. However, no matter what that gift may be, it comes to each person through the Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 12:5 says, "And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord." There are different ways to serve our Father, all for example, teaching the same Word of Truth, however it different manners. The relationship is that all things brought forth are of Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 12:6 says, "And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all." It takes all possessing the gifts of Father God to work together, being a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, to bring forth to humankind understanding of Father's Truths, ridding themselves of the doctrines and traditions of men.

I Corinthians 12:7 says, "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal." The gift of Father God you possess is not to profit you or a click independently, rather it is to profit the entire "Body of Christ Jesus, His church, christianity."

I Corinthians 12:8 says, "For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;" Father gifts some of His children with the ability to communicate christian truth and others with the ability to take that same truth to a deeper level of teaching, and both gifts are of the Holy Spirit of Father God.

I Corinthians 12:9 says, "To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;" Father gifts some of His children with the ability to communicate He exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ Jesus and others to communicate salvation frees you from sin, and both gifts are of the Holy Spirit of Father God.

I Corinthians 12:10 says, "To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:" Father gifts some of His children with the ability to communicate the Power of Almighty God through favorable circumstances which bring about marvelous works in peoples life, while others are gifted with communicating the events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Father gifts some of His children with the ability to communicate distinguishing between the Holy Spirit and the spirit of satan. Father gifts some of His children with the ability to communicate His Word in different languages {tongues} learned, while others have the gift of expounding on those learned, translated truths; all gifts with and through the unction of the Holy Spirit by the Power of Almighty God.

I Corinthians 12:11 says, "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will." Father God gives gifts to His very elect according to their abilities to plant and water seeds, without babble and confusion, so the hearer will open their hearts and minds, if they have eyes to see and ears to hear, seeking the increase of knowledge only Father God can give.

I Corinthians 12:12 says, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ." The many-membered Body of Christ Jesus are all of Father's children; the very elect and all those receiving seeds of truth who seek, ask, knock, studying to show themselves approved wherein Father God grants understanding.

I Corinthians 12:13 says, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." Through baptism you come to be a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus who is our Living Word, no matter who you are, when you seek Father's Truths through the Holy Spirit. Christianity is Christ Jesus, not denominations.

I Corinthians 12:14 says, "For the body is not one member, but many." Many gifts given of Father God make up the "Body of Christ Jesus" when it comes to planting, watering, teaching and prophesying Father's Word.

I Corinthians 12:15 says, "If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?" I Corinthians 12:16 says, "And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?" All parts of your physical body are important to your entire body. This is how it is for the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus which is Spiritual. All parts of the spiritual body are significant to it completeness in Father God Almighty, no one part more relevant than the other; the necessity being for all to work together in one accord through Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 12:17 says, "If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?" An eye cannot hear Father's Word and the ear cannot sense the aroma of a decaying corpse, satan, the son of perdition at the appointed time. All members of the Body of Christ Jesus are necessary within their own capacity to keep out those playing church and those of the synagogue of satan. It is not as clicks or competitions as are seen in churches who are void of Father's Truths.

I Corinthians 12:18 says, "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." Father God has placed each of His very elect in the Body of Christ Jesus where He wants them to fulfill that particular purpose of His Plan, according to His pleasure.

I Corinthians 12:19 says, "And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?" If each of the very elect had the exact gift, there would be no "Spiritual Body of Christ Jesus."

I Corinthians 12:20 says, "But now [are they] many members, yet but one body." Father God having given His election their different gifts, there is a complete
Body in Christ Jesus", which pleases our Father since His ministry having completeness, brings forth the entire Truth of His Word to humankind from "The Beginning {Genesis} to The End {Revelation}." All things Father has His Hand on is of One Holy Spirit, in One Body, who is Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 12:21 says, "And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you." The very elect have no say as to how the gifts of Father God are placed together to form the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus as our Father gives gifts according to His good will for the fulfillment of His Plan.

I Corinthians 12:22 says, "Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:" Some gifts of Father God to His very elect may be a lovely smile or compassionate words, however those gifts are as precious as the gifts of teaching and are very necessary to the completeness of the "Body of Christ Jesus" since they bring comfort to the new christian who is striving to understand Father's Truths.

I Corinthians 12:23 says, "And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness." Those smiles or compassionate words may not be seen of the whole congregation, however Father God sees and blesses them since they are necessary in the quietness of their giving to the completeness of true christianity.

I Corinthians 12:24 says, "For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:" The quiet gifts of the very elect Father God gives tribute to since they may not receive the attention of those who are endowed with obvious gifts {teachers}, our LORD knowing that all must be established fairly in His eyes in order for the ”Body of Christ Jesus" to be complete and properly joined.

I Corinthians 12:25 says, "That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another." "Schism" means "clicks, division." It is necessary for all of Father's election to know and understand that it takes all members of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, no matter how small or large their gift, to be joined together in one christian accord, avoiding separation.

I Corinthians 12:26 says, "And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it." Every member of the "Body of Christ Jesus" is essential and when any fall into sin, all come together in prayer and repentance to Father God for a healing, and all rejoice in the blessing of Father God for His Beloved Son who is our Intercessor to our "Father's Throne of Forgiveness." This is how the very elect, the true church, is pleasing to our Father God.

I Corinthians 12:27 says, "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." All members of the "Body of Christ Jesus" have their duties and responsibilities as they fit into "Father's Perfect Plan." There will be those of the very elect who shall be handed up before the synagogues of satan, all of humankind hearing the testimony coming from their mouths through the Holy Spirit, when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. Then there shall be others who will be quietly planting seeds of truth to those a part of the deception, misled by the doctrines and traditions of men, in a quiet room by the blessings of the Holy Spirit. All things shall come to past during that time under and by the "Power of Almighty God" according to His good will.

I Corinthians 12:28 says, "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." All of these gifts given by Father God to His very elect make up the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus as His ministry goes forth upon the whole earth; their mission jointly to bring forth the Word of our LORD to be heard by all the people of every nation of the entire world, by the Power of Almighty God, Christ Jesus at the helm.

I Corinthians 12:29 says, "[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?" I Corinthians 12:30 says, "Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?" Absolutely not. Only those chosen of our Father God are sent forth to teach "His Good Gospel" since they are blessed by Father's Holy Spirit and are a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 12:31 says, "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." All gifts from Father God are "excellent" so never attempt to imitate or take one that belongs to another. Be thankful and blessed with what our Father has entrusted you with, for all things of our LORD have a purpose.
