Great Stories!. Very encouraging.... Love it. Praise Jesus! My Own Brother had Brain tumors. He was at Duke Medical. He was so exhausted and frustrated by the “chemo’ he fell off the table. He was alone he could not carry himself. He stayed there awhile just hurt for awhile. He finally cried out. A man just came in scooped him up like nothing. The gentleman put him on the table. He stayed and prayed with him. Then my brother had a great spiritual peace. The gentleman told him his name. Later when his wife found out she wanted to Thank the man. He was in the hospital outfit. Nobody but nobody knew him from records or personal encounters. God comforts in our suffering. Praise Jesus! AMEN.
Really?? I had no idea that other ministers use Holy Oil to Annoint.....which denominations do this???
As Hebrews says, “we entertain angels unawere.”
Yes, it is a tradition to have the holy oils blessed at a special mass for the priests during Holy Week and often presented at the parishes either at the Holy Thursday mass or on Holy Saturday at the special vigil service/mass for Easter.
That is the special mass heild during Holy Week for the priests, deacons to get the consecrated oils for the parishes each year and to renew vows of ordination.
Free will. Another gift from God. Fabulous photos on your profile. Really beautiful work.
Praying for your husband Don. May the Lord wrap him in his comforting arms, and you as well.

“...priest to prevent the DWI...”
Every man is possessed of free will and an individual conscience. The mystery of iniquity is such that God allows “evil” so man can have choice. Ultimately man is the the one who brought the evil into this fallen world (Eve),through the choice of disobeying God. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and everyone is free to choose evil.
The original state of this world as created by God was a state of perfect justice and evil and imperfections did not exist in the perfection of created order. Free will damaged the state of perfect justice, and satan now has an influence on this world.
Otherwise we would have been ants or robots, without the ability to reason. Our ability to choose and reason is what makes us “in God’s image”.
Thank you so much!! God bless you and yours.
Why would this be surprising to anyone, it's a scripturally valid thing to do? I was attending a non-denominational church when I first started suffering severe back problems. My pastor and assistant pastor came to my home and prayed over me anointing me with oil - just like the Bible says to. It isn't a "Catholic-only" kind of thing.
How about a woman after giving money while I was working I get a beep on my work scanner then look up and they disappear. It was a nanosecond. I told them I give in the name of Jesus. I gave her 5 dollars. Then later when I scratch my lotto ticket I win 5 dollars. Give and it shall be given indeed. lol
