I have made it one of my goals to be able to do that- to be so close to god that i can do all those things. And jesus did not use even one of his miracles on himself so neither will I. I want to live just as jesus did even if that means giving up everything I have- a home, a bed, family all of it. I want to go out into the world and preach the word of god with power passion and authority. All of this for god's glory if he tells me to heal one person I will if he tells me to rebuke a person I will. Sometimes people need to see a miracle to believe in god as it was shown many times in the bible. I have told god That i will become a shepherd- a beacon of light into a world of darkness and as i gather his lost sheep i will make more shepherds from those lost sheep until the day he returns to find his flock increased tenfold. yes this sounds very cheesy but it is my dream and I know if it is god's will and if it brings him glory it will happen, my passion for christ is a little out there i admit but it's a beautiful dream that the lord has given me. I am so honored to have been given such an amazing and beautiful responsibility because I believe god gave me this dream and one day it will come true i hope many others here will think way out there as well
That is not a dream but a promise in your heart that God is waiting for you to fulfill.. You don't have to wait for God to tell you to heal someone. He's waiting on you. Jesus died for everyone not just a specific person. Jesus went around healing ALL the sick ( I'm pretty sure u know this already)... But tears almost came to my eyes reading your post. I just want to let you know you can do these things now and yes it's al lil nerve wrecking walking up to a random person and telling them hey Jesus can heal your arm of leg or get you out that wheel chair threw me ( well for me it is) lol..
( well for me it is) lol..that is so great that you not only understand what i want but that the lord touched you through me I would more than anything love to do this now, I mean I am just itching to go and live as christ did but what if i say this, try it and do not have enough faith and trust in god to do it? I just don't know pray then say and heal someone with no doubt in my mind it will happen. I have a funny story i decided one day that i was ready I was ready to go and live for christ healing people saving people and glorifying god so I saw my desk and i ordered it to move because if the desk moved then I could heal people and it was time. I said it with power and as much faith as i could muster but i guess it wasn't enough it didn't even make a creaking noise. I know why it didn't work though even though I tried my best there was still doubt in my mind it would happen even though I tried to force it out of my mind. I tried over and over again but nothing doing... so i figured i wasn't close enough to god yet and I know that if someone was video taping that and put it on youtube I don't even want to imagine that. I am not crazy though just watch one day my faith and love for god will be very powerful anyone can perform miracles it isn't something that just a chosen few can do and I believe this with all my heart. But it hasn't been done in over two thousand years why is this? this is why, so many followers of christ are srtong enough in him to do this but they never even try. I noticed this and vowed to god to creat a new generation of jesus freaks i promised god him and i were going to turn the world upside down, we were going to shake the world awake and the world's colors will burn brightly for him. Oh I just cannot wait for it and i hope i will through christ spend the rest of my life living like he did with out a home or even a penny in my name but i know i will have plenty to eat and drink because he will provide me. I hope the lord is looking down and smiling i want to somehow see his happy face and his sweet laughter.

That's because I didn't know who I was in Christ. I use to command healing in my fiancé's back ( she had scrolyiosis. That's a curve in the spine) well I would tell it to become straight and it never did nothing till the day I found out who I was. Which is a son of God a jointed heir to the throne with Christ and he gave us authority to command these things. Plus Jesus defeated all these things and the same spirit he haves lives in us, so it has to submit. Plus it's not how hard you pray or what u say really. It's not us who labor but God. I learned that the devil try's to make us question our self, just like he try to make Jesus question himself ( by saying if you really are Gods son turn the stones to bread) but he didn't Bcuz he knew who he was. Oh yeah and about my fiancé's back I told it you have to submit to whats inside of me and her back just cracked like 8 times sounded like popcorn. It's was amazing. But even if it didn't work you ask God why it didn't work and you learn and keep striving, walking in love. And at the end of the day all those people your commanded healing in you planted a seed of Jesus in there mind and the desk thing lol just Bcuz you didn't see it work don't mean it didn't, we don't live by sight but by faith and Jesus prayed for them men with leprosy and he didn't see them heal right in front of his face. They got healed later on and one came back and thanked Jesus . ( sorry if my stuff is all over the place, but you can do it God is faithfull)

