Hank Why would my post strike you a bit odd? I'm the one who finds it a bit odd that you are responding to me! Don't you think that tomm is capable of speaking for himself? What kind of background do I need? It's quite clear to see that some of "these forum users" are one sided (they're side). Jesus had no problems with sinner's, only with the Pharisees and religious leaders, they tested Jesus to the point of death. What tomm does is up to him, I believe if a person says something they should be ready back up their belief, or they shouldn't say anything at all. Everything I have posted I back up, but do you ever see me running to others to back me up? Even if they're wasn't anyone who believed as I do, I don't need no pat on the back and I'm not going to cry on someone shoulder. I'm not trying to be some hard head here but what makes "these others" believe that they are so correct, or have the "authority" to be right ALL the time? Yes, for once you have said a mouth full, we should take stock of what we say on this forum, because people need to hear the truth, God is well able to move on His people request and respond for healing, deliverance, break throughs and whatever situation they maybe in, without sending them to get their answer from the world's resource's. It's time that we "stand" up and begin to see the Hand of God move. God didn't call me out of the world to fight amoung my brother's, I did that in the world. We should be an extension of God's hand, reaching out to a dying world, snatching back from the enemy's camp God's people who are held prisoners there, comforting the wounded as they return, instead of shooting them. "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." 1Cor.2:4-5 God bless |

I do not know who you replied to. My post to you was that "you stand on what you believe"(His Word). We are study the Word (2Tim.2:15) even your Pastor is human, and without deliberate attempt to mislead you, they too can make mistakes. We are responsible for our own (working out) salvation (Phillipians 2:12). Do not be swayed by individuals who only believe in their theology! Stand on the Power of God's Word, which is making YOU free. As your Pastor teaches and as you study, come under the Authority that your Pastor has to correct You. If you don't, you will be aplogizing all the time, and these individuals will have no mercy on you. They sound good, but so did the Pharisees. I'm not saying everyone on this forum is misleading, just read 2Timothy 3:5. God bless you as you study and STAND on God's word. Remember tomm, God REALLY Loves you. |

Continued from previous post It's important to know that we must not be intangled again into the web of what God has delivered us from. Paul tell God's people to, "Stand fast, therefore in the "liberty" wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1 Some of the manifestations of "the spirit of bondage" are: addictions of any kind, such as to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, food, television, video games, pornography and unnatural sex acts. The other extreme of addiction to food is anorexia nervosa; self-induced starvation. Rock music has an addictive quality which is destructive in addiction to the unwholesome message it usually spot-lights. In short, as the name implies, anything which binds us so that we become involuntary slaves fall under the category of a "spirit of bondage." Alcoholism is probably the most prominent and popular addiction in our world today. It is classified as a disease by some medical authorities, by God's Word does not support that diagnosis. Paul informs us in 1Corinthians 6:10 that drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The only reason God permits anyone to go the Hell is because of their sin. So apparently God considers drunkenness to be a SIN, not a disease. Just reading the statistics of how alcohol destroyes lives should convince any Christian that alcohol must be shunned as if it were a coiled rattlesnake. In fact, that is Solomon's advice in Proverbs 23:31,32. For those who rest their case on Paul's admonition to Timothy that he "..use a little wine for thy stomach's sake.. 1 Timothy 5:23 I would respectfully draw their attention to Paul's command in 1Corinthians 5:11 to not even keep company or eat with a Christian who drinks to excess. And observe the list that Paul lumps them together with in verse 11; fornicators, coveteous, idolaters, railers and extortioners. As to example of in scripture, refer to Romans 8:15 and 2Peter 2:19. So what do we bind and what do we loose? BIND: SPIRIT OF BONDAGE. LOOSE: LIBERTY AND SPIRIT OF ADOPTION. God bless you on this day |

Scribe, Matthew 18:18, is dealing with a person who has sinned against another, However what are we dealing with here? A person who has been influenced by an evil spirit. One vulnerable area that we can start with is what I refer to as "open doors" in our life. "Neither give place to the devil" is how Paul puts it in Ephesians 4:27, or as the Amplified Bible says, "Leave no room or foothold for the devil...give no opportunity to him." When we allow openings in our spiritual life the devil feels he has the right to take advantage of us in those specific territories. The Bible introduces us to doors in Genesis 4:7 when the Lord said to Cain, "If thow doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door." God told Cain that Satan was crouched at his doorway, waiting to leap into his life. Cain had the choice and because he chose to open the door to jealousy, Satan led him into the murder of his brother, Abel. Sin is progressive. One thing leads to another until we find ourselves in big trouble. For that reason we must learn to close those doors before they develop into something harmful. I do NOT believe that Christians can be demon possessed. But they certainly can be attacked in their mind, will, emotions and body. They can be troubled, pressed, buffeted, harassed, depressed, obsessed, oppressed in bondage and brusied. In "alcohol" we are dealing with the "spirit of bondage." This strongman usually works very closely with the spirit of fear. "For we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." Romans 8:15. (continued) |

