I've always felt sorry for Martha. She was doing what she thought was right - providing hospitality. There has to be a fine line between "doing" and "being". My wife is a wonderful cook and hostess and I know the work she puts into providing for company. It is hard work but she loves...

I am shocked (though I shouldn't be) at the amount of unbelief that runs wild through these so-called Spirit-filled forums. It keeps me (and my wife) away for most of the time. I've never been able to understand why reading the Word and believing it brings so much division (and hate and...

And if God gives the sickness &/or it is His will, why would one bother going to the doctor to get healed or take medicine? That would be a sin.

I always have liked how Paul Billheimer spoke of prayer in his book Destined for the Throne. "Prayer is not begging God to do something that He is loath to do. It is not overcoming reluctance in God. It is enforcing Christ's victory over satan. It is implementing upon the earth heaven's...

Hi Bob I'm not here in the forum very often, and a fairly newbie, so I have no clue about any problems people have with your posts. You state people come against things you post just because your name is attached to them. Since I don't know the history here, I can't know if that is true or...

While that sounds really humble and godly, it isn't scriptural. The Word is full of scripture that says God promises to give to us when we are willing to give to Him and He's not a man that he should lie. I prefer to hold onto His promises. A motto of life that my wife and I live by is...

Hey Bob I don't think you read correctly or thoroughly, in this old thread. But that's ok. I don't mind being admonished and told what I'm doing wrong, in your opinion - I'm a big boy and can take it! :D

Yes, he seems to be riding the fence. Sad.

Hi Optimax, What about Matthew 7:16? "You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act." If it applies to false prophets, it certainly applies to true Christians. And 1 John 2:4: “If you say you know him and do not keep his Commandments, the truth is not in...

:amen:

You're not alone, Harry. It's one of my pet peeves to see Him spelled in anyway with lower case. I will even capitalize it if I'm quoting from a version that doesn't. :o

My main bible that I carry with me is Spirit-Filled Life NKJV. My study bible is a parallel version which includes KJV, New Living, Amplified and Message versions. I love it because it opens up scripture in a grand way and I find myself travelling down rabbit holes I never would've gone down...

Wowzers! Thank you very much for taking the time to post these for me, Scott! Much appreciated.:)

Thank you so very much! Your prayers are coveted and your advice about the healing scriptures is good. My wife and I have been praying in the Spirit a lot more, together, the last few days.

Exactly! Why is this so hard to grasp - it is GOOD news!

Ignorance and lack of knowledge have been quoted here a lot in this thread. The Word says that God's people perish for lack of knowledge (ignorance). Hosea 4:6 Sort of similar to ignorance of the speed limit doesn't get you out of the ticket. ;) God doesn't want them to perish, but...

The day I heard that Jesus went to hell, as KCM and others describe it, was one of the most memorable days in my Christian walk. I read "What Happened from the Cross to the Throne" and everything clicked for me - all of my unanswered questions even going back to being a kid in Catholic school...

Harry, you're the best, man:thumbsup: We have this book by KCM. My wife's read it a couple times, me only once and I kinda skimmed through it. Thanks for the recommendation to read it again. Thanks for sharing your stories, too. Semper Fi

Good advice, Scott. I haven't been praying in the Spirit as much as I used to. :doh: Thanks for the reminder.
