Even though some Christians are too timid to evangelize, we are all called to contend for the truth.

Paul Washer is a man full of godly wisdom. And thank you Jonny this video is good and will be a blessing to the body of Christ.

Spiritual gifts ALWAYS produce Spiritual fruit. This is how you will know what your spiritual gift.

Don’t worry too much about it, love the Lord, love people and serve faithfully Psalm 37: 4: Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 😊

That idolatry part (11:00) just blew my socks off! Wow! What revelation!!!! Praise the Lord for godly people that impart godly counsel/wisdom!

Always a blessing to hear Mr. Paul Washer 🙏

Great Wisdom. The Word is the answer!!! Always and forever.....

This was so helpful, I’m greatly encouraged. When I see broken people I could weep for them (and I do). How I can best serve them and glorify the Lord is steeping myself in the Word so that He will equip me to proclaim the good news of Jesus.

SEEK THE GIVER FIRST, NOT THE GIFT!

many years ago i was saved into the pentacostal doctrine and was immediately expected to hand out tracts on the street and to share the word of God. i was also leading worship because i could play guitar, lead sunday school and house group meetings. i even went knocking on doors to try and share the gospel. i knew very little of scripture and the so called gifts of the spirit. i was led to beleive that my faith was weak if i failed in any of these. because of the lack of real discipleship i fell away and for years i felt i was not good enough and hoped God would forgive me for my lack of faith. now i know what i went through was not the truth. Praise God that he was with me through all my doubts and fears and by his grace led me to lie down in green pastures, beside quite waters and restored my soul. i now now the truth and it has set me free. praise his glorious name

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. This lines up with what Paul Washer was talking about when he said to ask yourself what you want to do. If you delight in God, your desires will be good, and God will be happy to give them to you.

I think that your gift is where you are. Are you helping in the nursery and find joy there? That’s your gift. The aspect of doing where you are- can be so helpful if everyone is so worried about not having a gift.

It is a spiritual gift. It is not something we "figure out." God gives it to us when He determines it is necessary to be used by us. The will of God is a description of the inheritance we have received through faith in Jesus Christ. Live your life and God will produce His fruit in and through you. Don't complicate it.

The grace gifts are appropriated by the Lord Jesus, Himself, not by "the laying on of the hands by the presbytery", 1 Tim 4:14. Paul (the apostle) got knocked off his horse by the glory and voice of the Lord Jesus- and thus the Lod Jesus began Paul's salvation ans sending all at once. Grace takes many forms, but is always intercession from God's Throne of Grace. The presbytery in Antioch layed hands on him and Barnabus after he and Barnabus had already been sent. Acts 13:2-4; & 9:15 & 16. When seeking to practice your gift, beware of the paid preachers. You will seem to them to be in competition for their "filthy lucre", 1 Pet 5:1-4. "Be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."- James 1:22. Please consider GraceStudy.weebly.com . On the flip side of this dichotomy, "I commend you to God, and to the Word of his grace."- Acts 20:32&33.

I love these brothers and I will Stand with Paul!

Love it whenever I can listen to some teaching by Paul!

It's so rich to see the body grow, for Elders and Pastors to flourish in the hand of God!!

So appreciate Paul's explanation of gifts. First time, ever, hearing such insight and wisdom about them.

Much needed discussion! You both have different views of the grace gifts. I perceive that Washer has a view similar to my previous Assembly (I got saved in a Plymouth Brethren setting). Two perceptions of the grace gifts have emerged (not even considering the Pentecostal views). The two could be defined as day-to-day workers in the field view and paid preachers view. Washer, probably not realizing it, seems to favor the paid preachers view. At the beginning, Washer skipped over the primary requirement when citing one of the most important passages related to the grace gifts. He quoted Romans 12, but started at verse 2 rather than verse 1, when citing how to know the will of God. Paul (the apostle in the field) in verse 1 says , "Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship." The Book says that commitment is preclusive to knowing God's will (as well as a renewed mind). The old saying goes that the cook and the guests have differing levels of commitment to the Thanksgiving dinner, but the turkey is wholly committed. As well as offering your whole self to the Lord's service, prayer goes together with the grace gifts- like peas and carrots. Please also see www.GraceStudy.weebly.com .

Valuable insight. Thank you.

Be blessed brother Paul.

