In Exodus 33:16, Moses asked God two very profound questions: "How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

Today, in the Administration of the Sacred Secret, God (and the Lord Jesus Christ) goes with each Christian via His gift of holy spirit that He (via Christ) deposited within us. It is the holy spirit that is to distinguish us from those who do not have it, BUT no one can see or know we have it unless we manifest it by speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, a message of knowledge, a message of wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, gifts of healings, working of miracles. The theme for this issue of The Sower is Walking by the Spirit, and John Schoenheit has an article on each of these marvelous abilities that every Christian is to be utilizing.

John Lynn's lead article, Attention: Full Time Ministers of the Gospel, shows how Jesus Christ diversified himself by pouring out the gift of holy spirit upon each person who makes him Lord. Each then becomes a full time minister of the Good News, and the Lord Jesus, the Head of the Church, will mentor each of us in our individuals ministries. Dan Gallagher’s report on his trip to the Philippines to meet with our leaders there is most inspiring, as he talks about building An Enduring Work of Truth.
