Bible Note: Hi Johnny, Yes, I do believe in speaking in tongues. While I have never been given it, I have heard and seen people who have. I too would like such a confirmation within my own spirit. I too have prayed for this gift. It really is a personal thing to edify one's self. I have also seen God's miraculous works in the healing of many people. I have watched as the blind was given sight and the lame walked. Glory to God! I myself have recieved many healings, through my grandmothers prayers and fasting. I was born with a larges hole in my esophagus(sp?), and the doctors said that I would not live long and that I would spend most of my time in and out of hospitals. Guess what! They were wrong! I was healed and my throat is fine! And I am now 37 and working on a nice ripe old age! Likewise my oldest son...who now serves in the Air Force, was once plagued with seizures. He had 100 a day. He was so bad off that I would have to tie him to a wheel chair so that he would not seize and fall out. He is now very strong, very intellegent, and very artisticly talented, with a bright future! Again I say...Glory to God! I do believe in the signs and wonders that follow the true believers. I am concerned that some of todays Christians deny that power, believing that miracles were preserved for ancient believers. Miracles are for us! Here and now! Our God is a great God and a powerful God! Nothing is too small or too big for Him to fix! I long for a community where...when one of our neighbors are ill or oppressed, we would go to them, and by the laying on of hands, through faithful prayer, by the Holy Spirit...see them healed. I know this how God meant it to be. God fulfilled a promise in me. He promised that if we raise our children in the Word, He will bring them back to Truth, should they stray. I thank God for His gentle reminders throughout my life. And I am set to run the race, no matter how bad things get during these times. I am ever thankful for the opportunity to share spiritual awakenings and truths with fellow believers like you. coop1 |
