#Many gifts one spirit series#
For five nights the Protestant community at our location and our sister bases got together for a series of worship services and fellowship gatherings. Food was organized and the musicians were lined up. We reached out to other American chaplains at nearby bases and enlisted the participation of some of our coalition partners as well. Fortunately, the other Protestant chaplain on base was a Southern Baptist and was extremely familiar with organizing such an event. In early October our Roman Catholic wing chaplain asked if it would be possible for us to organize a Protestant revival. One of the most rewarding events from my recent deployment came midway through the rotation. 11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says “Let Jesus be cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.Ĥ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit 5 and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (NRSV)ġ2 Now concerning spiritual gifts,brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 29 All the Israelite men and women whose hearts made them willing to bring anything for the work that the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done, brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord. 27 And the leaders brought onyx stones and gems to be set in the ephod and the breastpiece, 28 and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 25 All the skillful women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun in blue and purple and crimson yarns and fine linen 26 all the women whose hearts moved them to use their skill spun the goats’ hair. 24 Everyone who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord’s offering and everyone who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work, brought it.
23 And everyone who possessed blue or purple or crimson yarn or fine linen or goats’ hair or tanned rams’ skins or fine leather, brought them. 22 So they came, both men and women all who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and pendants, all sorts of gold objects, everyone bringing an offering of gold to the Lord. 21 And they came, everyone whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and brought the Lord’s offering to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the sacred vestments.
