  1. so sastian..these deceivers will be judged because of their evil intents right? What if their intent is "Godly" simply trying willing to help others & not just to pad their pockets? Will they be "rewarded" therefore because God approves of the healings and miralces at their hands??

     

  2. again I apologize Rocky, as the puter isn't that huge a factor in my life & yet..for others sakes I need to learn again how to do this..my apologies..

     

    If any of you do want further verification of this having happened..Jacob is on FB with his phone number as well & just e-mailed me & let me know that he has all kinds of verification of his condition and also testimonies of a couple of the Assy of God preachers that ministered to him as a baby as well as the nurse who was there when he was born this way!

     

    Word Wolf..thanx for those links as I'll run thru them as well..this is an interesting thing & thought of you guys.. Larissa who is the interviewer has some great sharings on her blogs as well..for those of you who have the time to look her stuff over..for a "young'un..she's got some great wisdom, as I just heard of her 2 days ago, so we don't go back very far.." a child shall lead them" is what comes up in me while reading her blogs..

  3. Interesting article..as I knew a bit of this..not a perfect man...thats for sure...but it sure stirred alot of people way back when & out of it came some amazing results & encouragements. Ethics is always at the center of one's "ministry" (hopefully) & this man had questionable ethics from what I read..Thankfully God dealt with him.

  4. yeh Mark the life expendecy back at the turn of the century was much lower than now a days..yet that's way too young to die..I agree..

    John G Lake found  that commanding the demonic off of people was a huge key to his own deliverance(which he learned from Dowie), thus utilized that for the sake of others while still promoting Jesus Christ and his grace & mercy in our lives & positive results followed...Blake in teaching this same mind set now, encourages people to rise up & lay hands on the sick,,..despite having sin in our lives & that God will deal with us (in terms of our own personal "sins"..but not to allow that to hinder us in reaching out to others)..since we are a "forgiven people"...we can walk out what God has promised & in that process...see great transformation in our lives from "sinner to son"....helps us in "cleaning up our acts"up, while we faithfully do minister to others (not making it all about ourselves.)

     

    Yes the Dowies & Lakes needed the transformation thru Jesus Christ, just as we do today...Gd will work with us while we're being conformed to the image of Christ! Whew..what a concept..Satan will try & get us to get "hung up" on our deficiencies but God is greater than that in how he'd like us to see it.  Pretty "cool system" if you ask me..LOL..at times I too fail..but am able to repent and ask the Lord to help me do better next go-round..especially when I do hurt the other instead of help, in my attempt to love my neighbor. "Ain't perfect" but I like the direction I've chosen to go.

  5. tlc..hey an interesting "take" from "LF"..I've seen him on TV a few times as he usually makes alot of credible points & I appreciate you recomending me watch this (& others of course)..I think I realize what you're both saying..the concept of "works" being involved in salvation vs it being a fee gift from God via Jesus's sacrafice & God raising him from the grave..I think TWI made this very clear in a way, in that alot of what they taught contrary to orthodox  religion  (ie water baptism/SIT/ 9 manifestations/etc)..much if not all are "works of the flesh"..one gets "saved" and the "tools" are within us..holy spirit..which we then can "operate" the manifestations etc.. In utilizing the spirit within me..I'm not after "getting a ticket into heaven".. that has already been accomplished with nothing for me to do in that regard on my part except to accept it as a done deal & move onward & upward with wonderful "works" we then can do. Why? Why SIT Why study? why go after more knowlege & wisdom? To "get me to heaven..." or is it to help me be more confident in what God has & is providing? & thus a brighter light before men to shine into their darkened hearts?

