The latest miracle in my life is a houseful of newly met Sisters and Brothers in Christ thirsting and hungry for the Word and teaching of the Holy SPirit...joining for a bible study every Thursday
I'm awed beyond measure. I would never have been able to orchestrate this myself...not in million years.

I was recently introduced to the ministry of Curry Blake and highly recommend it to you all.
There is a lot of "meat" and not milk in his teaching from the Word.

rockrz you still have not answered my question: do you go to the dentist or not??????????? you claim the apostle's promises yet i dont think the apostles were playing a smart guy on the internet making fun and condescending others.............. your fruit is self-glorifying in every post i see you jump in like the pope and tell the truth and make fun of others.............. you could be the first person i have to ignore on this web forum its sad............ you have good things to say but i hope you could phrase them in a less condescending manner im not denying miracles and i have witnessed some myself but to say all healthcare is bad is just madness because i know you do go to the dentist......................
No, I don't... neither did Jesus
You don't reckon teeth is something God is powerless to take care of???
Good point, thank you for the reminder!
I need to remember to just say my piece and get out... since we know arguing about it is pointless.
In the end we'll see who ends up where and we'll see those that stood on God's promises rewarded by Him.

Hi PrettyBelle., I've heard some good things about Christine Caine but have not seen her or heard her sing yet. Praise the Lord!!! Some astounding kind of wonderful amazing things occur when a bunch of believers are in one place together worshiping and praising Jesus. Thank you so much for sharing what great and amazing things the Lord has done for you!! Amen!! I love to hear the witness of those in the household of God.
Well., here's a thought here for us to think about. Sure., we don't always appreciate the style of some in the household of God but Jesus loves all of us even in our quirky personalities. And even with our sometimes "grating" ways., the Holy Spirit still heals us and still works in our lives because of the faith we put in Jesus. It's not due to the personality of the individual or how appealing we may or may not be. It's about faith.
I've heard of believers who don't get insurance and that to some is a "holy grail" thing. Yet a man like George Mueller who had orphanages in England in the 1800s or early 1900s prayed for all the needs they had when they had them. And God answered the man's prayer due to the faith he had and not due to his "quirky" personality. A good Christian business man would argue with George's lack of life and health insurance but the Holy Spirit didn't.
It's awesome the diversity in the household of faith. We are not all the same and yet He loves us. How awesome is that!!??

One verse sums it up.
Act_5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
The Holy Ghost is given to those who OBEY Jesus. As long as people are obeying satan and committing sins who can the Holy Ghost reside in? The Holy Ghost is given to them that Obey Jesus, not to them that disobey Him. He commands " Love One Another" Those who do not Love others, are NOT obeying Jesus.
Heb_5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Who? Who are given Eternal Salvation according to this verse? Those that Obey Him. Woe to those who disobey Him, and still think they have Eternal Salvation, this verse teaches those who OBEY HIM, have Eternal Salvation.
Luk_6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Do you call Him Lord, but obey His enemy and commit sins? Your Master is to whom you obey.
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Do you keep His Words? He COMMANDS us to Love One Another. Woe to those who don't all the while claiming that they know Jesus.
Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And His Words are "Love One Another"

Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
[SUP]18 [/SUP]They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
There is the problem. Too many, far too many Christians do not believe the Bible is true....I make this the entire bible. Why? If you do not believe only one point in the bible, how can you trust the rest of it. If God lied on only one single point, how do you know He is not lying on more? So.....They do not believe the bible is true. How sad!
