What do you want to know ... can do it privately or here ... ?
1. word of faith is fundamental ... what book says is what it means literally
out of the mouth of 2-3 witnesses :
Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of
two or three witnesses every word may be established.
2Cr 13:1 This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of
two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
1Ti 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before
two or three witnesses.
Hbr 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under
two or three witnesses:
Here are the 2 remaining inexact matches:
Deu 17:6 At the mouth of
two witnesses,
or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Deu 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,
or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of
two witnesses,
or at the mouth of
three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
2. Isaiah 53.3 , Matthew 8.17 , 1 Peter 2-14 ( 3 witnesses , same thought = doctrine or principle ) " by His stripes you were healed , past tense , so if you were healed by the work of the cross , you are healed by receiving the work Jesus did , by your confession of faith ( Mark 11.23-4 speak to this mountain , be removed ; 1 John 5.14-18 speak and believe , will have what you say ) ... as your prayers are answered , so your faith in bigger things will grow , as God confirms His word ( Mark 16.20 ; Isaiah
55.10 ).
3. WOF take Mark 16.16.20 literally , that the laying on of hands , contact , the prayer of faith can and will make a difference ( kinda like Gallager and the sledge o matic .... it is just that easy with ".... " )
4. some WOF meetings are like a typical Methodist , Baptist , Assemblies of God ,
Four Square Gospel , service : a homily , the Word explained line by line and precept upon precept :
Isa 28:10 For
precept [must be] upon
precept,
precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them
precept upon
precept,
precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
5. some WOF meetings are entirely praise and worship .... some thing in your shoes besides your feet , the Glory of the Lord within the building , people laughing , crying , falling ..... prostrating themselves upon the floor , speaking in tongues , and others giving an interpretation ...
6. go like the publican , sit in the back , with an open mind , and listen to what is said
a. is there a peace in your heart ? Only God can bring peace
b. do the people make an effor to make you welcome .... go again
c. do the people offer to pray , assist , help .... take them up on offer
d. is it a bit wild and unfamiliar .... we all have a comfort zone
7. there are usually places for children to be ministered to separately , same word
a little different presentation , as per age and " wiggle factor " ... how long they
can sit still and focus
a. infant care
b. toddlers
c. preschool
d. grade school
e. junior hight
f. high school
8. WOF is not for everyone .... but if you can pick up some thing , and take it with
you to your home church or parents church or day to day life .... could you not
be used as a match to set aflame some dead wood ?
a. that when you pray , God hears and answers you - Psalm 118.5
b. that you can speak to colds , flu , bad dreams to go and not return
c. that you can over come bad thoughts and temptations
d. that you can pray for your family , children , loved ones
e. that you are a child of God , who can do what you have been called to do
f. that all God's babies , have a purpose , are special , worth raising up
I have faith in the healing aspects of Jesus Christ, not in one particular Christian sect or another.
