Sounds like I’ve, by His Grace, managed to travel MUCH further toward that goal than you have.
WHEN you have done more on that score, I MAY entertain such questions more cooperatively.
Perhaps you’ve read about the plank vs splinter Scripture.
But to answer your question anyway—because I’ve not been willing to pay the price for that level of anointing.
And your reason?
Thats a neat trick of judging something that you really have no idea of, except a substantial arrogance.
Speaking of Scripture, maybe you are familiar with the following:
Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
Be very careful of making judgments from a puffed up position.
WHEN you have done more on that score, I MAY entertain such questions more cooperatively.
You have no idea what I have done, so to make that assumption is foolhardy.

Yes, I'm very familiar with it, are you?
Asking you if you have lived up to the "mandate" you claim Scripture gives(which by the way that Mark passage you cited is a disputed text anyway, the best and oldest texts we have do not include it, it being most likely an addition by a later redactor--but that is another debate entirely), is not what Matthew 7 is addressing. You have made the assertion that all those who follow Christ are mandated to perform greater miracles than Christ did, therefore, your claim is open for testing, which is what I have done.
But to answer your question anyway—because I’ve not been willing to pay the price for that level of anointing.
Why not? You assert that all those who follow Christ are mandated to perform greater miracles than Christ did, yet you do not.
What is this "price" you think has to be paid? Four years at Kenneth Hagin's school for the gullible?
