Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] Re: Simple Thoughts On Promises- 124

My sister that brought me into the church is so jealous of me, I told her she has some of the same gifts I do she just needs to use them more. The more you use your gifts the more God gives you.. Like the talents in the Bible the more He trust you with the more He will give. Thats why we aren't seeing the miracles we should be seeing too many people are afraid to use thier gifts.

There is no greater love than this, to give up your life willingly for others.

Thanks for your testimony. Yeah, sometimes pastors are jealous if people under them have greater gifts like that of prophecy or healing and that can lead to a clash.
Be obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. That will bring you peace.
