Prophecy is to convince unbelievers, Im not a prophet but I have prophcied three times and within a 14 day period each came to pass. One was a prophecy of my own death.Its easier to convince an unbeliever that the Bible is true when they can see something, Just like Thomas, who had to see Jesus alive before he believed. As far as how aggressive , its simple in turn and in order as Paul instructed. DL5 | ||||||

Dairyleader5 - Am I misreading your post or are things becoming a little spooky as Halloween draws nearer? You posted that you had prophesied three times and that within 14 days each prophecy came to pass; and that one was a prophecy of your own death. Tell us about that one! --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, no its not halloween, in 1999, I was preaching a service up North, hafe way thru the serman, I heard a voice behind me saying,"Son tell them you are going to die and someone has to carry on" I turn around and no one was there, I continued to preach and it came again, same message and he added in two weeks,I asked did Jesus come in the flesh, He said yes. In frount of the congregation,I stopped preaching and told them , in two weeks Ill be dead, some one pick up the cross and continue on. Exactly two weeks later, I was at work and died of a massave corinary, I was pronounced dead at the emergency room. As I had instructed my wife to do, she laid hands on me and was raised, they immediatly flew me to a caradac spectially unit and Im still alive. Not only did this happen once but 1 year later It happened again, in frount of a different church and, Im alive still. Proof, I have 47 wittnesses and 675 pages fron the hospitol and my heart ekg, flatlined for 27 minutes. Jesus is Good. DL5 | ||||||

DAIRYLEADER5 I see two things wrong here first you were told you were going to be dead and your not. Second if Jesus takes me home I'll kill the first person that prays me back. Man this is not my home I want to be where Jesus is, for me to live is Christ but my desire is to be in Heaven. EdB |

EdB, there are a couple of things in scripture I wish to remind all of, The rich man asked Abraham to send lazzerus back to warn his brothers and Abraham said, EVEN THOU ONE BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD THEY WILL STILL NOT BELIEVE,, the Other when Jesus raised Lazerus from the dead, Lazerus didnt ask to be raised, did he?,no, Jesus wanted to prove a point, that he was the life the reserection, last I didnt want to return, I was told by the Spirit, it wasnt my time. In Jesus DL5 | ||||||

DL5 The Luke 16 parable of the rich man and Lazarus in context was talking about the warning the brothers of sinful living. It was said, "they didn't believe Moses nor the prophets nor would the believe even a man risen from the dead." The issue isn't over would they believe the dead was raised it is over if they would heed a warning against rejecting Jesus. I'm not doing that. I'm questioning your story. First the you were told you were going to die, and to prepare someone to replace you. That seems extremely cruel to tell someone that there going to die when the intent was to only to stricken you and then raise you up. In any case you didn't die and therefore didn't need to be replaced because of death. Which makes the first prophecy inaccurate. Secondly you say your wife prayed according to your directions and you were raised up. I don't question that. I question why you being a child of God and understanding this is not your home, would instruct someone to pray for you to raise you up if you knew your work here on earth was finished and you were going home. It seems to me that there is something wrong here. EdB |

EdB, Members of the forum,Paul said that is was far,far better to be absent from theflesh and to be present with Christ, but it is more needful for me to remane, How is it that when Christians ask for a mirical, and recieve one thaey dont believe., Ive stated the exact facts. Jesus, the deciples and Paul ,all raised people from the dead, Lazerus was in the grave for 3 days, if Im not mistaken, does that mean that he wasnt dead, and the little girl, that had just died, does that mean when Jesus took hold of her hand that she wasnt dead or there was something wrong.. I and other ministers dont know when our work is finished, as far as Im concerned preachers dont retire. Jesus was trying to prove to the church ,Hes the one in controll. Ive heard reports of funeral processions being stopped and the dead raised from the caskets. How long does a person hafe to be dead before people will believe that they can be raised. Its good to ask questions, but sometime we hafe to go on faith and what the Bible tells uss we can do.One of the three heart sergons, from Johns Hopkins University ,also pronounced me dead.,What can I say?. There are those in the forum that dont believe in the gifts of the spirit, as for one ,Im liveing proofe. In Christ, DL5. | ||||||

DAIRYLEADER5 I never said what you said never happened nor did I deny any miracle. I stated two problems with what you said. First you were told you were going to die and to prepare someone to replace you. However you didn't need replacedm, therefore something is wrong with that prophecy. Secondly if I was told I was going to die and I since I know my place in Christ Jesus I would have said my goodbyes and told everyone I would see them in heaven. I would never ask anyone to pray me back. To me that seems to be a conflict. Those two things bother me about your story, since you haven't been able to explain either I then must question the rest of the story. Things just don't add up. That is all I'm saying. EdB |

EdB, For five mths. I was in rehab, learning to walk, and feed myself and learning to use my right arm again, the asst. pastor in that time told the congregation, that he was moveing to a nother church, because he didnt believe that I would return, the church, closed. So no one took my place., second, my family all know that we are in Gods hands, I felt it was between me and God.I have no Idea what you may be asking for. This is the way I am, If I live or die I belong to God, I dont wory about death.Most of the time Jesus was ridiculed when He said that, He was the resurection,.Ive lost, 1 third of my right arm, I have been thru two angeoplastics,Ive lost part of my hearing,part of my eye sight and today, my doctor told me I have diabeties,But you know, I dont care or do I let it stop me from preaching, The Bible says, many are the afflications of the rightious, I use these things to bring hope to those who have no hope and confort to the drowtroden. All things work to the good to those who love his appearing.I pray to God that you be blessed in looking for the truth. DL5 | ||||||

dairyleader5 The testimony you have just given today is far greater than anything you have said up to this point. To still trust and have faith in God, while in the situation you in, speaks more of His grace and mercy than anything else you have said. What you have written today is a testimony my friend!!!! I praise God you shared it with us and I pray for you total and complete recovery. May God's richest and most tender blessings be poured out on you and your family. EdB |