( sorry if my stuff is all over the place, but you can do it God is faithfull)alrighty then, i will continue to keep trying and to pray to Jesus to show me who i am in him I thought I was doing it wrong and that is why it didn't work but it makes me so happy to think that maybe I will be ready very soon i know alot of christians but they don't have the same level of joy in christ as me they didn't even think much of the visions the lord showed me. i know it's hard to beleive but i was lucky enough to be right beside god as he was showing me his plan. here is how it happened, before i was saved i was alone in despair and i cried out to god to show me is real because i was so alone and I needed to know he was there. i went to sleep that night in misery But that very night i was suddenly in some sort of heaven it was the actual heave but everything was pure white and god was standing right beside me I could only see him as a spirit not a physical form like i expected him to be I later learned that he is a spirit and that is why he can everywhere at the same time. But he was showing me his plan for the universe, the only way i know how to explain it is a huge river of amazing colors and it was so beautiful that i couldn't stop crying and thanked him over and over and over again for showing me this. let me just say that merely being in his presence is the most amazing thing that can ever happen to anyone I woke up the next morning feeling happy for no at reason at all i could only think of the dream. when i told the people at my church about this they thought nothing of it and my love for god reaches levels that it just tires people and i have yet to find someone as passionate in christ as me and on the same level. i actually one day when i was saved asked god to show me another vision but it was for a different reason, i didn't need proof this time i just wanted to see what other amazing things he would show me. again i didn't expect him to answer but he did that very night. i would explain it but it is very complex and idk if anyone here want's to know about it so I guess i will wait to tell it until someone says they want to hear it

Please dont look for signs and wonders, but look to the heart of man, it takes alot more then a mere belief in Christ, but ask yourselves, are you truly following Him on the narrow road?
Most churcches today preach a form of godliness, but deny His power to set the captives free, instead they flock to hear the wide road, that saves them IN their sins, and that Jesus is thier substitute and not thier example to follow and obey.
Joh 8:30 As He spoke these words, many believed upon Him.
Joh 8:31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.
Joh 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps My Word, he shall never see death.
Did Jesus come to show mankind just how easy it is to be saved? Did he just say believe, then just trust I did it all for you? Or did He make it very clear what we must do to inherit eternal life with Him!!
I believed that Jesus came to take the place of fallen mankind, who was incapable to do anything especially to repent and seek the mercy of God, I was told the way was narrow, but in reality it was actually a wide road, where everyone believes they were born a sinner, and Jesus was their remedy which kept them safe, and added them into the kingdom, no questions asked, nothing to do, such as preparing the heart, forsaking all known sin, and actually coming out of the pig pen, before God would even consider forgiveness and mercy.
But from what Jesus said in the above scriptures, I can clearly see, there was much more He was sharing then just believe, and all is well, He went on to say you must continue in His word (truth) which was clearly revealed throughout all the Bible, calling mankind everywhere to repent or perish, and then forsake the world, and follow Him on the narrow road that leads to life.
Notice, Jesus said, we are TO DO, in many scriptures, He sure didn't say, I will do it for you, or it’s already done for us, NO He said clearly we are to KEEP HIS word, or die!
It’s simple, but a lost message, clouded by all the vain, man made teachings circulating throughout the Christian world and church system. No one will go to the word of God first to seek truth as their life depended on it, they take the word of mere men, who have also been deceived into believing the great lie, thus remaining under the great delusion! 2 Thess 2-10-11.
It all begins with getting away from easy salvation, and getting into the truth! We must continue and remain in His word and truth; it’s a working faith in love, devotion and purity! That comes from a heart made pure through faith and repentance unto life!
Joh 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

Yes I hope all Christians know they suppose to read there word and continue in it. But there's more to it than that. Jesus also commanded the apostles to go in to every nation and make there own disciples and said command them everything that I commanded you. Which was go heal the sick,........ Etc... And love your neighbor as yourself and God with all your heart, soul and strength. Plus tell the word to every creature. Not just sit on our butt and go to church every Sunday, more like be the church, and go out to people. ... Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save it, today I see people preach to much about sin, when Jesus said preach the good new we are all righteous in Gods eye, we all are already forgiven. People just don't know that they are and that us Christians are washed clean and God see's us as spirit already. It's us who condemn our selfs. Not that I'm saying go out and sin and your still going to heaven but stop thinking so much about sin and making it about that.

