The Power of Pentecost

Edification, Unity & Peace

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace.

The Church should be:

Speaking in tongues ✓

Interpreting in certain situations ✓

Prophesying ✓

Desiring spiritual gifts ✓

Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓

All things done decently and in order ✓

We must trust God to let Him say what is "decent" and "in order" and not our tradition.

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order. I Corinthians 14:37-40 NKJV

Women Be Quiet in Church - WHAT?

September 15, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • 1 Timothy 2:8–15, 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 14, Mark 7:3, Galatians 3:27–29

Church we have taken scripture that was meant for a specific people, with a specific issue, during a specific time, and used it in 2024 as God's law, rather than recognizing it as the law and tradition of man. There are no laws according to God that says that women cannot speak in church. Paul did not contradict himself in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 and chapter 11. Women - you have the same access & right to the promises of Abraham as heirs of Christ, as the men do. We must stop comparing ourselves with one another, pushing one another down. We must be secure in who we are in Christ. Be secure Woman! Be Secure Man! You must be who God called you to be.

Holy Spirit is IN YOU for NEW LIFE, and He comes UPON YOU for POWER & GIFTS for ministering to people. Tongues is a gift we receive when we are baptized in Holy Spirit, allowing us the ability to speak to God, and in the spirit speak mysteries. The Church must not forbid it. It's going to be essential for all believers, the Church, to operate in the Power of Holy Spirit in the days to come. The wisdom needed in the end days comes from the Bible, and it's available. We must be on the cutting edge of prophecy. What is God saying in this hour?

The Power of Pentecost

What does the Bible have to say about TONGUES & PROPHECY? Chad Everett breaks it down verse by verse, in a teaching on 1 Corinthians 14. He who SPEAKS IN A TONGUE, speaks 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗢𝗗. He who PROPHESIES, speaks 𝗧𝗢 𝗠𝗘𝗡. Tongues is Vertical. Prophecy is Horizontal. Speaking in a tongue under the inspiration of Holy Spirit is in an unknown language that's not understable to the hearer, but requires interpretation for the hearer to be understood. Tongues does not require interpretation to be inspired by God. Tongues requires interpretation to be understood. Everyday we as believers needs to speak in tongues to be edified and built up. Speaking in tongues is for all believers. Biblical prophesying is speaking three things - edification, exhortation & comfort, under the inspiration of Holy Spirit in a known language understandable to the hearers. Pursue Love & Desire, Go After, Be Excited & Passionate and Set Your Heart on Spiritual Gifts.
