GOD'S GIFTS AND WAYS: FULFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

GOD'S GIFTS AND WAYS: FULFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

During these unsettling times in which we live, confusion, fear, and a feeling of powerlessness can often assault the believer and the Church. Yet God has provided everything we need to live the Christian life filled with purpose, joy, and power, accurately reflecting who God is to a world in need of a Savior. Jesus told His disciples it was better for them that He leave, because then His Spirit would come and dwell IN and UPON them. The Spirit equipped them with spiritual gifts and empowered them to fulfill His commission to go and make disciples of all nations. The gifts of prophecy and the calling to minister in the role of a prophet have been neglected and caused division in the Church. God desires to heal this division, and Greg presents biblical insights into the prophetic gifts and how God has provided them to help expand His Kingdom. Biblical safeguards and parameters for operating in these giftings are given to help the local church and believers share the Gospel. The Church needs all the gifts Jesus gave to His Church to build up believers and communicate messages from God to His Church. This book also uncovers Satan’s strategy to discredit the power of prophecy and prophetic leadership. Reading this book will encourage and stir up your faith to believe in God’s supernatural, miracle-working power available for believers today. Greg shares many incidents when God spoke to him, gave him prophetic words to share with other people, and revealed visions of what God is doing now and in the future. If you are hungry for growing in the knowledge of God’s ways and embracing all God has given us in Christ through the ministry of the Spirit, prophecy and the role of a prophet must be welcomed, understood, and practiced. The purpose of this book is to help equip God’s people, to stir Christians to study His Word, to believe Him, and to walk in His gifts and ways. It is a call for the Church to wake up from its slumber, to repent, and walk in the Holy Spirit as we are commanded. As you read through this book, please endeavor to find other prophetic sources that may be saying the same or similar things to the church. The subject of this book is to share that God has not changed. The way to salvation is the same. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus’ name for salvation confessing him as Lord, and knowing that He lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the price for our sins, was buried and resurrected to new life on the third day and has been exalted to His Father’s right hand. day He will return for His Church and rule the earth from Jerusalem. For He is the Lion and the Lamb of God. God still builds His people’s faith the same way He always has, by His Word, as revealed to us by His Spirit. Jesus is still the baptizer in the Holy Spirit and fire. He still gives the gifts by the Holy Spirit, and He still anoints people to walk in all His gifts and five-fold ministry offices. This book is filled with examples and Scriptures so that each readers faith might be bolstered and to communicate that God still speaks in dreams, visions, and prophecies. He still heals, delivers, and does miracles the same ways He always has. He is a supernatural God who does supernatural things. As you read through this book, there are many examples from my life and personal stories from my wife, family, and friends. Some of these events are about local and personal ministry and others world events. God our Father, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is shaping His Church and the world through birthing pains for the end times events to occur ( Matt. 24:4-8, 9-14, 15-51 ).
