1 | Knocked out by holy spirit | Matt 16:6 | gracefull | 90460 | ||
Pastor, Sometimes their mockery startles me also. I often sense the Holy Spirit is grieved...but many on the forum are not Holy Spirit baptized and have not moved into that rhelm..they simply can't see..but I tend to agree, the mocking of others just because they do not understand is a foolish thing to do. Often when I read posts like these, I think of the Pharasees when they accused Jesus of being demon possessed... Let's pray. God bless |

2 | Knocked out by holy spirit | Matt 16:6 | PastorFloyd | 90481 | ||
I too believe the Holy Spirit is grieved by what His followers are doing to one another. God gave each of us a will and we can believe what we want to. I find it hard to imagine why anyone would want to be sick when God gave us provisions to be well. But, again, that is their right and I will not impose my beliefs on them if they do not want them. If they ask why I base my faith on being well I will tell them. It is their right to believe my obeservations, based on what the Bible teachs us, or not. By the same token it my right, to believe the whole Bible, not just the parts I want to take out. I believe this: "Don't knock what you haven't experienced yourself." Scripture says: "Ask and you shall receive." An ex-cop, turned minister, once told me this: He said" "if you hear a judge impose a sentence on a person and he uses the word WILL: Such as, you will serve 25 to life. That person, most likely will serve a few years and then has the opportunity to get out on parole. BUT if that same judge uses the words: You SHALL serve 25 years to life, then that person shall serve at least 25 years before coming up for parole. By the same token if God says we don't have to be sick or poor, then we have the chance, based upon our faith to be just the opposite. It is our will that He takes into consideration and I agree that and I believe the Holy Spirit is grieved by our actions and our words. Right now there is a controversary going on at this forum that being "slain in the spirit" is not scriptural. They are right, it is not. There is no reference point in God's Word to base it on, but that doesn't necessarily mean God can't do it. Again: If you haven't experienced it don't knock it. I find to my amazement that people would rather be sick and have crippling diseases, rather than to believe the Word of God. They want to save face once they make a statement and go on with what the enemy gives them. I shall pray for you my brother, that God shall continue to work through you to give sage advice. |

3 | WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION? | Matt 16:6 | RJJ | 90497 | ||
Sir, You state that you base your faith on being well, do you lose your faith when sickness comes? Or have you found the cure for the common cold, or are you one who states all people crippled, deseased ect.that they are in this condition because of their lack of faith? Sir you say that you will explain yourself if asked well I am asking, indeed I demand, as one who knows the healing power of the Holy Spirit and still sitting here in my wheel chair, SAVED LOVED, BLESSED AND BOUND FOR AN ETERNITY WITH MY LORD, that you explain or retract your statement. RJJ. |

I am not saying that people lack faith. I am saying that faith comes from hearing the Word of God. Jesus said that if you believe that God shall give you what you asked for. The key word is believe. I once heard a dear saint say that her mother had a lot faith and that she took that faith to her deathbead with her. I say that she is to do what the Bible ays and release that faith, allowing God to heal her body. I have talked to literally hundreds of people and they have all agreed that God did not heal them until they released their faith and you cannot get faith to be healed by litening to a faith tape once or twice. Sir, how long have you been in that wheelchair? How long have you meditated on the Word of God concerning HIS healing scriptures for your getting out of that chair. How long sir have you seen yourself getting out of that chair and doing what Jesus said for us to do? God told us to be healthy. DO IT! Don't ask me to heal you. Don't ask Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland or numerous other faith healers to heal you. Ask God! He is the author and finisher of our faith. I will not retract my statement about healing sir. I believe that God wants me to be healed and when sickness comes upon me I do not believe what the devil is saying. When you go to buy cold medicine do you read what it says on the bottle? It says, this relieves the SYMPTOMS of a cold. You do not have a cold unless you agree with the devil and say it with your mouth. You have the symptoms of a cold. The Bible says ask and you shall receive. If you ask for a cold, there is someone who wil give it to you. If you accept what the devil gives you, there is a law in this world that says you are to receive what you asked for. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE SIR? |

Pastor Floyd, May we quote you to yourself when you are lying in your casket? After all, death is only a symptom according to your theory. May we assume that you will reject it and choose to be healthy in your present body for all eternity or will your "faith" fail you and will you just die like the rest of us? We are all sick and dying physically, just some of us are dying slower than others. And some of us seem to be in denial. Emmaus |

Tell you what: If your living when I die, you can say I TOLD YOU SO! God said; I'll give you what you want. Why should I die before I want to go? Ever read the 91 Psalm? The last verse says I will give you a long life. How long do you want to live? He says in the early part of the books of the Bible that; "I will not strive with man forever, I'll give him 120 years to amend his ways." I believe its the 94 Psalm that says you can have 70 years and more if by reason of strength. If your sick unto death how can you have reason of strength? |

Pastor Floyd, I think you are confusing faith with the arrogance or good genes or good health that may or may not last as long as you think. Allow me to paraphrase a parable. There were two men who went up to the Temple to pray. The first, a robustly healthy man approached the altar and with hands held high said: "I thank you God that I understand how to release the power of my faith and am therefore healthy and strong, unlike the multitude of weaklings in this world like that other man back there. I work out daily and think positive thoughts and would not dream of asking for a common cold. And I give advice to weak on how to become strong and healthy like me whenever I can." The other man, crippled with disease and injuries and bent over in his wheelchair, stayed back and prayed thus: "God, be merciful to me a sinner." I tell you this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted. Emmaus |

I like your paraphrase. I have never heard it explained quite that way. We will find out on the day of judgement when Jesus answers all questions. Right? By the way how do i access a note that I or someone wrote prior to this one? |
