Dear Lenny thank you for your new teaching on the armour of God. It is so important for us to use this armour to battle against the forces of evil. We need to use these spiritual tools to help us. As soldiers of Christ we need to be equipped to defend our faith. Thank you for your talk. God bless you Nadia, your Mum & the children. 🙏🏼💕

Amen 🙏

Thank you Br.Lenny, this is just the reflection we need in today's fast paced life. I find trusting people very difficult, on hearing your thoughts, I must first and foremost go to Our Lord and believe that He will govern my life day by day. God bless you dear brother and your ministry.🙏🙏

Thank you Lenny, very inspiring and comforting and envigorating,you explained these gifts and charisms so articulately,God Bless!

Dear Lenny thank you for your enlightening talk on the general gifts of the Holy Spirit - they may be overlooked but are very important. Whatever gift we are blest with should be used. Serving, giving, leading, showing mercy are powerful charisms even though we may think it is a low profile gift. Every charism helps to build up the church. God bless you Nadia your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Amen 🙏

Dear Lenny thank you for explaining - the 5 fold gifts from the Holy Spirit given to certain people in the church like Apostles, evangelists, priests & teachers to help the laity build up the body of Christ. Each has been called & given these gifts by God! God's blessings on you, Nadia, your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Amen 🙏

Wow Lenny what an amazing teaching. Never heard this before. And you hv put it well so practically to practice as leaders of organizations in our parish,office, schools homes. God bless you abundantly

Dear Lenny this is the first time I have come to know about the charism of exhortation. From what I understand this gift empowers us to be an inspiration of hope & a channel of God's love & encouragement. But mere words are not enough - one must journey along with the person till he is comforted & healed. Your own example shows how a person can change with a good exhorter (your teacher). Our biggest exhorter is Jesus himself because when we walk with him our life changes totally. Thank you Lenny for your inspiring teaching. May God bless you Nadia your Mum & the kids. 💕🙏🏻

Thank you Lenny 🙏 for today's reflection Cannot imagine too that U were rude in ur young age Because ever since I know you , U were kind , approachable, gentle , u had patience to listen to the people and much more And U continue to being the same . God bless you ❤

Amen 🙏

Praise God beautiful teaching. Thank u n God bless you bro Lenny.🙏

Hi Lenny again my comment wrongly came in a reply. Please chk & read.

There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. “Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy, nor is it modern tongues-speech. As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”. As a linguist, I’m very familiar with the study done by the Univ. of PA using SPECT imaging. The results are exactly what one would expect. The reason why the language producing centers of the brain are not overly active in the production of glossolalia (tongues-speech ) is because it is not language; it’s non-cognitive non-language utterance - random free vocalization. As such, these centers in the brain do not need to be overly active - there’s no language being produced. These results have been twisted by certain groups to “evidence” that tongues-speech is the Holy Spirit speaking through the person. Actually, what it evidences is just the opposite - that’s what’s being produced is not at all language.

Alleluia!

Tell me bro in which language God speaks to you? If as you say it's God's language and He spoke to you in the jibberish language you describe would you know what he said? Do you know when this "jibberish" language came into existence? And by whom?? No. It's not the Holy Spirit or the Catholic Church. Do your home work.

Amen 🙏

Dear Lenny, I put my comment accidentally in reply. Please chk. Thank you.

Amen 🙏 God bless you Br for this enlightening reflection

Pray for my good health n prosperity to receive my payments due to me n job for my son Savio needs. Amen

Dear Lenny the charism of healing is a powerful supernatural gift given to us by the Holy Spirit. But one has to be very faith filled & close to God to have this gift. I always thought that only priests can lay their hands on people & heal them. Often during a healing service the priest with the gift of healing even calls out the names that come into his mind. Ive aso attended inner healing services also led by a priest. I thought laity can only pray for healing. Thank you Lenny for your inspiring teaching. God bless you Nadia your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻

Excellent!

