1 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | EdB | 10526 | ||
Absolutely Steve this is one of the most abused areas of the Bible. Man has taken something God meant for worship and service and turned it into a parlor show. I think many will have much to explain because of this. In my years I have seen the gifts abused and misused in just about every way I can imagine. Flesh has been allowed to run rampant. At some of these big name revivals there is more flesh than anything else. I know one revival that is filled with the Spirit of Carnality and I can’t believe God or the Holy Spirit are even present, yet there are these supposedly wondrous manifestations of the Holy Spirit. I have a word for that, “Baloney”! Before anyone asks no I won’t name the revival. Ask God he will show you. | ||||||

Steve, I think I should just shut up because EdB puts it so much more succinctly than i can. I agree. i have seen the misuse of it, too. The only thing I don't know if I agree totally is the idea you should have some idea of what you are praying about. there have been a few (very few)times when I have felt the Holy Spirit telling me to pray and it is kind of an "OK, Here we go -don't have a clue but some situation must be needing prayer coverage." Now, I am talking about privately, while at work and not shouting it out at the top of my lungs. Ever had this happen, EdB? | ||||||

Absolutely the Holy Spirit puts a burden on you and you have no idea in the world what it is other than you need to pray right now. However a few times later I have had family, friends, or someone tell me about a serious situation they found themselves and how God miraculously delivered them, which occurred at exactly the moment I was impressed to pray. | ||||||
