Amen and amen. The first step in being wise is learning that you'll never know everything, and you can be wrong. Only the wisest of us become wise by being humble and accepting correction.

Wasn't it said that believing is not enough, that even demons believe and tremble? But it is about where our obedience lies. Are you living for yourself, or the Lord? Are you spending more time on message boards than that quality time with your Father? Are you sinning, knowing that God died to...

If you could be more specific, maybe I can be as well. I apologize, because my focus isn't on necessarily on the how-tos... Just the WHO. It's nothing that I do except step out out in faith, believing that everything Jesus says it's true, and let the urges, nudges, taps, and whispers of the...

I'm not sure what you're wanting, a step-by-step process? Well, if I see someone in pain, I pray for them, command whatever infirmity it is to be loosed, and God does the rest. Basically whatever the Holy Spirit leads you to do. It's not I who does the healing, I just become a 'faith vessel' if...

The keyword being Lord. The Lord tells us what to do, and we obey. If you've allowed Him to be Lord, you no longer live for yourself, you are a slave to Christ. We deny all of our wants, desires, etc. until HIS wants and desires for us begin to take fruition. So, like I said, if we do not...

Sure! My experiences with healings and deliverance from spirits just comes by faith in His word, an4 having a personal relationship with Him. Not just by reading His word, but meditating on it, asking Him about it, and obeying what He told me to do. He says that if you say to a mountain to move...

:preach: It depends on what you call 'works'. It is nothing we can do in our Earthly bodies or our own will to be saved, but we must ACCEPT and OBEY him. My question remains, does one just have to accept one time, then go and do what they see fit? Is that all it takes? I do not believe that to...

If we go and sin anyway, why does Jesus say 'Go and sin no more?' Why all the talk of taming the tongue, put ON righteousness and cast away our old nature, etc.? Why all the fuss if we 'do it anyway'? We will never be perfect, and will sin, but the point is to become so close to God, walk in the...

I apologize, it's late and my mind is jumbled. :D I was simply saying that you don't need money to bless people, but it can be used as a blessing. There are people out there with major financial difficulties, and money would sure turn their lives around. Does God need money to bless people? No...

Amen, brother. Be not conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. I wonder just how many 'Christians' are more transformed by what they watch on TV, gossip, what they read on message boards, what they read in the news, etc.. I wonder how many people not only...

^ Amen. In this day and age, it is safe to say that a majority of the money ANYONE receives is from working, or if you're disabled, an SSI.. Or maybe even welfare. And honestly, how are you going to bless people without money? In light of that, you can still give and bless others without it. I...

Healing, casting out spirits, and simply talking about God are something everyone can do! I have faith in all 3 and see them manifest quite regularly. If your heart stays close to the Spirit of God, with the words of Jesus in your heart, believing and trusting that what He says will come to pass...

Amen, Michael. There is a spirit of pride and self-righteousness in these forums. Not singling anyone out, it seems to be the norm around here. It saddens me to see it on all places, a Christian forum. We are called to love and be long-suffering, I see bickering and hastiness. I'm all about...

I feel very gracious to have been blessed with an evangelical call. It's my heart to give, travel, preach, and love. Before I accepted Christ, this was who I was. This is a more recent revelation that all the desires of my heart coincide with what God wants ALL of us to do anyway. I thank God...

Let me ask, in all due respect, then, once we are saved and accept the gift of salvation... Let's just say I changed my mind and jumped right back into sinning, or let's just say I became a Satanist and then died suddenly. Is my salvation secure? Salvation isn't of works, we agree on that, but...

I couldn't agree more with you, candle glow. I've thrown money down, under my feet, out of my heart. I do not NEED money, I need Jesus. And guess what, if one of my needs just so happens to involve money, Jesus will find a way to get it to me. I use my own money to bless others, I give more than...

The same thing that's special about you, r21c, the fact He loves us regardless! You are extremely loved by God and I love you too man. Not because I know you, or I'm homosexual, but because you're another human being with wants and needs and desires, with a brain and intelligence, who deserves...

Candle glow, amen. So many people say, 'if you don't work, you don't eat.' Hmm, as far as I know, Elijah didn't work a typical job that has any monetary gain, yet he was still fed, clothed, and taken care of. John the baptist lived his life in the desert, eating locusts and wild honey, until...

I agree with you, kind of. We are free from the effect of sin (death) only if we consciously are aware that sin is always crouching at the door, and do not do it. If all of are future sins are forgiven, why does Jesus say 'Go and sin no more?'I may be misunderatanding you, but are you saying...

The point is to love God, hate sin, and repent when you do. It's a process and should be a prevelant process to get closer to God. And no, while we may never be completely free from sin, the more we seek God, the less we'll sin. It's just cause and effect. The more you live by the spirit, the...
