The Kitchen Table Devotional
1 Corinthians 12 Day 1
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:1-3
Now all this talk about submission comes into play. The Holy Spirit comes with power to equip and empower us for the ministry of Jesus and only those who learn to submit to God will truly grow in these gifts for this life. We were all born as babies and had to grow up into adults. The same is true spiritually, we must grow up in the things of God by submitting to His word and His work in our lives. As we learn to submit to the Holy Spirit we will learn how to speak “Jesus is Lord” over the issues and individuals of our lives. That’s where the power is in this life.
