1 Corinthians 13 - Corps Notes - W. Cummins - February 2, 1983
Typed notes on I Corinthians 13. I Corinthians 13 CORPS NIGHT February 12, 1983 INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS REV. WALTER CUMMINS The greatest chapter on love. In chapter 12 of I Corinthians in verses 4, 5 and 6 it says there are diversities or distributions of gifts, administrations, and operations but it is the same Spirit, the same Lord, the same God that energizes all of these things. It is one God. That word "same," was a key word in this section of Corinthians. Now all the things that were said before (in Chap-ters 1 through 11), dealt with the practical problems at Corinth. All those things had to be said by way of reproof before he [Paul] could get to the great subject of the manifestations and how to utilize those manifestations in the Body, in order to correct the practical problems they had at Corinth (or that you have in any church where the believers are not walking according to the revelation that's recorded in the Book of Romans). Therefore, chapter 12 could not have appeared before this point. Contrary to the pagan concepts of having a different idol/god/ devil spirit for each operation, it is the same God, the same Spirit that energizes each of the manifestations/gifts/services, in the Body of Christ. It is the same God, not a different god, for each different function in the Body. In [Chapter 12] verse 7, "...to each is given the manifestation of the spirit for profit...." The words "to each" is the second key word ("same" was one key word). The words "to each" are used because all the manifestations are spoken of collectively here because they are like one body/one unit and they are to each believer (not just a certain selected one, but to each believer) and that's why that was such a key word. The other key word was "profit." If there is no profit, then what good is it? There has got to be a profit for it to be a genuine manifestation of the spirit. Then of course, in verses 8, 9 and 10 he lists the manifestations and behind a number of them he says