     

    One prays and we see our prayers answered..why? we prayed & God is faithful..looks like works (prayer)..but God says "pray & watch what I'll work in you for yours & others sakes" He says love & render not evil for evil, like the world reccomends we do (retaliation). & watch how those heaps of coals on their heads will help them know the love of God thru you & I. I lay hands on the sick and they shall recover..is the promise.. why? For my sake..no (although I'll be blessed when a healing happens) but for their sakes to draw them closer to God & all he has for them

    Faith w/out works is dead right? (James)we learn great truths & never do the works of what we learn..and we have an emptiness in us having NOT walked out on the limb to see if God will provide the power behind our words & actions....the aim of education is Action..we learn/we act on it/we see results/we therefore are growing because we did something instead of nothing. Doing nothing is typical, but not for me personally..I'd rather learn/try & be amazed!!

    when I first attended PFAL & completed it..I felt at the time I had something concise to offer others..before it was just "steer them to my church"..but this appeared to be even more insightful than the church was showing me.. (anything at that time was better than the ritualistic church I was attending)...did people want what I had experienced??Couldn't really know unless I got their $$ & got them "into the class" some of what we were taught was wrong..I get that..but it did introduce to me the idea of there being more to Christianity than my former church & this was pretty exciting..sadly.. wrong doctrine is destructive...which we either learned the hard way or not..

     

     

    so yeh there's work to be done..for the sake of the other..is it about me getting rewarded for it? If thats the case then you're making it about you & not the other..God will reward our faithfulness...but to really care about people is what I want to be about in my life.

     

     

  6. sadly I cannot get this man to really accept the notion that the Bible really is the word of God..I think he would like it to be, but is overly obstinent & has an awful attitude towards God & his plan for man's redemption..all based on God being a "bad guy" etc etc.. I sure wish  I could speak more into his life.but he's very easily able to just "forget the whole thing" & hope it'll all be ok after he dies....I'm at my wits end..honestly...BUT I believe God knows whats in his heart & I'd love to see a miracle for him, as he's always been upright IMHO....can't imagine him taking the time to research something he's only has an opinion of.. Thanx

  7. yes Mark please let us know what you find, as I recently have been "witnessing" to an old friend & this seems to be his very hang up..he sees all the mass murdering in the ot & has no desire to worship a tyrant & mass murderer..lol..I shared with him the analogy of a God who is protecting his kids like a mother bear her cubs.but he doesn't buy it....he's quite bright, but had no father growing up, thus my words are of little use to his preconceived mindsets over his 60 years on the rock...so yeh I too am interested..as its not something one can just lightly toss aside & claim it has no validity.

  8. Thankfully I was not a memeber (since according to TWI) you couldn't join it..lolol  what a joke..I did run twig for many moons.went wow twice & have been unlearning alot of their BS for the past 30  years..& thriving! I was always accused of "bucking the leadership" so I probably fit in here BUT I refuse to play the victim of their "way mindset"....I can & have risen above it IMHO..yeh I knew of a Sebastian as well..& yeh it looks pretty pfalish to me as well..lol

  9. I remember taking spanish in 5th & 6th grade & absolutely flunking both attempts (they were nice and gave me a C I thinkLOL..but in my mind I just couldn't grasp it)

    So 9 years when I spoke in tongues, even though I had no instruction in it..I simply had heard someone do it & told God I wanted it..& presto..there I am rattling away with this "drop dead gorgeous  language.." well if thats NOT supernatural..then I wonder what it is.. The language has changed on me three separate times(over the years)..due to ??.. As one would think if I were pondering what to speak,,it wouldn't be THAT different 3 times..LOL..so yeh its a manifestation (evidence) for us while on the planet & I believe Jude l ;20..along with several other verses that are about others..like perfect intercession.. thats my opinion & belief of course..you're entitled to yours & me to mine right??

     

     

     

  10. If you believe the idiom..then Satan is God's murderer for hire....really the bad that does happen  to some..they bring on themselves...oher attacks are for real & perhaps well thought out by the demonic out there..not hired by God but them enjoying destroying people just like their "father of lies"..I daily (usually right when I jump out of bed) rebuke & cast out anything that is demonic that perhaps "got on me in the night' when my mind is open....if "they" aren't ordered to leave but persist..then I think they'll hang around & torment until we do rise up & take authority over them..if you don't believe you have authority over ALL demonic..then most likely you'll never rebuke it...if & when you do..I think you'll see some super results in areas that you finally quit "putting up with"...

     

    BTW welcom Bill..this is a fun playground & much to re-think ..
