And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; amd some, pastors and teachers; (Ephesians 4:11 KJV) Pastor Michael Youssef stated, that when we are born again, into the family of God, we receive a spiritual birthday gift. JESUS sent forth the twelve Apostles. (see Matthew 10) JESUS sent forth other seventy, two by two. (see Luke 10) {Luke 10:2 says, Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore The Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.} As children of GOD, we are to use our spiritual gifts to edify (build up) the people of GOD. Today, apostles go to new locations and start (plant) churches. Prophets speak for GOD. They encourage, exhort, and edify The Body of Christ. (see 1 Corinthians 14:3) Evangelists stir up members of the church, and compel others to be soul winners. Pastors and teachers are commissioned to feed the local church. Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 list various spiritual gifts. {But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. (1 Corinthians 12:11 KJV)} Let us use our spiritual gifts, and give glory to GOD. In JESUS' Name. Amen.

If you do not know JESUS personally as Lord and Savior, receive Him into your heart, Today. You may say the following prayer, or you may use your own words. Dear GOD, Thank You for sending Your Son JESUS to die on the cross for the sins of the world, and Him rising again on the third day. I ask that You forgive me of my sins. Please come into my heart and help me to live for You. In JESUS' Name. Amen.
If you said the prayer, and meant it in your heart, Welcome to the Family of GOD. Continue in The Lord. Let the light of The Lord shine through you.
