Bible Note: Greetings Makarios, I am an artist, but I have not painted any pictures in years. That doesn't mean I am no longer an artist. It just means I haven't used my talent in a few years. I admit the church as a whole is not showing forth the same healing powers that the Bible talks about, but that doesn't mean we don't have the powers. It just means most are not using them. Scripture does not support the discontinuation of healing. What we need to ask ourselves is why aren't we personally laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover, raising the dead, etc. Then seek to grow in those areas until we all come to the unity of faith and grow up into Jesus. If we are not yet perfected, that is not because God has stopped working on or in or through us. It just means we have more growing to do. You don't tell a baby that running is not for them because they have only learned to crawl. You give them time to learn and you encourage and them along the way. Let's give every Christian encouragement and help in growing up into Jesus and being and doing all that God desires for each of us to do. Be blessed and encouraged in your growing, Bows44 |