Scribe Yes, I give God all the Honor and Glory through OUR Lord and Savior Jesus, for His prompting and inspired Revelation Knowledge of His Living Word. There is so much in God's Word, it's amazing how some of God's Saints can't recognize what is being said! I close with this one thought of principle. Matthew 8:5-13, the Centurion reconized Authority. He was under authority, and by what he "said" or by his "words"(or commands) his soldiers obeyed. He "knew" Jesus had spiritual Authority over sickness, after what the Centurion says in v.9, this is what Jesus says in v.10, 'When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him,"I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith." This is the pattern of "Great Faith", especially in the areas of HEALING and other Spiritual operations - that is, a recognition, understanding, and belief in Spiritual Authority and its operation. The Centurion was vested with authority from his superior. When one receives a commission from his superior and the authority needed to carry out the task, he is said to be authorized to speak and act "in the name" of the one who has given the authority. I believe that we have received a "commission" from OUR Superior and authorized to "speak" and act "In The Name of Jesus". HE HAS GIVEN US THE AUTHORITY, over the enemy (sicknesses and dieases). Praise His Mighty Name. Thank You Father! Gods blessing and His Anointing to you, Scribe. In the future if you need some material on healing email me from my personal profile. |

EdB If you don't want to experience The Blessings, The Miracles and The Power, well that's on you and everyone else that agrees with you. In all this I believe,that OUR names are written in the Book of Life, Amen. However, I can't bring myself to believe that OUR Lord and Savior died in vain. When the Word of God says "by His stripes we were healed", who is that speaking of? The world wants us to believe that when we get a headache we are supposed to run down to the drug store and get a bottle of asprin, or if we get cancer or other diseases we are to run to the doctor and believe their report? Then we make up some testimony about Aunt Mary dying of cancer because God called her home, or Uncle Bob is in a hospital bed because of a diease because it's God's will. Praise God, some people believe that, I'm just not one of those people. God is not a respector of people, what He has done for you, He'll do for others, right? Matthew 13:53-57 speaks of a Prophet without Honor, verse 58 says "And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. Well EdB, thank you for responding and remember one last point, you are not my enemy, the devil is. I leave you with John 15:7. Answered prayer is a privilege of close abiding; we find our prayers in tune with Jesus' will. The purpose of fruit-bearing is to bring glory to God, not man. Gods Blessings |

Tim Do you know what saddens me? Is when I respond to a post and there's ALWAY'S this group of four or five individuals who want to twist the LIVING WORD OF GOD! Time and time again it happens. You say for the benefit of all of us on the forum? I'm starting to believe that these individuals own this forum. However, Like I mentioned in one of my post, is that I'm truly sorry that they don't know any better. Didn't Jesus turn and say to Peter "get thee behind me Satan." Didn't Jesus love Peter? I wasn't being hateful, I was being truthful. I don't put no limits on OUR God. I believe that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. And that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. I give no glory to God when my body is sick or diseased. I stand firm on God's word because He has healed me, Praise God!!! Whatever happened to the "signs and wonders" following? Or "you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover?" Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. We serve an Awesome God, who is still in the business of Healing. Proverbs 11:25 |

One more time What makes your doctrine a doctrine of demons - is the fact that it removes the blame from Satan and removes the blame from us - and places it squarely on God! Which is a lie! And then your doctrine twists scripture to support that lie. God is a GOOD God! And ONLY good - all the time! He is now and He always has been. And if ANYBODY tells me different - they are perpetuating a lie of the devil! I don't care HOW 'pretty' or 'religious' you make it sound or how you weave it into other teachings. Now, DON'T write me any nasty, venomous letters citing how many degrees you have, how many letters you have after you name and how many years you have been "in the way." And I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry - that after all the time, expense and expended energy that you still don't know any better! And yes, I know that I have just messed up some of your best sermons - but it's time that this doctrine was shown up for what it really is! A destructive lie! Suffering Doctrine! A little strong you say? A little sharp you say? Jesus called the religious leaders of his day - "vipers," "snakes in the grass," "sowers of stumbling blocks," "hypocrites," "fancy graves full of rotten bones." Why? Because THEY should have known better! Now you have been informed, reformer! |

