Haaa!!!
And this is where you are wrong- you need to learn a thing or two.
"
God is still healing and God is still raising the dead." Very true- i myself have been healed from diabetes, thank God.
The difference between 1st century church/disciples/apostles and now is that they were appointed to do that; their mandate was to spread the gospel to the world and were specifically appointed to do signs and wonders to help in their quest to spread the gospel. So they had ministries. For example- healing the sick was a ministry coz people would witness or hear about it and believe in the gospel- therefore we say they have been ministered to. same thing with raising the dead.
Paul's handkerchief or even shadow would heal masses.
Whoever thinks they are in the ministry of healing today let them walk into the nearest cancer/AIDS ward and put their gifts to test and maybe minister to the many lost souls. It won't happen because they'd be thoroughly embarrassed, all we have is fake signs of people coaching others to fake some sickness and claim healing in some private gathering somewhere- let them try their gift in a busy hospital.
If anyone thinks they can pray for the dead to be raised, let them walk to the nearest mog and put that gift into practice. Non would dare do that for fear of embarrassment. All we hear today is someone prayed and a dead body came to life, no witnesses whatsoever. And for this one we know it is impossible because:
Rev 14:
13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this:
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
14I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man
bwith a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
15Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap,
because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
16So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
18Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.”
19The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.
The people that die in the Lord from THAT MOMENT ON..., the opposite is also true, the people that die not in Christ form that moment on. No second chances because it is HARVEST TIME. The angel swings his sharp sickle and the earth is harvested, nothing like going back.
We have heard people say they died and came back to life- these is just the other side of delusion, it is together with the tongues we hear today. People are deluded- There's no one who goes about raising the dead today (and you can't argue what we all know), not only that we don't see, it is totally against the scriptures.
With the same authority that i say no raising of dead, i also say the tongues are fake.
salvation is the best resurrection from the Dead the Bible speaks of. And yes I have seen and yes I have been used in tongues and interpretation. It was confirmed by the outcome of what was said at the time.
