Bible Note: 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 |
