That you shall see.
And you shall know.
And you shall be.
And you shall go
Into the heavens, and into the depths of the earth
I will use you,
for I did choose you.
And you are the purpose of My plan.
You, incarnate, before Me now do stand,
And even sit at My right Hand.
And these things are being revealed to you
for they’re too much for your head to understand.
But even in your mind you’ll see more and more
and know who you are,
and that I am at the door of your heart,
willing to impart to you as we sup together:
great and glorious and wondrous things to come.
And you shall see in your very own nation
what it means when the Incarnation,
the Church, the Body of the Living Head takes Her place.
And instead of those who know not My plan,
you will bring into being One Who is the Son at My right hand,
And I will show you. I will show YOU.
It won’t be of great length, but there will be a time
when the head of this nation will know the plans that are Mine.
Stand in faith, and believe to see
what I the Lord have implanted in thee,
to My glory.
Look not around you and
give voice to the darkness that is there.
Oh it’s there, that’s true.
Oh, but in that darkness I shine a great Light;
The Light of My Countenance.
Walk in that Light!
Learn to see, speak, hear and obey
In another place above the fray.
Keep your mind on things above,
and know that things will move
according to the Plan of the God of Love.
You’ll say things you didn’t intend to say.
You will intend to make a statement and it will come out another way,
and that’s because you have given Me your vessel to occupy,
and your tongue to say, what I want said,
and it will be something completely apart from your head.
Bless the Lord!
Oh Lord, we just give ourselves to You afresh and anew,
Do with us what You want to do.
In Jesus’ Name we thank You. Praise You, Lord!
There are points in time of the Plan.
Though I’m eternal, points in time matter to man,
and there came in the fullness of the times the Incarnate Babe.
But now, there’s another marker. There’s another time.
And you’re going into it now, and things are changing,
and I am the "How" of Rearranging...EVERYTHING!
For My Purpose, and My Plan shall not be abated, aborted—but it shall stand!
Bless the Lord, Hallelujah, thank You, Lord!
Yes! You’ve grown!
And you know it too!
That is My plan for you!
And you’ve been faithful to pray, and to do.
You have no idea how many things were avoided
because you prayed,
because you stayed,
together.
And I’ll use you more!
You have come through another door!
You’re there now!
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise You Father!
We do believe it! Because we do receive it.
We do believe it, and teach us how to fulfill the ministry,
this heavenly ministry You’ve called us to.
In Jesus Name we praise you and give you glory forever and ever.
Amen.

Now about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed.
You know that when you were heathen, you were led off after idols that could not speak [habitually] as impulse directed and whenever the occasion might arise.
Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit.
Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.
And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served].
And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.
To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit;
To another [wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit;
To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues.
All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.
For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.
For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.
If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?
If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?
If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell?
But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation.
But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be?
And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body.
And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak.
And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum),
Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance],
So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the parts [share] the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members [share in] the enjoyment of it.
Now you [collectively] are Christ's body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].
So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:1-28
He Who descended is the [very] same as He Who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest).
And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.
His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church),
[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.
So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.
Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love. Ephesians 4:10-16
