dmiller and Roy,

I have friends who have "fallen under the power" at conferences and they have all said the Holy Spirit ministered to them while they were on the floor. It has never happened to me that way, but I know the HS has ministered to me in other ways at the same conferences. I believe we are all "wired" uniquely and what is important is that we submit ourselves to the HS and let Him minister to us however He wants to. The manifestations are not what's important (meaning if we fall out of our chairs or not).

Sorry, Abigail, didn't notice you just said the same thing...so I'm agreeing with you.

Oenophile,

I'm still digesting what you said. That is GOOD. Feeds me, anyway.

Everyone else,

I know we aren't supposed to judge others when they hurt us now that we're BIGGER, let's say, but it's still not that easy when people do things deliberately. Jesus said on the cross to forgive them for they know not what they do. I suppose it is safe to assume that when people hurt others deliberately that even though they are doing it intentionally maybe they don't really KNOW what prompted their desire to do it so therefore they don't really KNOW why they did it and therefore it should be easier to forgive them.

It's easier to blow it off as not knowing what they are doing early on, too, than it is after we analyse it 1500 different way afterwards.

Anyway, I HOPE I can learn to do that more and sooner from now on.

Hi all,

Please pray for jobs for my husband and me this week. He has been jerked around by a company for a month now and has gone in four times. Last week, for a personality and background check which they say is standard for their co., but they keep saying he's "in the running." Please pray that they'll make a decision this week or that something else will come up that looks promising.

Also, for me to get something this week. We're both trying to change fields, but at this point we'd both take almost anything.

Thanks,

WB

Praying too. Is it still Dog Grooming that you do?

THANKS for sharing that!

Roy and anyone else who might know,

Roy's prophecy in the Holy Spirit thread got me thinking again about something I was studying this morning from Jesus about how we will be judged according to how we judge others. For those of us who were put with tough and possibly unfair "governors", do you think we get graded on a curve?

Paul was my favorite and I still like his music. Michael Douglas used a lot of his tunes in The In-Laws.We rented it last night.

He should be having another kid sometime this month.....but haven't kept up too closely.

Alfakat,

Do you mind if I ask, what did you mean by "shiest or sheist"? I couldn't find it in the dictionary except to possibly mean "shy." That's not what you mean is it?

Sirguessalot,

I heard Fred Price try to teach one section of Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed almost word for word one night on TV, gosh 7 years ago or something, and I kept thinking, "you better get moving or you're not gonna finish this section" and he didn't.

Funny! I'm sure none of the people in that huge auditorium in CA KNEW...but then maybe there were one or two. Who knows...

People do teach from his stuff (sorry John).

Ex10: I think you will really like the book. It is also a Bio of Benny Hinn's early life and the persecution he endured by his own family for becoming a Christian. I believe he has the skinny on who the Holy Spirit really is (and it's not just another name for GoD as twi taught). He (The Holy Spirit) has a ministry and He is fulfilling it with those who will LET him HELP them (remember the comforter, counselor, helper, etc.) The thing that kept me from reading the book for so long was past prejudice from another source that we all are familiar with here. I have never been to one of his crusades.

Sirguessalot: I heard you the first time but didn't know what to say except I agree and thanks. A book that you might be interested in reading, possibly, is one I like a lot called Redefining the Role of Women in the Church by Drs. Jim Davis and Donna Johnson. It has some really good stuff about the feminine side being pressed down and under and some interesting light on "no male or female," and women's ministries, etc., but that is another thread.

I know at times we can see and do things only possible because we have holy spirit, but it seems to me that the major function of the gift is to assure us of the presence of God and Jesus the Son in our lives. And we become "sensitive" to the workings of that spirit, the better our relationship with the Son is. But I guess the point is, it's the will of God that is fulfilled, not our own plans and devices.

Ex10,

It sounds like we have been listening to The (SAME) Holy Spirit lately! LOL! Someone recommended a book to me several years ago and I just blew him off when he suggested it, but last summer I saw it at Barnes & Noble and decided I wanted to read it. So, I went over to the bookstore for 4 nights in a row and read the book from cover to cover and it is the BEST book I have ever read on THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Don't fall out of your seat, but it is Goodmorning Holy Spirit, by Benny Hinn. It is also one of the best books I have, personally, ever read, period.

Does anyone know where they are living? Liz and I were great friends even though we didn't stay in touch very well. If I could just get the name of a city, maybe I could look them up in the white pages and call them...

Welcome to the Cafe, Teknon!

I'm so glad you're here. You sound like you've already done some mental inventory and are thinking things through and, heck, God will show you the rest (the parts that YOU need to know).

Just sit back, relax, and let HIM provide and have another cup of coffee on me!

grasshopper,

I was still having a recurring dream until a few years ago about my being at HQ at the ROA and everything looked different and no one knew who I was. I was just walking around observing. LOL! And, I got out a LONG time ago.

Hang in there...this too shall pass.

ummmm....let's see.....i saw a wildlife show one time on A&E and two elephants that were not married were h***ing, so it must be that one......