When i was in the Word for 3 hours a day and praying to charge my self upon in my most holy spirit to be able to receive/perceive the gifts of the Spirit, when my giftings manifested that defined what my calling was. Giftings are particular to callings. Also, God was speaking to me through and giving me "the vision" for my life. While i was expecting an actual vision, the "vision" form I received was God speaking to me in the Word, the bible. The Word says to write the vision down and wait for it, that, as i mature, the vision will msnifest.

There's a lot more to "ascertaining your spiritual gift" than just discerning what it is you want to do in the body of Christ - a lot more. This video only touches the surface of that question and, frankly, doesn't get to the heart of the matter. Digging more into the Word, especially in 1st Corinthians, and all it has to say about the subject, will go much farther in answering the question.

I’ve been affirmed in a teaching gift for the congregation and now teach a ladies group, but when it comes to vocation/evangelistic- when he said what keeps you up at night- oh man! It’s got to be writing Christian evangelical fiction. In 15 years that desire has not left

Good conversation. Gifts are given by God through the Holy Spirit and are not always alike. “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” (‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭6‬, ‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬) The best counseling you can give to people is helping them to find their answers in the Word of God in order to teach to depend from God and His Word and not from you.

This so true I didn't even realize I had become a pharisee christian at 17 but fail, with my continued sin and then walk away out of shame because and also looking at my peers as I grew up. Just now have I been humble and fully crush, one thing I love is reading scripture and learning about God knowing him more, A.W Tozer and Leonard Ravenhill with Paris Reidhead my biggest human inspirations after Christ. I didn't realize such could be a gift, I am able to speak in tongues and also feel the Holy Spirit in such a deeper measure now that I Have repented and seen His Light more greater than the little I had taste. I don't care about any of such gifts all I want is to know God more through his word and his lonesome prophets. That is my joy now, while I let The Holy Spirit do what it wants. This life is just too full of distractions until you truly are Still o is so Great.

I've tried to take those "Spiritual gift assessments" more than once and had to stop because they never seemed scriptural to me.

Q: Are the churches in Revelation one church with one gospel addressed by locality culture or several church denominations with different doctrines?

Paul never asked any body what to do, but he was leaded by the Holy Spirit. And, he just preached the cross. Few years later he went to the rest. The Bible said!!

At minute 11:00 he addresses something crucial. We believers are to be counsels by GOD Himself in ALL areas of our life. Psalm 32 and Isaiah 30 address this very plainly. We are inundated with messages about life. Voices other than GODS Word are constantly telling us what to do and think. We must shut those voices out. Cut them off and go to GOD Himself through His Word and prayer. He will guide us in all areas. But are we willing to seek His counsel and wait on Him?

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the Spiritual gift. Whatever the Spirit of God testifies, it testifies faithfully of the Word of God. We have I fear, idolized the whole idea of Spiritual Gifts. We deem a Pastor more than the one who picks up the broom. We deem the evangelists higher than the one who ministers to the sick....and so on. We're not the Avengers. We truly need to stop putting stumbling blocks in front of believers. Some are in serious doubt as to whether they're saved all because of the perception of one gift being better than the other. And it's why we've seen the rise of the hirelings working for wages in these mega churches, because it's a doctrine well taken advantage of by them to profit. Trust in our Lord and that the Spirit of God that testifies of Him will do the work through us when required. For those struggling with this topic, please just keep in His Word and be ever in earnest prayer. The more you learn about the character of God and what He saved you from, you will be compelled by His love to not only learn more about Him....but to do what is pleasing in His sight.

When the broom guy offers some great insights at the Bible study, no one really pays much attention b/c the bible study leader is the one who has all the knowledge.

@@kristenspencer9751 absolutely! Paul puts it as being still carnal when we get caught up with who we're following, who's our Pastor, who got this and that gift, who's got the most crowns going into heaven etc. The one who knows us better than ourselves is our creator, our Father in heaven. And the Word of God promised to send the Holy Ghost. So we must trust that the Head of His church will dispense according to His Will, what He needs us to do. The focus on spiritual gifts can become idolatry, is when not only we spend time comparing and using it as an excuse to gain a following....but also when we use it to proclaim our works as a point of boasting. The ones in the Bible who forwarded to Jesus their grand achievements....even going as far as casting out devil's....thinking that they were going to get a pat on the head, only to have Jesus turn around and tell them to depart for He never knew them. That's one part of the Bible I fear the most....to have Christ just turn around and tell you to depart. As you rightly highlight, Paul does warn against such behaviour simply because it's how those who have not been born again, regenerated and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, conduct themselves....as we did before we got saved. I think this borderlines into "what can I do for God?"....by that I mean, trusting in the works before the saving and justification by faith. The cart before the horse so to speak. I've seen people covet other people's gifts and have seen church splits because of such mentalities. It's sickening. Paul exhorts us to be humble and esteem each other better than ourselves.

