1 | No Joyce Meyer?????????????????? | Acts 17:11 | Shell | 27346 | ||
THANK YOU KALOS!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is exactly what I was trying to say----------IT IS UP TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO HE GIVES THE DIFFERENT GIFTS TOO. I was not very good at trying to get this point across to the preacher in South Caolina and therefore did not make my point to him. I left with him feeling that he was correct in what he was saying and that I was wrong. That's ok, I knew what I meant, just couldn't get it across. I get that way sometime and I wonder if that is God's way of shuting me up so as not to get in an argument???? I will not argue with anyone about my faith, religion or God. There are too many views, and most of the time, we all feel that our view is correct, and that is not always correct either. BUT THANK YOU, YOU SAID WHAT I WANTED TO AND COULDN'T. Shell | ||||||

Love Fountain,and there speaks the other side of the coin. And while I agree with Nolan and Kalos, I also agree with what you are saying too!!! Its just a big puzzle and we have to find out what pieces belong and what pieces do not. Get rid of the one that don't and utilize the ones that do. Thanks for a great answer. Shell | ||||||

Norrie, after reading all this info that is coming to me thru the bible study, I am almost in agreement with you. I may just have to stop watching any of them and let the Holy Spirit be my preacher, and the Bible of course. Thanks, Shell | ||||||

Hello Kalos, your answer gives me quite a lot to think about. In October, I attended a church in South Carolina with My sister, I asked the pastor a question about something he said in regard to healing and all of us, IF WE BELIEVE, should be able to raise the dead and heal the sick. My question was, "How is that possible unless it is the will of God that we are able to do this??" His answer was that the word says lay hands on the sick and they will recover, it does not say that only a few people are able to do this. I said that was a true stmt., however, I have always been taught that everything that is done has to be God's will or "it ain't happenin" He did not agree with that at all. After we left the church, my sister and talked about the pastor, she wanted to know what I thought of him,(she lives there and that is where she has been going to church) and I told her that I did not care for him and I did not agree with all his ideas. I told this pastor that I had great faith, and if that was the case, all Christians should go out and heal EVERYONE WHO WAS SICK AND RAISE ALL THE DEAD CHRISTIANS. He said yes, we should. I told him that I had never done this because God had never led me to do that. He then questioned my faith. I began to get a little angry then but did not say anything. On the ride home I asked my sister if she had every heard of Jessie DuPlanits and she said, yes, that is my pastors boss, why? I said as I was watching the pastor tonight, the way he acted or tried to act made me think of Jesse ( and I always get a laugh when I listen to him). The church and pastor in South Carolina seems to hung up on Lots of money, things, etc. I have rambeled on long enough, thanks for you input. Shell | ||||||

Greeting to you Nolan!! I have been watching Joyce every morning for quite awhile and so far she is just talking. Sometimes she will quote a verse and then talk about it. So far, I have not heard anything that I take exception to, or have not felt a check in my spirit. Maybe I have not heard one of her sermons that is un scripitual. So far, most of what I have heard is talking about her life and her kids and making funnies. But I will listen more closely and see if there is something there that I am missing. I really hate this, it seems that every time I find a pastor that makes things interesting, there is something wrong with them. I love listening to Jimmy Swaggart, but since his fall, my tv station does not carry him. What do you think about John Hagee?? I am in my Bible daily and the only pastor, teacher and leader that will tell me the whole truth is God's word and the Holy Spirit. I just pray that I interpert what the Holy Spirit tells me, I don't always know what he is saying to me!!! Ever have that problem? Thanks, Shell | ||||||

This is to Nolan and EdB----- Nolan, your answers are wonderful also and give me pause to rethink some things.---------------------EdB---I just wanted you to know that I count my Blessings daily and there are too many to count or remember or mention by name, Thank God that God knows them all. I am very Blessed, and sometimes we forget that in the daily life of trying to live up to what our potential is in God's eyes. I have been praying for something specific--------- Help me to keep my mouth shut (and God knows what I mean by this) and also to CHANGE ME INTO THE PERSON THAT HE WANTS ME TO BE AND NOT THE PERSON THAT I THINK THAT I WANT TO BE again (God knows what I mean by this!!!!!!!! Also, I have a bad habit of praying for others to be changed and I have finally realized that those types of prayers do not actually work because of free will, so that's why I am praying for God to change me and let others worry about changing themselves. And believe me, that one was a VERY HARD LESSON TO BE LEARNED. Can ya'all help me with these prayers and lets stand back and watch God preform something wonderfull in someone's life. Thanks, Shell | ||||||

To EdB: Thanks for your answer. Are you a pastor? You really have some good thoughts and I enjoyed being reminded that wealth is not always money. There is not ONE THING THAT I NEED, and I have almost everything I want. I am VERY BLESSED and thank GOD every day and night for EVERYTHING---------GOOD OR BAD. As I get older, I want less and less. Our views change as we get older and some of the things we used to want when we were younger, no longer matter. As we watch our parents getting older and going thru some awful stuff health wise, it makes one think. GOD HAS BEEN WONDERFUL TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I would still like to have unlimited wealth, money wise, so I could help my children more and my grandkids and others in need. I have friends that are not as fortunate as I that I would go out and buy homes, cars,etc. for and then go on my merry way. It is a wonderful dream, but so far it has not happened. As the time of the end grows closer, I would probably be better not to think about money, just helping others to get saved and telling as many people as we can about Jesus. Stay in touch, I like your answers. Shell | ||||||
11 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | Shell | 25185 | ||
To prayon, this is from Shell, I pray constantly, about all things. The verse that keeps going thru my head is : Paraphrased: we ask with the wrong motives. This, I think is in line with a lot of the answers I received tonight. Sometimes, I have trouble with my motives. Anyway, thank you for your response. Shell | ||||||
12 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | Shell | 25182 | ||
To EdB, thank you for your answer. I don't know if I have disernment about things or not, but I did like your answer. In fact I liked every answer I received. There are times that I have a "check" in my heart, spirit, or mind, about things, and if this if disernment, then that is great. If this name it and claim is is not scriptual, why do some many have so much and others don't? I believe that my faith is strong, in fact I know it is, but when I pray, I know if it is God's will, it will happen, if it doesn't, I say, It was not God's will and try to go on to something else. Some tell me that is wrong others agree with me about God's will. Sometimes I get really confused and don't know what to think. I take the Bible LITERALY (mispelled), but there may be some things I am not understanding quite right. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Shell | ||||||