alrighty then, i will continue to keep trying and to pray to Jesus to show me who i am in him I thought I was doing it wrong and that is why it didn't work but it makes me so happy to think that maybe I will be ready very soon i know alot of christians but they don't have the same level of joy in christ as me they didn't even think much of the visions the lord showed me. i know it's hard to beleive but i was lucky enough to be right beside god as he was showing me his plan. here is how it happened, before i was saved i was alone in despair and i cried out to god to show me is real because i was so alone and I needed to know he was there. i went to sleep that night in misery But that very night i was suddenly in some sort of heaven it was the actual heave but everything was pure white and god was standing right beside me I could only see him as a spirit not a physical form like i expected him to be I later learned that he is a spirit and that is why he can everywhere at the same time.

Ok here it is, like i said this happened the very night i asked for it but it is also very strange and may not make a lot of sense but here it is- i remember first off jesus was in front of a huge crowd and peter was beside him, the crowd were being very cruel and mean to jesus and i was doing something as this happened i could only see my hand which was also god's hand and we were collecting soft clay from the dirt to mold as we were doing this jesus yelled out even the son of man will defend his honor!I know the message i got from the clay part, god is going to use me to seperate people, the clay represents people who are either christians or people who will be and the dirt represent's mankind and what dirt isn't clay are the ones who refuse to accept Christ and we will mold the people of christ (the clay) and the dirt will be left behind. this next part makes absolutelly no sense to me at all jesus and john were walking together and they were suddenly attacked by an enemy, john was okay but his first thought was where is jesus? and he just walked past the enemy as the enemy just stood there frozen, here is the freaky part he found jesus but his body was nothing more than a shell i woke up glad i was shown this but i was so very confused and was wondering if maybe that last part was not from god. even now I wonder that but i cannot help but feel there is a message in there i am supposed to learn any ideas?

Thanks for sharing. The Holy Spirit is the only one that can legitimately help interpret the dreams He gives to you or anyone else and all in is time in our life. I am thankful to the Lord for the heart and zeal of desire you have and the powerful love that is in that zeal you desire. The power and glory that is destined for the body of Christ Jesus is going to be seen and demonstrated in a triple measure of the spiritual rain that is coming to cleanse every hindrance of flesh spirits and man so the world will see a glorious body of believers for us to rescue all that want to from the wrath coming on all that reject such a Beautiful Perfect Savior. The Lord gave me a dream showing me this 26 years ago, I had a dream 4 months ago in it I saw all the great works of power and His love through those making up His body of believers that I saw also 26 years ago then I was shown a calendar I saw 2012 and 2013 that these events would happen. I think of it and I feel joy unspeakable I have waited 26 years for this time and I am ready to leave everything, to deny myself take my cross and follow Jesus to be where He is forever asking that I may bring all that will come with me so I can give them to Him. If you want to read the dream and vision the Lord gave me I will share it. My greatest desire and prayer is that the Lord will come upon you and overwhelm you beyond all you have ever experienced so that you will be clothed in Him and give His all-powerful love to everyone who will receive.
yes i would love to hear about your dream, is it possible the lord is showing people this all around the world so we can all do what is to be done? Like he is choosing people to go out and save people? because i have the desire to do this and the lord has clearly chosen you as well, creating shepherds by showing what our goal is in a different way for each person. Almost like he is creating an army to go out and save many people. how amazing would that be!?
I believe in the heart of the lord, i am so glad i can be a child in his arms. i had forgotten who he was. I did not lose my faith but i prated to him last night to let me know what and who he is. But i knew all along I had just forgotten that he is Love and I am his child. he answered my prayer bt reminding me of when i was in his arms and i thank and praise him for it! and i thank him for the people who have believed in me and encouraged me not judging me. I pray that all of you will prosper in the lord and gain many riches.also to the ones who believed in me and gave me great advice you know who you are I know god is sitting on his throne smiling down on you saying( these are my true children in them i am well pleased) I know this to be true and i am so glad