Othra vez!!! In verse 23, Paul's medical advice to Timothy a. Water in the ancient world was often unreliable in regard to purity, Paul's advice is reliable to Timothy as it is to any traveling person. b. Timothy was the victim of 'frequent infirmities'; yet Paul did not simply command a healing on apostolic authority, or even send him a handkerchief with healing power (Acts 19:11-12). c. Paul did not have miraculous powers at his beck and call, but only at the prompting of the Holy Spirit - and apparently, there was no such prompting in Timothy's case d. If it is God's will for all to be healed 'right now', then Paul (and the Holy Spirit who inspired him) lead Timothy into sin - calling him to look to a natural remedy instead of a divine healing. SICK NIGH UNTO DEATH. "For indeed he was sick nigh unto death..." (Philippians 2:27). Paul here refers to a Christian named Epaphroditus. Some "scholars" of the Bible read verses 25-27 and then teach "See, see! Paul left somebody sick. He failed to heal somebody." The implication is that it is not God's will to heal everyone, and therefore if you pray for healing, do not be too expectant since it may not be God's will to heal you. Just because someone was sick does not mean YOU have to be. Epaphroditus was not the "Word made flesh." If those "scholars" had read just a few verses down, they would have seen the reason for Epaphroditus sickness: Verse 30 says, "Because of the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me." Epaphroditus overworked! See those words "not regarding his life"? Epaphroditus made a choice to continue to work when he should have stopped. There were not many people helping Paul at this time so Epaphroditus pushed himself to "supply your lack of service" (or "take up the slack," make up the difference"). Epaphroditus pushed himself too far - that is all is to it. If he had rested and then got back to work, he would have stayed well. He did not even have to overwork - he made that decision himself. Now don't go and over work yourself :) God bless |

Hello Scribe, I recently posted "thorn in the flesh", scroll down to where I responded to mbooker. I will post about Paul's injuries. PAUL'S INJURIES. "Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned.." (2Corinthians 11:24-25). It would be enlightening to study all of 2 Corinthians 11:23-28, but I will only point out three types of physical attacks that Paul suffered, and after which Paul was still able to travel and preach the gospel. 1. "Once was I stoned" - Paul was stoned and killed in Acts 14. Then God raised him from the dead. Praise God. 2. "Five times received I forty stripes save one" - In those days, the Romans used a leather whip with three extensions. the end of each extension had three barbs of claw-like nail. This whip has the nickname "cat of nine tail" for this reason. A Roman soldier would take the clothes off of the offender and whip his back so that the claws sunk into the back. Then, the solider would pull the whip so that the claws would pull the skin off from the victim's back. The soldier would do this 39 times. This is the same procedure that Jesus went through, and the Bible says, "by HIS stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24). By going through this, Jesus took away our sickness. The amazing fact here Scribe is that Paul went through this ordeal 5 times. This means 5x39 equals 195 stripes. And remember there are nine nails at the end of the whip - so it it actually 195x9 equals 1755 stripes. For 1755 times, nails punctured Paul's back and ripped it from top to bottom. As you can imagine, many people died before the 39 stripes were completed. Those who survived may have never recovered from such an experience. But Paul was still able to travel and preach! Was Paul a sickly man? No, God power made him a superman. Praise God. 3. "Thrice was I beaten with rods" - No, they did not tap Paul's behind lightly with soft plastic rods, nor did they slap his hands with plastic rulers. The way the beat people with rods in those days was to make the person lay on his stomach, pick up his legs and beat his feet with iron rods until they knew all the bones are shattered. Most would be maimed for life. Paul went through this three times and was still walking around! Praise God. This why Paul could "glory in his infirmity" when talking about the power of God. Paul survived and overcame his suffering by the supernatural power of God. Nowdays, whether people have the slightest bit of discomfort of something like terminal cancer, they would think that they are suffering for Jesus and that they are just like the apostle Paul. No, these are suffering for themselves and they are no where near like the apostle Paul. I am not trying to be hard on these people,but I want them to know that much of their suffering is pointless and should be (and can be) stopped. If they enjoy suffering so much, they should suffer for preaching the gospel. It is certainly immoral to twist the Scriptures to excuse their lack of initiative in overcoming the suffering. I have some more on sicknss (Paul left somebody sick) let me know and I'll post it. God's blessings |
