I don't normally like to talk about this but I was depressed for many years. I was even admitted to a state psych hospital for a period of time. One day near the end of my stay, a therapist came to me and pulled me off to the side. She said that because this was a state-sponsored hospital that...
In the 1970's I was in your 'camp' and I read a book. I can't remember the name of the book or the author but the Holy Spirit brought back to my remembrance the gist of it. The author was attempting to disprove the 'gifts'. He made a statement that if a Christian wanted one more of the 'gifts'...
I'm asking you and Dave. Please give me some direction. All this talk makes me wonder if when I spoke to my depression and told it to go and it left; was it God or the devil behind my healing, because there are some who say that couldn't happen today because the Apostles are dead now.
Ok, what about the New Covenant. Anything in there besides Gifts that need to be addressed? I can think of one. In Mark after Jesus cursed the fig tree and He told His disciples about telling a mountain to be picked up and tossed into the ocean. He was talking to His disciples so that means it's...
I believe the Bible is the inspired, God-breathed Word of God. I believe it from Genisis to maps. But if I have been wrong about some things, I need to know.
Dave, Dave, Dave, I've read that stuff already.
Like I stated earlier, God doesn't love you any less if you don't and doesn't love you any more if you do. At this point, we just need to agree to disagree. Have a great day and a wonderful Easter.
I know this from experience. Believe it or not, I really do understand where you're coming from. If we were having this discussion prior to 2011, I would be on your side telling the others that they don't know what they're talking about. Our spirits have been re-born. We are still waiting for...
Because there are more than you know that enter into their prayer closets and pray in the Spirit. We are spiritual beings, Dave. So to keep the flesh out of the way, we pray in the Spirit. The mind becomes unfruitful (it doesn't understand what is being prayed). After finishing, ask for the...
Dave, we can say the same thing to you. I believed the same as you up until 2011 and then the Lord revealed things to me from His Word. What you are believing comes not from His Word but from men. I guarantee you that satan does not want you to believe these things. You are missing out on so...
Going to a restaurant, I am always aware that I arrived safely, that God has provided the money to pay for the meal, and provided the actual food that I'm about to eat. It would be impolite to say nothing. When the food arrives I just say"Thank You Lord" in a normal conversational level. I...
