    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    You're correct--God can and does perform miracles even for the unsaved all the time. Brother Moore is nothing if not thorough! Good choice of series. Thanks.

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    Hi olderguy, I'm so glad you responded this morning! I grew up in upstate NY (outside of Albany). Was also saved in 1981, but that was after I moved to Florida. And I quit smoking in '83, four weeks after I quit drinking. It was pretty tough for me. I so agree with so many things you said...

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    Hi olderguy, That's great that you got to hear Brother Hagin preach! I agree with the things you've said about him. I really trusted him and his ministry. Yes, I believe sin can keep us from seeing results. God is merciful and I think He cuts us a lot of slack, but our sins really can block...

    How has word faith has worked for you?

    I'm sorry if you felt like some of us were preaching at you. My responses to you were what I personally learned from my own very painful missteps in the "Word of Faith" movement. I've learned the hard way in over 3 decades that Word of Faith doesn't work only when we don't "work it" right...

    How has word faith has worked for you?

    I've enjoyed reading your testimonies and really appreciate that you shared them. When we have that "knowing" as Dibs had, it works! The first time I fell under the power, I was in a Methodist church. They had a spirit-filled associate pastor and after the service he would pray with people...

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    I'm so glad to hear that you visit Faith Life Church when you're in the area. He just started a new series on how to be led by the Spirit of God last night, so that promises to be very good. Yes, believing for a new car--thank you Harry! Marcia

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    Happy New Year everyone! I just wanted to mention that it seems like Kenneth Copeland has been talking more about miracles recently. Jeremy Pearsons and Keith Moore spoke about it a few months ago on the daily Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast, which you can watch at kcm.org or on Roku...

    How has word faith has worked for you?

    Okay, Bob, you really put a bug in my ear! I remember hearing about her healing (again, many years ago), but I pulled up the link you sent and found a 30 minute testimony of hers on youtube, so I'll be checking both out. Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    Well said! Yes, all those less flashy things are a really important part of our walk, without which the rest wouldn't mean much. Our day to day lives are "living letters" to the world as much as any miracles they might witness. Thanks for being honest--we've all been there, too. Some of us...

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    Yes, that was a good comment and I don't disagree at all. Yes, Jesus was showing us the glory of God, but it was also for an example for us, as you noted in your message (re: Mark 16:14-18 and other texts). My own thoughts are that if the apostles in Acts 5:12 were performing many signs and...

    How has word faith has worked for you?

    Thank you so much, Bob, I didn't have those! I was talking about a decades-old CD I have of Kenneth Copeland reading healing scriptures. I can't find the CD lately, so I play the MP3 from their website...

    WoF and the Focus on Miracles

    While I agree with your statement on love, I don't think that means we should minimize miracles. God is a big God! I think our modern world prevents many from believing miracles or even expecting them, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have them in abundance operating among believers. Jesus...

    How has word faith has worked for you?

    Sure. I've had it fail! But it isn't God's Word that fails. I've failed to "work it" properly. I wouldn't even know where to start with sharing my experiences. I think one of my problems currently, is that I'm not being patient enough! Just because we "claim" something, doesn't mean it...

    What happened at God.tv

    You're absolutely right. Someone else mentioned watching youtube videos. Well, they have great teaching there, too; but you still have to sort through and prayerfully find trustworthy ministries to follow. There are some very good messages on GodTV. There are only a few I watch because there...

    Question about preachers saying God gave them"revelation"

    Bob has very wise responses to the questions/comments on this thread and it would be good to listen to them carefully. We need to take the whole counsel of God's Word, not just some special word someone has or a verse taken out of context. God is no respecter of persons, the knowledge of...

    Is Joyce Meyer considered Word of Faith?

    Sure does, Harry! I do love the WoF movement and its shield! Thanks.

    Joel Osteen Hope for Today Study Bible or Charles Stanely life principles study bible

    I'm sorry no one responded to you. I'm not familiar with either Bible. I see they are two very different translations of the Bible. You might want to go somewhere like biblegateway.com and compare a chapter or two from each version and see which you like to read better. I have a variety of...

    Is Joyce Meyer considered Word of Faith?

    I listened to her a lot 20-30 years ago, so I can't really speak to how "scriptural" she is now, but she certainly was back then. She really blessed me and helped me grow in the Lord. I haven't listened to a full message in years, but I know my sister went to see her last week and was really...

    Missing Kenneth Hagin

    I miss Brother Hagin so much! I've been listening to a bunch of his messages on YouTube this past week and am being really blessed. I haven't been on this forum, so I was glad to log on and see your message this morning. I do believe in the "prosperity" message, but I agree that there is far...
