1 | 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. |

2 | We need to encourage each other. | Matt 16:6 | Whiteeagle1a | 90836 | ||
Where is the focus? I am very concerned over all the negativity in this forum. There is alot of attacking on and another, which by the way is just what Satan wants, I believe that the Word of God is TRUTH from Genesis to Revelatoin. I would like to encourage everyone to look at ways to lift up and edify each other. That does not mean ther can't be open discussions about what the word says, that is one of the ways we learn, but not attacking each other because of what or how they believe. In Acts 14: 22 "strengthening the disciples and ecourageing them to remain true the faith." "We must go through many hardships to enter the kindom of God." Jesus went through a great harship for us on the cross. Paul in a letter to Timothy wrote (2Timothy 1:3) "I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers." In 1 Thess 5: 12-16 "Now we ask you, brother, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everone else. Be joyful always pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." In Jesus Name |

3 | We need to encourage each other. | Matt 16:6 | Elijah_Jones | 90887 | ||
Yes.. often I am reminded that one of the biggest ways Satan does his work is through the old "divide and conquer" methodology. Contrast that to the times in Scripture where the believers were all in prayer and one accord, and see what happened next! God Bless and thanks for this post! |
