Blue Bicycle - word of knowledge

 Good morning 😀

On this blog l do my very best to keep up with the evidence of the Spirit of the Living God alive and well in our daily life.

Here is another l clearly forgot to record.

This scenario happened during my last teaching time at the public school l taught at for 8 years. A young lad from grade 8 asked me about the various gifts of the Spirit.

I replied to him stating that there are 9 gifts of the Spirit.. He asked me sir what is the gift of a word of knowledge. I replied to him saying well my boy it's when God gives you information about something in someone else's life and when you speaker words that you have been given,  the person is shocked that you knew something about them that no one else did. What do you mean sir? To which I replied I saw you riding your blue Bicycle on the weekend and you were coming down a hill, a steep hill, and a bus came up behind you and nearly ran you over. You literally had to swerve out the way and you crushed onto the verge on the side of the road. You were not badly injured.

When I told the boy this information he literally burst out crying and his legs went weak. On his haunches he looked up at me and said sir you have just described what happened to me on Saturday. I was riding my blue Bicycle down the hill here in Morningside, and a bus almost knocked me over. I had to swerve on to the verge and I fell onto the grass. How did you know that? To which I replied I did not know that, but that is how the gift of the Spirit, a word of knowledge functions. 

I was as shocked as the young lad as I had never operated in the gift of knowledge ever. I was just trying to give him an illustration of how it works when the story I used in my illustration was actually a scenario he had found himself in a few days before. 

Her incredible is that, that young boy will never forget that lesson and nor will l.

The gifts of the spirit as recorded in the Bible are still functioning well in those that believe.

SURPRISE INCREASE

God is faithful So here is the short version of what happened Please note upfront: These stories are shared not to impress anyone, but rather to impress upon every one that Almighty God is alive and well One Sunday evening I was watching a Joyce Meyer message. I t was all about her mission work and the one orphanage here in Southern Africa. I felt led in my spirit man to set up a 1 year stop order of R200pm into that orphanage.  I jumped online and did exactly that.  The next day, Monday morning, my immediate manager walks into my office and sits down. He says hey Gav, I have noticed you are always available for call outs etc. I am increasing your salary by R2000 pm How great is our God (Please consider keeping this Blog active during these cataclysmic times of mudslides, family deaths, multiple spiritual attacks, and major loss of income.   paypal.me/gavinstone8  OR Nedbank, cheque, 1192643046, bcode 198765  sincerely appreciated)

HEALED after being paralyzed from the waist down

 Here is what happened: During my National Service days I was involved in a bad car accident when a vehicle smashed into the back of my car at a robot in Durban. I was  stationary and the driver of the other car, apparently high on cocaine, did not see me and hit me at a good 80km per hour. As a result of that  accident, and other small incidents, I ended up having two major spine ops. I spent the best part of 5 months at a local Hospital.  During this time I picked up Meningitis and nearly died So there I am, 21 yrs old, enjoying life, getting focused, ready for a career in Engineering and then suddenly all this.  My wife of today was my high school sweetheart back then. Lying there in that hospital bed, no feeling or use of my legs I encouraged her to leave  me and find someone else. She would have no part in this and stuck in with me during the worst time of my life. She lived the horror story with me,  never leaving me for one moment. That was a ...

"SIR ! I had a dream Kairos is the name"

Duplicate post, but we'll worth the read of what the Spirit of God is doing 😀👍🏽 During my previous 8-year teaching stint at a local high school a bunch of naturally musically talented students started a band. I occupied a large classroom at the very far end of the school property. Matthew, Gareth, Dylan, Wesley to name a few from memory. Long story short, they jammed very very well together making their own songs etc. The call for a name for the band came and we all had to think about it. Being Christ focused we prayed. A few days later l was at a Sunday night preach at the mushroom 🍄 farm, aka Hillcrest Christian fellowship, aka Cityhill 😀 A guest speaker, Greg Haswell spoke on "Kairos times", special moments in time with God. It was revelation knowledge on steroids for me...  I felt very very strongly in my heart that the band's name is to be "Kairos" .  Come Monday morning back at school Wesley rushes into the classroom and says ,"sir sir l had ...
