I don't know how anyone can truly live the victorious Christian life WITHOUT the Holy Spirit, our guide, our teacher, our companion. I think it's impossible. It then becomes legalism, a life of does, don'ts and the inability to overcome. Just my opinion.
Oh? The Bible tells us that in the last days we will have dreams and visions. Do you doubt that we ARE in the last days? God speaks to us through scripture, visions, other Christians, dreams, any number of ways. Why put God in a box, my friend?
Thanx for including me on your list. I have always been interested in prophetic utterances and dreams. BUT we CAN negate prophecy by praying. It's happened before, when intercessors go before the Father and pray. HE waits for us to pray. We really need to do that, especially now.
Peter specifically stated that Joel's prophecy had to do with the Day of Pentecost ("this is that"). PS your name sounds familiar. I used to be BSunday.
Dear Quix, my granddaughter is going to attend a Jr. Leadership Conference in WDC over Election Day. Would you and others please pray for safety for these children while they are there and that there would be no danger to them? It's a little scary. She's only 11 and we're very proud that she's been chosen to go, but I still have a niggling feeling that we need to pray for their protection. Thanks.
This sounds like a warning not to be deceived. satan comes as an angel of light and especially in these last times there will be much deception. We need to have great discernment even about preachers and others we know. They also can come as light but turn out to be darkness. I pray for the gift of discernment.
I wonder if some of the Y2K hysteria was actually a mis-directed premonition by many people.
God has raised many prophets and apostles in these last days. There are still miracles and gifts being bestowed even now. The Holy Spirit is the same today, yesterday and even tomorrow. We don't see many miracles in America because of unbelief, but there are MANY miracles happening in Africa and other Third World places because they believe what the Bible says. They haven't grown 'fat' like we Americans.
Well, I belong to a pentecostal church and our pastors are very biblically sound men. You need to quit generalizing about other people's churches and faith experiences.
John McArthur has never liked charimatics and this book as well as others he's written are his opinion. You need to read a variety of books in order to get the entire picture, not just take one man's opinion as gospel.
Fat Americans, eh ? And you criticize ME for generalizations ??? There are no miracles today that are of the SAME charactaristics as those performed in the 1st century.
This is a good opportunity for intercessors to pray over that specific word. Many have prophesied assassination but I truly believe it can be avoided if we pray, sooo, start praying Dr.!
What does he mean about a threat against the president elect? A physical or spiritual threat? We didn't hear of a physical threat as far as I know. Very puzzling.
I believe God always warns His people, those willing to hear His voice, of impending disaster. He usually, but not always, does this through His Prophets. It's time to listen and do what He says.
Give me an example in the bible where a true prophet had a prophecy not come true. Remember that "God does not change". So the true test of a prophet is if what he says comes true. If it doesn't come true then he is a FALSE PROPHET, by biblical definition. Having a guessing success rate of 30%, which has been declared as a good success rate by pentecostal "prophets" just doesn't wash with the bible. There are NO modern day prophets !
Quix, why do you bother answering him? Neither one of you is going to change your opinion so I would just ignore what he says. You don't have to keep defending yourself, dear FRiend.
Absolutely correct!
THANKS TONS FOR ALL YOUR VERY TRUE, PERCEPTIVE, DISCERNING AND ACCURATE POSTS, which I've read in reverse order! LOL.
May get to comment on some of them before trying to get off to school early.
LUB,
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
STUBBORN BLINDNESS IS
NO EXCUSE
FOR STEALING A THREAD IN VIOLATION OF FORUM RULES.
KNOCK IT OFF.
May you reap what you have sown so vividly and so quickly that you wake up to God's truth far earlier than otherwise.
CERTAINLY!
I trust she is discerning and hears The Lord well?
I trust the leaders of her group do, as well?
