1 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | Norrie | 14660 | ||
Kimberly, I understand what you're getting at. I studied that for 18 yrs too. But don't get too caught up in waiting for a harvest. Expect it but don't act like it's the main objective. I guess that's where the faith ministers lose it. What you're saying is true, but then people start focusing on the harvest instead of Jesus, you know what I'm trying to say? Stay focused on Him. :) | ||||||
2 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | HeirofGod | 14732 | ||
That is the focus Norrie. The focus is to be able to keep building the Kingdom of God naturally(with souls) and financially with tithes and offerings. Don't get me wrong, I Love God not because he continues to give me a harvest but because he saved me from a lustful and religious spirit. He changed me forever. Not only do I not want to go back, I've tried and I can't. He's holding on to me and he's not going to let me go. Niether will I let him go. I trust his word not because some guy on TV says try it, I tried it because it had worked for other people in my church. Giving to ministries who are bearing fruit makes me happy. Getting a harvest makes me happy. Being saved makes me estatic! I don't think that all TV ministries have lost the focus. I think they know the importance of having the funds to do what needs to be done. Right now my church is very small, but the power of God is moving so immenantly.We know that souls are going to come in, because he spoke it himself. When they do we are going to need a bigger church (It's really small now). That's going to take money. We have been planting seeds in all types of good ministries from all over the states, some we fellowship with. When the time comes where we need a new church God will honor our seed and will provide. We have to stay focused on Jesus because he gives the increase. That's what seed time and harvest is all about. God honoring your obediance and blessing you. I think that's great. It shows that God knows you are being faithful. Thank you for seeing my point. Kimberly |

3 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | EdB | 14746 | ||
Kimberly Much of what you said is right on, however YOU (not me)have to question your motives. Are you giving to honor God and bless the other ministries or are you giving to get back? In other words would you be so willing to give if you knew you would get nothing in return. If the answer is NO then your giving for the wrong reason! If you give for the wrong reason God has no responsibility to honor your giving. This principal is taught in Luke 14:12-14 "Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. [13] But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. [14] And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just." |
