SEPARATING THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PHYSICAL
THE HIDDEN MEANING
INTRODUCTION
In these next scriptures, we at VAL-TE’ believe rather than predicting the future, it is a spiritual practice focused on explaining current situations from a divine perspective, offering encouragement, and calling people of faith to align with the truth. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Immanuel accursed, and no one can say that Immanuel is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11 NKJV
Biblical Word
PROCLAIMING THE WORD OF GOD – Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Immanuel. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4: 10-11 NIV
Reference
Romans 3: 1-8 – Do the Jews then have any advantage over the Gentiles? Or is there any value in being circumcised? Much, indeed, in every way! In the first place, God trusted his message to the Jews. But what if some of them were not faithful? Does this mean that God will not be faithful? Certainly not! God must be true, even though all human beings are liars. As the scripture says, “You must be shown to be right when you speak; you must win your case when you are being tried.” But what if our doing wrong serves to show up more clearly God’s doing right? Can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (This would be the natural question to ask.) By no means! If God is not just, how can he judge the world? But what if my untruth serves God’s glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I still be condemned as a sinner? Why not say, then, “let us do evil so that good may come?” Some people, indeed, have insulted me by accusing me of saying this very thing! They will be condemned, as they should be. GNT
Significance
Spiritual Mouthpiece (Translating sayings or complex religious concepts into everyday language that anyone can understand and relate to) – We at VAL-TE’ also believe its goal is to build up the faith of spiritual people, provide clarity during confusing times, and correct behaviors that threaten people of faith’s spiritual well-being. Focusing on delivering God’s message, calling out present injustices, and offering encouragement or moral guidance. Instead of speaking generally about being blessed, encourage people of faith to notice the small, good things happening in their immediate surroundings. Center on core human needs: feeling valued, finding purpose, and knowing you are not alone. Keep the message focused on hope, encouragement, and love rather than an obligation or fear. A practical tool for handling stress, treating people of faith better, and finding personal peace.
