You dont close your ears when you received the message of God

"And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]." 1 Thes. 2:13
Does your love conform to this "Love is patient, love is kind, Love does not insist on its own way. Love bears all things, believes all things, Hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails"
I Corinthians 13:4-8 How about your love
The mark of Spirit filled man and woman is the fruit they bear. The Bible is crystal clear at this point. Giftedness does not determine greatness in God's book. Jesus said "You will know them by their fruits." Not by how anointed one may appear to be. Not by the miracles one perform. Not by the revelation knowledge...... one claims to have. We will recognize God's hand of blessing on men and women by the fruit they bear. A man who claims to be doing miracles by the power of the Spirit but who exhibits no fruit of the Spirit in his life is either lying or confused. Spiritual gifts glorify God and build up the Body of Christ. Gifts should never be misused, envied, or cause division. Don't be like the Corinthian believers who were so impressed by the gifts and wonder of spiritual gifts that they lost their perspective and forgot the purpose of these gifts. Our gifts, talents, and abilities should build up other believers and bring unity in the church.
