<I havn't read all the posts, just skimmed through them, so sorry if i repeat sum stuff alrdy said>

Well, what i want to tell you is that everything YOU try to make happen, so not by praying for it and letting God do the work, is NOT of God.

So if you sit down and try to make a pencil roll with your mind, it's not you or God who is doing it, but something very bad. You don't have any 'powers', or the Bible wouldn't tell us to pray for the Gifts of God, would it? The Devil likes to give gifts too, God isn't the only one. The difference between Gods Gifts and the Devils, is that the Devils are for personal thrills and Gods are for helping others. When you make a pencil roll you don't help others. So if you don't help others it's not a Gift of God... it's just a new trick you recieved from the Devil. You recieve the Gifts of God when you rely on Him... if you do something by your own will, it's not God who will give the gift. The Devil will encourage you to listen to your own will and not to Gods, so he will give you that power so you keep on doing it, till you only have his gifts and not Gods.

Hope that is a little clear...

God Bless,
***SmElLy***

Tyler-

I am sorry, but what you are saying is not very likely. Miracles do exist, but only on God's terms, not ours. I think it probable that you are deceiving yourself.

You see, God created the universe and all the physical laws in it. At times, He breaks those physical laws, but it does not happen very often and ONLY at His choosing. Not ours. If He did, God would become an errand boy - left to the whimsical desires of women and men.

I would advise you to quit deceiving yourself and enjoy God for who He is. You do not need to think that you have some sort of supernatural power in order to think yourself special. God already thinks you are special.

I will pray for you.
