THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH – ALL KINDREDS OF THE EARTH
There are many Gifts given to the Spiritual Church, the Body of CHRIST. Some of the most important Gifts are:
- the Promise of the Seed, the Savior & the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT
- the Righteousness of CHRIST
- the Grace of GOD
- and Eternal Life/Everlasting Life.
In Addition there are Spiritual Gifts for Ministerial Titles/Positions for the Ministration of the Body of CHRIST.
The Spiritual Gifts are for the Enabling and Empowerment of the Spiritual Church. The Spiritual Gifts are Imparted through the >> HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT << for the Ministration of the Members of the Spiritual Church and for the Purpose of the Propagation of the Word of GOD (the Bible) and the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD/Heaven to the World.
Mat_28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:19 is the Commandment, known as the Great Commission. It is basically the same Ideology as the Commandment GOD gave to Israel when HE had chosen them to be a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation. They, now the Spiritual Church, was chosen to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD/Heaven. Now, all of GOD’S Chosen or “Elect” People are Commanded to go forth to Teach the Gospel.
Exo_19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
The Spiritual Gifts are given to Believers and Disciples to prepare them for GOD’S Service and to Equip them for the duties they will perform.
Each Spiritual Gift has special Attributes identifiable to the Individual Believer and the Spiritual Church at large. See the Article >> Spiritual Gifts of the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT << which differentiate between Ministerial Gifts connected with the Ministry of the Word and those of the Ministry of Practical Service.
The Spiritual Gifts are for the Enabling and Empowerment of the Church. The Fruit of the Spirit is the Manifestation of the Operation of the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT in the Life of the Individual Believer. It is also for their Edification and Empowerment.

ANOTHER COMFORTER
JESUS CHRIST the Messiah told HIS Disciples and Apostles that HE would not leave them alone in the World. HE Declared HE would Pray the FATHER to send the COMFORTER which is the >> HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT << in HIS Name. CHRIST told them the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT would Teach them and remind them of everything HE had taught them. The HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT of GOD is the other Comforter CHRIST promised to send. HE is the Conduit of the Promises which allows the Believer to Partake of the Divine Nature of GOD. See the Series >> the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT <<
2Pe_1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Joh_14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh_14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The Spiritual Gifts and the Promises impart strength, comfort, and support in the Believer’s Ministry and their Life.
THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH
1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1Co 12:3 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.
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 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:
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1Co 12:12 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.
1Co 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1Co 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
1Co 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1Co 12:21 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.
1Co 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
1Co 12:23 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.
1Co 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
1Co 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1Co 12:28 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.
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
There are also Offices and their Attributes given by the same Spirit according to Grace and Faith.
Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
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;
Rom 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Rom 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Rom 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Rom 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