Jesus bless my son Savio with suitable job and keep him safe n blessed always. Amen

Thank you for your inspiring talk of encouraging to go thru my pains n patient to overcome my difficulties to receive my rewards thru suffering. Amen

Thank you Lenny for these amazing talks on charisms... I've really got alot of knowledge from ur daily talks.. Thanks be to the Most High God 🙌🏼for helping me come across ur profile during the gifts of the Holy Spirit 🕊️💫 God bless

Dear Lenny, thank you for this inspiring reflection. The power gift of faith is important in our day to day lives when we go through difficult moments. I pray for the faith to believe in the power God has to make everything possible. I always admire those who have an unshakeable trust in God to deliver his promises no matter what. God bless you, Nadia, your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Thanks for this teaching that clarified many misconceptions. There is always a chance that the person prophesying is simply quoting scripture. This may or may not be coming from the gift of prophecy, as anyone familiar with just basic scriptural lines could do that. Discernment in this regard is vital.

Happy Feast ,beautiful reflection on faith,my mother once said to me that its my deep faith in God that has got us all the blessings

Jesus increase my faith as we believe n trust in u that u r a miracle worker promise keeper n protecting n guiding me everyday of my life providing my needs n answering my prayers keeping me safe and well Amen

Happy Feast Lenny ..yes I believe there is nobody who loves n cares for us all provided v have faith n total trust in God 🙏

Dear Lenny, wishing you Nadia your Mum & all the family A Happy Feast of the Sacred Heart. Since childhood we have always revered the Sacred Heart & every year we renew the Act of consecration. May our hearts too be set aflame with love for Jesus. God bless you Nadia & your family. 🙏 ♥️

Happy Feast ✝️

Promises

Happy Feast to you all

Happy Feast, Lenny! May your love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus ignite the hearts of all those who listen to this inspiring video today.

Dear Lenny discernment of the spirits is a very powerful gift - we need this to differentiate between the Holy Spirit & a demonic one. To do this we need to have a close relationship with God. The demonic Spirit will bring chaos, lies & deception in our lives & take us away from the Lord. Thank you Lenny for teaching us how to discern the Spirits. God bless you Nadia, your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Dear Lenny thank you for your teaching today. From what I understand - the gift of knowledge has to do with God giving divine knowledge & insight into certain situations. It is the ability to know supernaturally certain facts. Padre Pio had this gift. I also know a priest & another friend of mine who has this gift. God bless you, Nadia, your Mum & the whole family. 🙏🏻💞

Pray for my good health n prosperity to receive my payments due to me n my son Savio with job which is on hold be released with smooth health issues to join. Thank u for ur prayers. Amen

What powerful gifts the Holy Spirit gives us to build the Body of Christ! Thanks for this simple and clear teaching with the convincing testimonies.

Dear Lenny, thank you for your talk on the charism of wisdom. It is an important gift which allows us to understand things from God's point of view - called God sense whereas the wisdom we receive at Baptism & what we learn from from our parents is common sense. This special gift enables us to help others & the church. May God bless you Nadia & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

❤ Thanks for today's reflection 🙏♥️

Thank you Lenny God bless you ❤

Dear Lenny, thank you for your in depth teaching today on the charisms of the Holy Spirit, of...which Prophecy is the most important - this is the first time I learnt how these gifts are compartmentalized.....Prophecy can come as a message or a warning but basically it helps to encourage, edify & comfort the Congregation. To receive this gift we need to have humility, compassion & love for each other. Some prophecies come to people while praying, but warnings should be discerned only by leaders of the.church. It's been a good teaching today Lenny. God bless you Nadia your & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Hii Brother Lenny nice talk.Brother can you tell me which Study Bible(commentary) are you using?? And where can I get the same version of study Bible in Mumbai??

Dear Lenny, your talk helps us too understand the pitfalls & misuse of charisms. All of us are gifted with different charisms from the Holy Spirit but when these gifts are misused the person believes he is exceptional & does not acknowledge that it is the Holy Spirit working in his life. Love & humility are important in overcoming the misuse of charisms. We need to recognise this dark side of people who misuse their charisms. God bless you Nadia your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

Dear Lenny, recognizing & discernment of charisms is a special gift bestowed on us by the Holy Spirit! But we have to cultivate a close relationship with God, relying on His wisdom & guidance. But all our charisms need to be worked under the authority of a mentor. Thank you Lenny for your encouraging talk. May God's blessings be upon you Nadia, your Mum & the children. 🙏🏻 💞

When we keep His Commandments ,we are already building God's Kingdom

Bless you

Thank you Brother Lenny for your wonderful teaching on the Charisms of the Holy Spirit
