I believe the church has to get pass the crucifixion and live in the resurrection.
I've seen to many here and elsewhere who have a hard time dealing with sin especially there own.
That matter has been taken care of by Jesus the only one who could and has finished that chapter in our lives.
Not that we should for a minute down play or lesson its importance but to focus on what happens next.
This is when we've been given authority, the Holy spirit, the ability to turn the world up side down.
Understanding who we are in Christ . Why we are a strange people in a strange land called to do things even greater than Jesus.
It is God who enables so let us say "here i am send me" . Not i have issues so pass for now.
If you want your faith to grow exercise it. Take God at his word. That in its self is faith.
The human condition is afraid of failure.

Yes absolutely and I know there will come a day when his true church will walk in his power and authority a children specially grafted for a time of harvest a people who willwalk in spirit and truth and God the father will be glorified through them
Before I ever experienced miracles, signs, and wonders I always remembered as a very young child learning the Torah that as Jews my family always had a saying, God is the same as He was in the Old Testament and now today in the New Testament.
After learning the Torah and the rest of the Tanakh I began to read the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament.
I saw a consistent God working miracles from Creation itself to the day we are Resurrected.
And the Resurrection hasn't happened yet so I know that means God is still doing miracles. Even everything the TWO WITNESSES will be using Gifts of the Holy Ghost and multiple miracles will happen and that is still in our FUTURE.
But recently I witnessed a man named Charlie Kirk be gunned down and the young people are so on fire churches are having Revival again which is a miracle.
I watched on live television the President of the most powerful Nation, his VP and Cabinet and several billionaires stand where the whole world could see them be a Testimony and WITNESS to the MOST HIGH GOD!
Joel 2 is about to be completed and the Holy Ghost is moving like the 1970s and we're about to be participaters and witnesses to some of the greatest miracles.
God is doing something amazing and only those willing to be a part will be greatly favored and blessed.
Miracles, the Gifts of the Holy Ghost, yeah they're booming and about to be more and more evident to those coming and expecting God to move.
These are the days I have been waiting for. I pray that God let's me be just a tiny part of it.

People get in the way. Those were good times though. I got baptized with the Holy Spirit in early ‘94. There was a lot “flesh” going on during that time with the charismatic church, but a lot of good with it.
How much "faith" did Lazarus display when he was raised from the dead?
He didn't, he couldn't, his body was no longer alive.
Nothing stops the power of God, He invites us to walk in it, not hold to an outward form denying it.

indeed, people still being people and not growing in Him to the extent all that is seen is Jesus.

Yes, it's often a mixture. Satan hides in revivals. This was the case in the amazing Welsh revival in the very early 1900's and the Azusa Street revival about the same time.
One of the evidences to me is whether or not the meeting is orderly. People making crowing noises, laughing loudly, falling over for no apparent reason are not what I would call orderly.
The so-called Toronto Blessing is an example of demonic manifestations counterfeiting the Holy Spirit. It swept much of the church faster than COVID in a football crowd. Ignorance is not bliss. It is spiritually dangerous.
Never thought I'd see the day where I agree with you this much Shittim, lol
The excuse of "You just missed it, you should have been here yesterday" is getting rather old.
Presenting past events as evidence of supposedly ongoing events is absurd and willful blindness.
These baseless and silly claims are making a mockery of Christianity.

Yeah, the objective testimony of what and how miracles work in the New Testament, needs to be compared with what is being claimed today.
A baby born- is a regular event, in the normal course of actions. It can be called God guided.. because of what it takes for a baby to be conceived.. but an actual biblical miracle? Does it meet the definition?
Healing over time-- is that a biblical miracle? Again, God guided.. God 'tipping the scales' in favour of healing. But a miracle?
I know I don't agree with you on baptism.. but I think we are on the same page of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Couldn't agree more , its all in Gods appointed time being led to it by the Holy Spirit.
Far be it from me to say what God will or won't do....
But the prophesied "age of the year of the Lord's favor" has ended.
Meaning the time of publicly and widely seen "miracles" has ended. There are NONE to be viewed on a stage for everyone to see.
Except for one.
Scriptures are still a widely and commonly viewed miracle that is under constant attack.

Your meme could be an atheist response to the claims of cessationists that miracles were for the first century and the time prior to it.

If we accept the teachings of the scriptures, then God has empowered people to do miracles, many great miracles have been done, and the Spirit distributes the gift of the working of miracles as He wills. We should accept that much whether we see a miracle or not. Remember Thomas' attitude.
If so, then He is no longer the same, yesterday, today and forever, that would mean He is a liar who can't take care of His own Scripture.
Can't be true.
Has anyone looked into Jane Leads writings?
Jane Lead - William Branham Historical Research https://share.google/UTiXUyqoRkBqadKtI
Historically traced, much of the Hyper Charasmatic church is influenced by her teachings, especially the NAR. These influences affect ideas including miracles and such, which is why I post this here
I'll paraphrase some of what she prophesied:
That there will be a total renewal by which the true church will shine by operating in signs and wonders,
Man made religion will be brought down, and the Holy Spirit will individually teach each true faithed Christian in Gods ways.
This will be the seal that separates the sheep/goats. The true church will operate in the Spirit.
She has a belief as well that the giftings though they had fallen away, would make a resurgence and would be the mark of a true believer.
The problem I see with her is that she got all of these propheys from "Gods wife" who's name is Sophia, she being the goddess of wisdom.
Wouldn't this imply that miracles/signs and wonders had ceased around the 1600's?
Also if the giftings needed a resurgence wouldnt that had meant they weren't being practiced?
I believe that the Holy Spirt still works today, and that miracles are possible and do happen. I also believe that the Holy spirit can and does give giftings.
I just also wonder what significance church history may have, like why were people not operating in these things and why did it take a pagan woman to shape the history of the Charasmatic movement? Which in essense brought much of the modern day sighns, wonders, prophesy/practices of giftings and what not.
How should we interpret the Bible? I do not always have the answer for this as we can all be lead stray by our own wants and desires. I thank God that he doesnt let us fall too far away. Context obviously is the main importance, but how much of history should shape our views?
Anyway, please if im wrong correct me. Also feel free to look for yourself regarding her writings, and the history leading up to the latter rain movment, early pentacostalism, and the other main charasmatic groups. and tell me what you find!
