I agree. There are many reasons why a person cannot receive healing and only God and he knows them. | ||||||

I can say one thing and you another and both of us can interprete it to mean different things. I stand on scripture as much as anyone, but I also base my observations of personal experiences and I ask no one to believe them. I cannot back some of them by scriptures but I have spent considerable amounts of time with God and I believe I know the voice of God. If I'm wrong that is between me and God and he will correct me. I believe I have a rapport with God to the extent that I can understand His admonishements and His praises. Either, I can live with. If I make some profound statements then He will correct me on them and I will have to answer for every word out of my mouth. Whether it comes from my tongue or my fingertips. I say this in love and compassion and I apologize if I have hurt anyone's faith. | ||||||

There is no such thing as being knocked out by the Holy Spirit. No scriptural reference. Nothing NADA. You are overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit entering your spirit. That is the closest that anyone can come to describing what the experience is. Benny Hinn describes it in this way, while you are on the floor in a spirit of calm, God can minister to you better. This is not the only way, but it is one way that he does so. |

I'm not saying that all saints that got sick and died were not in faith. What I am saying is that we can be sick or we can be well. What gets me is that people are saying that Jesus took a beating and shed His Blood for nothing. He died on the cross for us and our salvation but He also shed His innocent blood for us and our healing. God knew this was going to happen but He made provision for sickness and infirmities by the shed blood of HIs Son Jesus. Now, if you or anyone else don't want to believe that you can be made well by that blood then that is your right. But if a new Christian comes on this forum and asks if itt is alright for us to be healed and someone says that went out with the death of the disciples then sir, that is wrong. I believe that Jesus shed His Blood for MY healing. You don't want it? Don't ask for it. God said, "Let us make man in our image." Do you see God in sickness? Do you see Him in a wheelchair? Do you see Him dying by inches with a debilitating disease? Read some of the writings of E.G. Lake; Smith Wigglesworth; Kenneth Hagin; Kenneth Copeland; Dr. Thomas E. Slayton and his wife Gail. If they could believe for healings then I can believe for healings. God said, He is no respector of persons. If they received it, if they lay hands on people and they get healed in the Name of Jesus, then I have that right and privilege also. If you don't want it, don't believe it. How many scripture verses do you need to make you believe that God wants us healed? Ten? Twenty? a hundred? Do a Bible search of the scriptures based on healings, I did. I found 22 pages of scriptures telling me that God wants me well and prosperous. I don't have to have a house fall on me to know that it is dangerous to be under one without a foundation. |

67 | WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION? | Matt 16:6 | PastorFloyd | 90632 | ||
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? |

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. |

No, my friend, I am not asking you to base your salvation or healing on my personal experiences from the Lord. I merely mentioned them as a reference point of which I can base my observations on. I agree that Salvation is the highest blessing we can receive from God. But why should we be crippled in our life after we receive Jesus as our Savior? or why should we allow sickness to come upon us even as we are Christians? Jesus did not have any sickness in His Body even though He touched people with leprosy and all kinds of sikness. Nothing in Scripture says that these things came upon Him. He says we are to be like Him. Well, why be sick if He gave us provision to be well? I just learned today that we are not to criticize one another or any other member of the human race because to do so will allow the demon forces to enter your spirit. Now, alot of people do not believe that a Christian can be overcome or be influenced by demons once they accept Jesus, but there I have to differ. Romans 6:16 tells us that to whom we obey, that is whom we will follow. (my interpretation). I'm not going to get into a discussion right now with whether we can or cannot be influenced by demons. That is a whole new doctrine and will open up a whole new can of worms. The way I see it, if you want to be sick then you can. God gave each of us a will. I personally want to build up my faith to the point where nothing can come upon my body that will cause sickness or an infirmity. I have been healed twice from cancer through the direct prayers and by FAITH that God would do as He said He would do. I have seen my wife, crippled from what the doctors did to her through major operations, accept what Jesus had to offer through FAITH and instantly become well. That is what I base my faith on. What Jesus taught us. He did not just teach us to receive Salvation, He taught us to use His Scriptures for what we need. The Bible is not just a book to read. It is a guide to our daily lives and if you want healing, it is in there also. So, if people do not want to believe God for what the Bible gives us, then they don't have to. It is like people blaming the minister for taking some old lady's money. No one forces that lady to give to their ministry. No one sticks a gun into her side and demands that she sends money to a ministry. God said he would cause people to give into our bosum. He did not say it would rain down from heaven, though I also believe if God wanted to do that, He would. The Scriptures say that if we give He will cause men to give back to us (Luke 6:38). People are always slamming the minister for taking millions of dollars from the people. God gave us a will and He can put it upon our hearts to give or not to give but no one is forcing us to give. By the same set of rules, He is not forcing us to accept healing, we can or cannot be sick, by participating in His guidelines for healings. It is our will. I know I am digressing from our conversation but it all falls into the same category. If you want to believe, God will allow you to believe. If you do not want to believe in being "slain in the spirit" you don't have to. I didn't believe in tongues until God showed me what a wonderful experience it is everytime I do and how close I can get to Him by doing so. Most people don't believe in that either. That is their perogative. We can go on and on by this doctrine but it all boils down to the same thing, do you believe in it or not. Personally I do. |

