Yes. Here is how I make downpours:

1. Go some place on a cloudy day with a long walk from the parking lot.
2. Tell yourself, "Nah, won't need the umbrella."
Or dance untill it rains lol :D

If you dont believe in comanding the weather you will never see it.
If you dont believe we lay hands on the sick and the recover you will never see.
If you dont believe we raise the dead you will never see it.
If you dont believe we can cast out demons you will never see it.
If you dont believe any of the above you dont believe the bible.

You all preach scripture. Do you believe it?
Its called carnal thinking, unable to believe anything beyond the natural mind can understand. Ive just made myself a target lol

This was some sort of vacation I take it: you neither farm or live in Italy? So, are you certain your sight seeing wishes trumped the needs of Christian Italian farmers, who could have used the rain? When you prayed for no rain, was this taking into account your neighbor?
God is God. He has already run every decision to every possible end. He is able to answer every prayer of faith yet not take blessing from any of those farmers also living by faith. Whatever the mix of requests, He is able to settle all the issues, but only for those living by faith in HIM. All the others are on their own, taking at least one path God already knew would not work out.

Something that occurred to me a long time ago is to avoid asking for anything that I can't first spiritually see as in keeping with God's will and for His glory, or to address some real trouble and need seen as requiring His intervention. Examples of Biblical prayers are not a laundry list of consumer items that exceed basic needs.

I never cease to be amazed by things the rest of the world would determine as coincidence. Last night a memory came to mind of a time that must have been at least 15 years ago when a group of us went outside for a break between meal setups. The manager made a comment about being apprehensive of the impending storm and I told her, "There us nothing to fear, we have been given command of the weather." She make a joke of it laughing incredulously that she could do it and I told her ,"do it". She humored me and seriously closed her eyes and raised her arms and a breath of wind came and swirled autumn leaves around her as if she were the centrifuge. Everyone was delighted to see such a thing and it was quiet for a little after that, but everyone was sporting a strange smile of amusement and consideration.

Could really use somebody like her, if she could also raise her arms and weed whack?

Ha!
If you caught her at the right time, AFTER WORKING HARD IN A HOT KITCHEN, the most she could do regarding the grass is raise her arms and cause it to wilt a little.

Ansewer this question and I will answer yours.

How many people in a wheel chair have you layed hands on to get up and walk?
I'm not the one that started this thread and laid claims of what can be "commanded".

Silly to start a thread and get asked a legitimate question pertaining your posts and then give a question to a question instead of an answer.

Childishness - not Christ-like.

I mean - if you started this thread and have seen these miracles working through you, why would you post this other post and tell us we're off if we don't "command" these things to happen and resent being asked a question on it?

If you dont believe in comanding the weather you will never see it.
If you dont believe we lay hands on the sick and the recover you will never see.
If you dont believe we raise the dead you will never see it.
If you dont believe we can cast out demons you will never see it.
If you dont believe any of the above you dont believe the bible.

You all preach scripture. Do you believe it?



Though I do believe we have His authority and anointing to be used in all ways that He was - But my problem is that you're leaving off the part in His Word about "IF He Wills" ... as in -- getting a direct word from His Spirit to 'do' what you're faulting us for not doing. If you're not led by His Spirit to lay hands on people - you'll do more damage to them and their loved ones then you seem to understand.

We don't "command" weather - but God can prove Himself by answering our prayer to change the weather. I've seen that.

I've seen people be healed - but if it was His Will to heal everybody that I pray for - I'd be going around everywhere healing the sick in hospitals and Nursing Homes, My Family - etc. etc..

My question is not out of line with your posts.

