Bible Note: Did you know Benny Hinn went to India last yr and preached the gospel and almost 1 million recieved Christ.I believe miracles were done in the crowd without him doing his usual stage show. Im not saying that these brothers are perfect but they are stepping out and doing the works of Jesus And why did Jesus say Matthew 16:4.. Answer.Matt 16:1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees They were unbelievers,skeptics of his Lordship and Diety.. Matt 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. How close are we to being like one of these? What about the Apostle Paul from which we get many new testament books.. Rom 15:18 For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, Rom 15:19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Also.. 1 Cor 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 1 Cor 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God Gods kingdom is inclusive to include both Gods Gifts and miracles and his commands to preach the gospel to all nations..To exclude one over the other waters down Gods testamony. 1 Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.If you went to 3rd world countries there are phenominal miracles taking place through the hands of Gods people. Heidi Baker is a good example. Do a google search. She waits in the Lords presence for up to half a day and is handed dead babies and it is authticated that they have come to life in her arms. Im fully convinced that such power is released due to her compassion.. by the way she has started over 7000 churches. Thats a testamony of Gods power. lets look at Jesus example again.. Matt 14:14 When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick. Matt 20:34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him. I strongly believe compassion is a key ingredient to heal the sick. I also believe that if one prays for the sick with alterior motives(mans glory and not Gods) that God may not grant his request... Anyway enough said for now..Van 2 Cor 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; |
