Personal profile for user screen name: forevertheone My name is MarkI am 40 years old and have been serving the Lord for 25 years now. What I mean by serving is that I was born again when I was 15 and a 4 months later I was filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. At that moment I was free from the law of sin and death in my life and began spending hours with the Lord every day and studied to show myself approved unto God. I have SINCE THAT DAY not been ashamed of the Lord and refuse to back down off of His Word - the ONLY Truth left in this world. The blessings of God follow me and so do His confirmations. Jesus said He will confirm His Word with signs FOLLOWING . . . those that know Him and preach in His name. The deaf hear, the sick are healed, the blind can now see. He is still the same Jesus! Although the majority of my studies have been at the feet of Jesus, praying in tongues and gaining revelation, and from thousands of teaching tapes, and thousands of hours at the feet of His wonderful five-fold ministry gift to the church (the apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists), I did take the time to attend Oral Roberts University and received a degree in biblical studies and pscychology, with a minor in Spanish. I am sharing this for the benefit of those that may read this who have a tendency to think that someone without a 4-year degree in studying the Bible and a background in Greek or Hebrew (which I loved, and ACED!) is not qualified to stand up with them in a discussion. I most certainly have this, but that is not what makes me qualified. True knowledge comes out of humility, and that MUST be based in a relationship with our Father. Jesus must be the head of the man/woman. And the person MUST be filled with the Holy Spirit to have access to the power and revelation that God wants to give us. True humility rightly divides the Word of Truth and accurately views the Word of God in light of the covenant that we have in Him. True humility will not bow it's knees to the fine words of man's wisdom, but only to Jesus and His Word. I have the degree, but am not proud because of it. I am proud because Jesus said that the revelation that comes from our mighty God, is the foundation on which the church was and IS built. Nothing . . . not the gates of hell . . .can withstand the revelation of God in the human spirit. I look down on NO man or woman for not having my education or degree in the Bible or having a knowledge of Greek. I love everyone the same and will treat someone with respect and honor as long as they respect the covenant and my Father, and don't step over that line and begin trashing His name and the blood that my Jesus - our Jesus - spilled out to ratify the most incredible covenant that has ever been created and then rose again from the dead in order to see to it - as the covenant's own Testator - that His will is now carried out in the lives of me and YOU and that all the blessings of that covenant - which go back to Abraham - are bestowed on us and we can then live like the kings and priests that we are!
