• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How come all of Jesus's deliverances were very quick? What was his secret?

Because his first coming was to Israel and the signs he will do for the nation were prophesied before in Isaiah 35:5-6 and Isaiah 61:1-2

Faith.

This is exemplified by the reaction by his hometown.

You can have faith, but without the trust of the person receiving, it's pointless.

Whosoever calls on the name of the lord shall be delivered. Joel 2:32

So who is doing delivering? Whos word are we speaking? So if God said it does it not have to do what He said and not return to Him void? Short part of a true story once the demon knew that man knew the authority he had it left. The sweet sweet holy Spirit leads in this area not us. Why in so many other areas nothing happens. Working our faith are we? Again as I always say you don't read about "faith" "working or exercising your faith".

See if that knife is sharp it always cuts fast and easy. One could whisper "in Jesus name" and it has to leave. HAHA it has no choice unless it knows you do not truly know believe what your saying. Anyway..
