Amen. And we just read 1 Corinthians 15 which applies...but, in life, the whole BIBLE applies!!!!! Thank you God for your Holy Word!!!
For those who think retreats and concerts are just for the saved, I suggest you visit GoVictory (Kenneth Copeland ministry) and FLASHPOINT (prophetic news and commentary). Flashpoint broadcasts on Tuesday and Thursday evenings usually at 7 pm to 8 pm. Also, Sean Feucht is having concerts across America healing and baptizing many youth saved! Mario Marillo has tent venues and has had them for over a year. Check his website. Next one is in Colorado soon. Flashpoint is having a gathering early July in Atlanta to bring LIGHT to that area of Georgia needed for the ongoing revival and upcoming election!! ALL these are FREE.
I attended Flashpoint and Mario Marillo’s Tulsa prayer event in April. I am a born again Christian. The Friday venue was for healing. The line was probably nearly a mile long. Your heart would be broken to see how so many struggled to get to the arena with their illnesses strongly desiring healing. Many miracles happened and many came to the podium to receive Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior.
I am not going to judge retreats. Many Christians have never seen healings and miracles!!! So, if you don’t go, you’ll be a pew sitter. Our local church used to have healing prayer services after a Bible Study. Many left when Bible Study was over, probably over half!!! We witnessed many answered prayers. I had one miracle (vision returned from being blurred where I could not drive to better than before!!!!!). One man was cured of depression instantly! He was a member so we saw it happen and his life was changed having joy and love!!!
Sadly, many Christians do not want to engage in healing prayer, laying of hands and anointing, fasting, etc. because they feel they are incapable or do not understand The Holy Spirit- thinking we are kooks!!!
The Believer’s Authority by Kenneth Hagin is a powerful book, or was to me. IF people, even my family, allow, I will pray over them....BUT, they don’t ask and James tells us about that!!!!
We’re on the journey!!!
