1co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1co 12:5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. 1co 12:6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. 1co 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

Motivational Gifts

And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith; Ro 12:7 or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; Ro 12:8 or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Jan Newhouse talks about 3 categories of Biblical gifts- The 5 Fold Ministry, Spiritual Gifts and Motivational Gifts. In this show she shares that we are born with personality traits that motivate us- given to all, regardless of our religious beliefs.

Dreams and Visions

Please come back to this site towards the beginning of the year, Jan. 2015.  I’m quite busy and am in the process of compiling many dreams and visions I’ve had over the years.  I will post them as soon as possible!  Thank you.

Eph 4:11 And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  Eph 4:12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:  Eph 4:13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:  Eph 4:14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;  Eph 4:15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ.

1co 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. 1co 12:8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: 1co 12:9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;  1co 12:10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:  1co 12:11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

Dreams and Visions- an Intoduction

There are a variety of opinions regarding dreams and visions. Although it’s now a big part of my life, I spent most of my Christian life having dreams, yet never hearing about them at church. It’s an area I heard more about on television regarding a variety of new age visionaries who had enough success to cause people to follow them, yet had a mix of both “Christianity” and psychic telepathy or witchcraft. Today we often hear about these ancient new age visionaries in circles and a bit less about modern true prophets. Even in Christian circles we will hear less about true prophets and much about ‘false prophets’ who will itch our ears. Often these false prophets might be operating in the gift of prophesy which is designed to exhort and edify, but certainly not as a prophet which is a significant part of God’s mouthpiece in warning of impending judgment if a nation/region/church/individual does not return back to God’s Word.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Anything you might want to know about this subject is already in the scripture; however, the Bible is a big book and it’s easy to get an unbalanced approach simply by picking and choosing which part we want to apply. I want to point to some scripture that I think will address the issue of dreams & visions, prophets, and prophetic gifts. Teachers that have pointed to scriptures and have mentored me over the years have been Leslie Johnson, Brian Stengele, Hanna, & Gordean. All are prophets- either national prophets, regional, or church prophets. If you study the scripture on this issue, you’ll find they are different and play a unique part in the body of Christ. For now I want exonerate several scriptures so you know where I’m coming from as I talk about the areas of dreams and visions.
Dreams and visions are normal for everyone to have-
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

The Holy Spirit gives the believers gifts- the gift of prophecy is one gift-
Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

New Age vs. Holy Spirit guidance-
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world…1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
Lev 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

Gift of Prophesy is accessible for all believers which offer comfort;
Vs.
Office of the Prophets have a specific function as described though out scripture-
1Co 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

Prophets attempt to turn people away from evil
Vs.
False Prophets will give people false comfort
Zec 10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain:

In the latter days will be many lying prophets-
Jer 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Jer 23:18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
Jer 23:19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
Jer 23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
Jer 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Jer 23:22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jer 23:23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Jer 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Jer 23:25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jer 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Jer 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
Jer 23:28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Jer 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

Prophets should always point you to God’s Word, not grace only teaching that turn people away from obeying God’s commandments.

Num 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

Deu 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
Deu 13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Deu 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Deu 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death.
