His Infernal Ministry – The Performance Of The Unholy Spirit – In Terms Of Territory

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Jeff Jones

The #treatment must fit the #disease. That is why we are covering this series that Brother Tommy delivered on #Satan, our adversary. When the Bible talks about the world or worldly things, what is it talking about? Are there different uses of the word ‘world’ in the Bible? What is the territory of the devil? Who or what is the body of Christ and who or what is the body of Satan? How did the devil get so much authority over the world? Why would God allow this? What does Satan want us to think and feel about his territory, our physical surroundings? What promises do we have about the power of God over this world and its influence? Why did we do a whole series on the Holy Spirit before we started this one? How does Satan use the world as a lure? What is meant by the lust of the flesh? How about the lust of the eyes or the pride of life? What is the progression from thought to deed? What solution did Paul give us to avoid worldliness?

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Jeff Jones

Hopefully, this series on the #Devil is helping to show you whom we are up against. Back in 1975, Brother Tommy spoke about all the #conflict he observed in the world. It has not gotten any better today. Why? Satan has made a career out of manufacturing conflict. Was Lucifer created good or bad? What have been the consequences of Satan exercising his own will instead of God’s will? What is the continuous subtext throughout the Old and New Testaments? How can we know by reading the last book of the Bible how the curse announced in the first book of the Bible will come to fruition? On which side of this conflict do you want to be?

His Infernal Ministry – The Person Of The Unholy Spirit – His Being And Beginning

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Jeff Jones

We just finished a series of messages on the #HolySpirit. Now we start an informative and necessary series on #Satan or the #Devil. Brother Tommy wanted to inform us about this subject without giving more relevance or power to him. Some people decry even the existence of Satan, but what does the Bible say about him? Where and when did Satan originate? Was he created as an angelic being? Is he eternal? What did Lucifer look like? Is he wise and talented? What is wrong with the caricature of a red ugly demon running around with a pitchfork? What about Satan’s position informs us about the struggle between man and himself over the dominion of the Earth? What was the source of his downfall? What are the limits of his power? What tools have we been given to resist? Why didn’t God prevent Satan’s fall or man’s for that matter?

His Internal Ministry – The Pertinence Of The Holy Spirit – Giving Word Gifts

Posted on January 21, 2019 by Jeff Jones

Last week, we learned about #work #gifts from the #HolySpirit and this week, we are going to learn about what Brother Tommy calls #word gifts (not to be confused with the Fruit of the Spirit). What is discerning of spirits? Interestingly, the Bible says discerning of spirits and not people. What can we do to build this word gift? Is it possible that more of us Believers have been given the gift of evangelism than we are aware? What is involved in the gift of exhortation? What is the gift of interpretation and how does it need to be present before the use of another gift? Who showed us the gift of the word of knowledge in the Bible? Music, although not specifically defined as a gift, is presented throughout the Bible. Do you desire the gift of prophecy? Good, Paul said you should, but it may not look like what you think it does. Teaching is a more often seen gift, but it is still too rare. Is there a more controversial gift than speaking in tongues? What about wisdom and how does it differ from knowledge?

His Internal Ministry – The Pertinence Of The Holy Spirit – Giving Work Gifts

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Jeff Jones

What is an #apostle? Were they just the hand picked followers of #Christ or is the #HolySpirit still enabling Believers with the work gift of apostleship today? I personally have a friend who has the work gift of craftsmanship.

Brother Tommy next details the work gift of faith and how it differs from saving Faith. What about the gift of giving? Is it only for the well off individual? What is it about the gifts of healing that makes us unsettled? Does God always want someone healed? What do we need to know about the gift of leadership? How about mercy? Are there still miracles being performed? Which gift refers to feeding and caring for the flock? And finally, similar to pastoring but standing on its own is serving. What is the reward for using these gifts properly?