In 1999 while living in a very old house in Malvern, AR, a tornado outbreak swept through the state. The radio let us know one was coming to our neighborhood. We discovered the lid of the storm cellar under the house was covered with a cord of firewood, so we went to the kitchen where the most wood surrounded us. I began tossing plates and silverware into the pantry so they wouldn't become projectiles. My wife looked out the window saying "What am I looking at?" It was a huge green swirling ball full of lightning rolling into our yard. From the damage happening around it we realized there wasn't hope of getting through it. Right then she stepped to the door, swung it open, and commanded with finger pointing to it "In the name of Jesus go over us and leave us alone." Immediately it rose up and passed over without harm. She has always been a virtual prayer warrior, her first project to get me saved 23 years earlier, a major miracle, as she married me unequally yoked. We learned to pray more inclusively, as it came right back down in the street and removed all the ancient oaks lining it, the fire hydrant, the poles, and dozens of neighbor homes were destroyed. We could see a mile across town where formerly we had only a view of roofs. Some burst trees contained an arsenal of civil war weapons, uniforms, meal packs that had been stuffed into hollow cavities that were recovered and put in museums. We had to abandon the house due to news there would be no utilities until after the cleanup, projected to take months. We've been watching the weather since then, and whenever radar shows danger coming to us, we pray it away. The maps show storm after storm splitting, each side going around us. We've taught prayer classes a long time, telling that, and have never heard of a single family adopting "preemptive prayer" as we call it, some saying "hedge building", suffering storm damage. That of course extends to any other threat they face in life. The "hedge" principle comes out of Satan's challenge in
Job 1:10 (KJV) [SUP]10 [/SUP] Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.



I remember that storm as I lived in Bryant when that tornado rolled through Malvern.......!

All miracles are if He wills, as the power is His, not ours. There those here with little clue. Actually, I have seen amazing things, most of which I would never talk about here. The Lord isn't a three ring circus, seeking to prove anything, nor is He in the business I've ever seen empowering anybody who would go around bragging they know something of the miraculous others don't. Some of the trollish comments are just that, i.e., hot air. Even the miracles of our Lord were not to go around healing the world of sickness, or He would have, or putting on magic shows, He didn't, but His public displays were to primarily prove His power and authority as from God, so the gospel message of faith through the ages would have evidence, nothing for the sake of, "Look what I can do." There are dogs that don't hunt here on CC, out the wazoo.

I agree entirely JesusIsAll, but just not in such strong terms as the last sentence. :cool:

I believe in fasting and prayer as well for the sick and for other needs or even just speaking a word from the Spirit over the phone or by oneself regarding other miracles mentioned - but it still needs to be His Will. Amen!

We r to be directed by the Spirit, not fleshly whims. The folks we were with in Italy need Christ. Our friends said 'aren't we lucky for such good weather'. I chimed in 'I don't believe in luck'. We Aldo slipped in briefly that we had prayed about the weather and then let it go. A seed was planted by God's design. Way to many folks in Naples and Rome are steeped in darkness. Wine and pagan idolatry, Catholicism, and open bill board porn, is all they know. This we discerned. This we witnessed.
Who's to say that God won't take that witness and start a holy fire? We simply obeyed His lead. I know, by the Spirit, something is happening.
My wife and I prayed that if He didn't want us to go, close the door. I really did not want to go but we were forced by a circumstance. We went, we saw, we prayed for the masses steeped in their own brand of darkness. Is that not what we are to do? Not really a vacation. We endured the oppression there and many moments when the Spirit brought us to tears and intercession.

It's taken a long time for me to realize that, JesusIsAll.

I'm still praying as I said elsewhere today, that we don't get the 6-10'' of snow they predicted for us here for Wed-Thurs that'll spoil a lot of family's Thanksgiving together and make roads dangerous for those who travel anyway. Hope they don't if it does. This is one time that I'm thinking - what is that day really about besides turkey for most people - so I don't blame God if He doesn't answer this prayer of mine --- but one year I did pray for Christmas time that there wouldn't be so many accidents on the road and after New Year, it was in the Newspaper that that year had the least traffic accidents.

So Yes - we do believe in miracles - if it be His Will through His Wisdom and not ours.

God Bless you too!!!