He and John Bevere could pass for brothers.

What about the spiritual gift of knowing that Jesus is the Savior of the world? As western churches been teaching the opposite since around the 6th century...

In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. He created humans too to have a relationship with Him. That's our purpose as humans that have a relationship with God. Sin, however, messed that up because it made us imperfect and imperfect creatures cannot have a relationship with a perfect and holy God. That's why we so oftentimes feel empty, unsatisfied and unaccomplished because we're not in relationship with the God we were created to be in a relationship with. But that's where Jesus comes in. Jesus is God's son and He came down to earth in human form to live the same life we do yet unlike us He never sinned. Jesus is perfect. Yet despite the fact He is perfect He died on the cross for our sins and sacrifice Himself for us. The punishment for our sins is death but because Jesus took that punishment for us if we put our faith in Him and receive Him as Lord and savior we can be reconciled to God and be restored to that relationship we were created to have. And we can be sure that Jesus is the Son of God because on the 3rd day God raised Him from the dead and in that He defeated death and the grave, proving that He can do the same for us if we put our faith in trust in Him. That's how you get to Heaven. That's how you become full in your heart. That's how you become reconciled to the God who created you.

1st Corinthians 12. Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren I would not have you ignorant. (They are as follows according to the word of God) word of knowledge, word of wisdom, faith, prophecy, divers kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues, gifts of healing , the working of miracles, and the discerning of spirits .

I asked god paul and he showed me you 😂

Discerning that God loves the whole world and He died for EVERYONE is a good start to discerning your ability to hear God through His Word and not by listening to those whose idea of God is shallow, pretentious and illogical when taken to its ultimate conclusion.

Todos somos pecadores. "Por cuanto todos pecaron, y están destituidos de la gloria de Dios." - Romanos 3:23. Merecemos el infierno por nuestros pecados ("Porque la paga del pecado es muerte; mas el don de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro" - Romanos 6:23), pero Jesucristo (Dios hecho carne y el Hijo de Dios) murió por los pecados de todo el mundo en la cruz, fue sepultado y resucitó al tercer día, probando que tiene poder sobre la muerte y para resucitarte. En el momento que confías (crees) en Jesucristo para vida eterna, Dios te la regala y estás seguro para siempre, tu pasaje al cielo es garantizado, no se puede perder una salvación eterna. Jesucristo dijo en Juan 6:47: "De cierto, de cierto os digo, el que cree en mí tiene vida eterna." En Juan 3:16 dijo: "Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en Él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna." Podemos saber con seguridad que somos salvos según 1 Juan 5:13: "Estas cosas os he escrito a vosotros que creéis en el nombre del Hijo de Dios, para que sepáis que tenéis vida eterna, y para que creáis en el nombre del Hijo de Dios." La salvación es un regalo y no es por obras, solo por fe (la fe no es obra) según Efesios 2:8-9: "Porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros pues es don de Dios, no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe." Dios les bendiga en el nombre de Jesucristo. Amén

Garbage... The Holy Spirit bestows gifts to believers to do His will. He does it His way in His time and for His purposes. You don't ask men about what God has for you. Through prayer and supplication it will be revealed to you. You don't ask leadership in your church about what gifts the Holy Spirit has for you. That is cessationist hogwash.

@@ryfidelity7854 he states that in order to find out what gifts you have been given by the Holy Spirit, you need to ask your church leadership.

You "earnestly desire" and ask God for gifts.. It's not a personality trait 🤦

I was always told I had discernment since childhood, and I could tell you, Paul Washers a very bad man to follow.

Dude doesn't even believe in the gifts.. Def not the guy to ask

Paul Washer is a clearly marked false teacher.

@@hudsonpringle2746 they would be daming errors if hell existed in a literal sense. Paul Washer is a pious self righteous and tortured teacher, he's about as bad as they get - you can say saved by grace then preach against it hard, and its no better than saying the wrong thing. Inspecting others works, for accompaniment, isn't biblical, its pharisee behavior, and its false. Lordship salvation produces mentally ill defeated people and ruins kids lives. Loss of salvation, fruit inspecting, backed by hell = the depart from me, I never knew you crowd.
