If that is the case why when you pray for someone with cancer to live they don't.
How is that praying for your own lust??
It isn't! It's the right state of heart. But there are things that one must do to be perfect, that is, to do real miracles, to become a "Son of man", what a human was meant to be able to do. Heal, walk on water, and so on.
You can have the heart, but you gotta back it up in the flesh.[SUP]
3 [/SUP]Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
You have to sell all that you own, give it to the poor, take off walking barefoot with no money, no survival supplies, and ask nobody for anything, not even insinuate need. So that your faith, and the hearts of those who see you will be tested. Someone will see you barefoot and freezing, and having had their heart tested, offer you shoes, a warm coat, food, a bed for the night, and so on. The worker is worthy of these minimum wages.
But you can't walk out on your moral and family responsibilities, those, you must wait to be taken out of the way.
Nobody has truly given up family for Jesus. But He
will come like a thief.
You really owe that mortgage and child support, get ready for foreclosure and an ex-wife that flees with your child.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
That certain man was Himself, but He didn't want to brag.
Nobody will do miracles in Jesus name until they have walked in His shoes.
Coming out of Babylon and Egypt and living on nothing but faith.
NO MATERIAL POSSESSIONS WHATSOEVER except the humblest of clothes to cover your nakedness, and two swords, a bible and a swiss army knife.
It's hardcore.
Hardcore.
Many are called but few are chosen.
Everyone else is gonna be alright.
Then came "God calls me beautiful" preaching in the wilderness, wearing sackcloth and eating grasshoppers.
And said, soon, I will become something I don't deserve to be.
Doh! My cousin beat me to it! But that's all good by me!
He carried His cross and was crucified long before they put a log on His shoulder and physically killed Him.
[SUP]48 [/SUP]And ye are witnesses of these things.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]And, behold, I send the promise of my Father
upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
[SUP]51 [/SUP]And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
[SUP]52 [/SUP]And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
[SUP]53 [/SUP]And were
continually in the
temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
And that my friends, is how TV "healers", hospitals, insurance, and the need for commerce will crumble at the hands of the bride, right before He shows Himself in the sky.
And whatever city you enter in to, inquire - "Who is worthy?"