You are right in saying that there is no scripture reference for being slain in the spirit. I have worked under men of God who have "poured oil" on a dead person and have seen them raised from the dead. I am sorry for the words "deluded fools". It gets my dander up when people have the audacity to comment on the works of a minister who they think is using theatrics for the power of God to heal people. God told us to go out and preach to the whole world, laying hands on those who need it, in the Name of Jesus. I can't give you scripture for those who are "slain in the spirit." I was the worst skeptic in the world and I didn't believe it myself until God showed it to me one night and I hit the floor also. I can only describe it to you as a great burst of power that seems to overwhelm your mind with love. When that overwhelming love pours into your spirit in such a powerful way, the human mind cannot accept it and you will literally hit the floor, "slain in the spirit." What matters it, if people are healed by being slain in the spirit? Sure there are some who use theatrics. But the majority overshadow them all. I would rather see someone do back-flips off a podium if that is what it takes to see them healed, than to tell them there is no basis for being slain in the spirit. There are many who lose their healings after a few days, but they have not followed up on the teachings of how to keep their healings. Satan uses any means to take away the blessings of God. I have seen people healed and a couple of weeks later be right back in the same fix they were in before. But, explain this to me Ed, if they were healed and they lost their healing, how did they get healed in the first place? Through theatrics? |

Just because it hasn't happened to you, don't use that as a criteria to condemn those that have. The Holy Spirit uses many methods to heal people. Slain in the Spirit is only one of many, which I might add, has always been a controversary to those who don't know. The Scripture in the Old Testament that says, "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm," is appropo here. Theatrics? Have you ever poured anointing oil over a dead person and proclaim life into them by the Name of Jesus, and seen them rise from the dead? Have you ever laid hands on someone and proclaimed the healing power of Jesus Christ, and seen them rise to their feet, completely healed? Don't comdemn those who do. Theatrics? Dear God! If someone has been crippled all their life and Jesus heals them by any means, that is cause for celebration. For show and for money? You poor deluded fools, you have shown yourselves for what you are. Like the King told Paul during his trial. "All this learning has driven you insane." Maybe you should get back to the beginning and use a little faith. Sure people leave the meetings of healers the same way they arrived. They are asking the healer to heal them when they should be focusing in on the One who heals. I would like to see thousands of men and women use "theatrics" to heal people if that is what it takes. Jesus spit on a man and healed him. Is that theatrics? Not to many years ago there was an old farmer from the mid-west that would spit on his hand and place it on the part of a person's body that was sick. That person would be healed instantly. Is that theatrics? Give us more theatrics if that is what it takes to get people healed. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Get off your duffs and get out there and heal people by the Name of Jesus, instead of knocking others for doing so. You folks remind me of Emmaus, remember what happened to him. |

73 | Remember the Sabbath; when? | Gen 1:1 | PastorFloyd | 90273 | ||
What do you base your faith on? If God is not in everyone of our services also then what are we having services for. I once stated to a new Christian that I went to a certain church and it felt like God was absent from their services. He stated that when he goes to a new church, he takes God with him. Sounds like good advice. |

75 | Searching for the truth | 1 Thess 4:17 | PastorFloyd | 90271 | ||
Two young men are alive today who WERE dead. Clinically dead, because of faith in the "Stripes of Jesus. As one who has been healed of cancer two different times in this life after being given up by doctors, "by the stripes of Jesus," faith has a beginning and end here. Without faith nothing can be accomplished from God. With faith, "All things are possible with God." You had faith to believe that Jesus is the Savior when you became born-again, that same faith is the key to your healing also. Accept it and stand in faith. Jesus is not dead, neither is the healing that He gave us as He shed His Blood for us. You want to live with sickness and infirmities? That is your right. After all, God gave us a will to do what we want and to believe what we want. |

76 | Why did God have no regard for Cain? | Heb 11:4 | PastorFloyd | 90269 | ||
Cain brought the offering with the wrong idea. His was an offering based on what was hidden in his heart. Cain was always angry. He did not want to go God's way. He wanted his own way in all things and he was always angry because his brother walked in the life of God. His brother's gift was from the heart, to God, not what can he get from God. | ||||||

78 | How long is a short while? | Rev 20:4 | PastorFloyd | 90267 | ||
Satan will be locked up when Jesus returns to save the remnant of the Jewish state. After Satan has ruled here on earth for 3 1/2 years. Revelations 19 and 20. We shall rule with Jesus for a thousand years and at the end of that thousand years, TO THE DAY, Satan shall be released to go out and deceive the nations that we are ruling. Some translations state that Satan shall be returned for a short while. KJV that it shall be for a short season. There are four season in a year, each 3 months long. But some theologians state that there is not enough time for Satan to achieve what he wants to do in that length of time, therefore, they state that a season is 300 years long. Which makes sense to me. How about you? |

79 | Concerning the "Hot Topic" of once saved | Heb 10:26 | PastorFloyd | 90266 | ||
Hebrews 10:26: You received Jesus as your Savior, ONCE. You cannot receive Jesus as your Savior again. You have already accepted Him, He cannot sacrifice for you again. You will always be a born-again believer, even if you go back into the world. Scripture says if we sin, we need only to ask Jesus to forgive us of our sin and we are right back where we started before that sin happened. But, you can get to the point where you will be so hardened against scriptures that you will not receive the things of God. Then you will be in trouble at the Great White Throne of Judgement. In Luke 1:77 when we accept Jesus as our Savior, we come into the light from the darkness. Before we accepted Jesus as our Savior, we were in the darkness; We could not understand the scriptures. But now we are in the light they are made clear by the Holy Spirit. Jesus stated that the Holy Spirit would bring all things to our remembrance. We all recognize the statement that God made the Israelites the chosen people. Right? After we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are grafted into the Jewish state as part of the new generation of Israelites who believe in Jesus. The blinders are taken off. The scales are removed. Now, the part that you want answered is that "we will be cut off." Understand this: God operates in love. If you do not operate in love, He cannot operate in your life and thus He cannot bless you. If He cannot bless you, you will not be a part of His kingdom and thus you shall be cut off. Also, if you continue to do the things of the world, then you will go right back into darkness again. |
