As born-again believers should we be content to sit and hear?

Certainly not. As discussed on another one of your stimulating threads, I have dishes to be washed. You should NOT be content to just sit there.

In some ministries , that may all people can do , as if you start to having prophecy for the church, or laying on hand and praying for others then the ushers at the meetings could show them the door .................Still people need to open up the gifts of the Holy spirit and find a scripture for the gifts and exercises the gifts which God has given ................. God requires His Children to have the fruits of the spirit and need them to exercises them , and God also requires that all His children move to remove selfishness from their spirit , and go and help others with the gifts of the Holy spirit that God brought them in one way or the other...........................If there is no gifts of the spirit of Christ , then people must pray and receive the baptism of Holy spirit , where being born again comes alive and God expects all His children to receive this as part of being born again ..........With the baptism of Holy Spirit people will know the inner witness of Christ and power to overcome the sin of the world will be there and then to help others get save will be the plan Jesus has ......

NO ministry should be content to sit. Just step outside the four walls of the institutional church and there is so much that can be done just 30 yards down the driveway...

Default Becoming An Activator Of The Word

Paul, the apostle, instructed us to walk purposefully toward one true goal (the DESTINY He has put in our spirit).

This is not a time to wander around the mountain of defeat and unbelief; we are to lay hold of the promises of God, take Him at His word, and stand firm in faith. Rather than just being content to sit and hear, we become activators of the Word. God has destined us to walk in His PURPOSE for our life.

"...I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be....forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead." - Philippians 3:12,13 (Living Bible)

A "Born Again" Believer as been "REBORN" with the Holy Spirit of God within their SOUL.

Sent by God's Son Jesus because the New Soul REPENTED (turn from your sins and sought forgiveness thru God's Son Jesus) and followed Jesus, rather then the things of this World.

Repent and follow Jesus God's ONLY Gift to mankind.
