I'm a bit loathe to wade into such again. However, The Lord HAS brought to my awareness a couple of things this past week that kind of goad me into posting. I'm MORE loathe to allow Holy Spirit to go unrepresented on such scores on FR after the recent thrashing His works received on that other locked thread.
I'm NOT interested in going around and around with the more irrationally and unBiblically harsh posters on that other thread. They will likely arrive and rant as they did on that thread. I may or may not respond with pics and gifs. I don't plan to engage them with yet more futile words.
And, the chronically, habitually, generally carpy naysayers can just go suck rock candy or lolly pops. Their reaping is already scheduled. If they want to earn more of such from The Lord, that's their business.
I know the authenticity of Holy Spirit's gifts and workings in my own life. I have to be responsible to His interactions with me and leadings of me in my own life. And, as I feel led, to speak up in behalf of His gifts in this era.
I don't feel responsible to try and bore a hole and pour it in. And, I am not inclined to get two bricks and try and make the camel drink water. Doesn't work with women anyway.
That said . . .
I learned this week that the wife of a close relative of mine was miraculously healed in a Kenneth Copeland service. She had a serious case of . . . [serious]. . . cancer in advanced stages and was not expected to live. Her blood count was 5 but I don't know what aspect of her blood count was 5. Maybe I'll find out and post it later.
My relative had escorted her to the front row where she sat, unable to stand and looking like 'death warmed over' in extreme weakness.
Kenneth instructed his wife Gloria to go down and lay hands on her. She was immediately and totally healed. She went to the Doc for an already scheduled appointment the next day. He said there was no sign of cancer anywhere in her body and that he was dumfounded as he was never wrong.
As I understand it, the medical verification documentation is quite conclusive. She may even publish it all in her own narrative in due course. I'm not inclined to give more info for my privacy.
I think I learned that this last Tuesday evening.
Last Wednesday evening at church, Pastor related the following narrative.
She had been on a mission trip to Guatemala. In one of their gatherings in one of the poorest churches--a ramshackle tin building affair . . . a local church member began to give a message in tongues. This person had never learned English at all.
The woman spoke quite clear English and told of how God was going to give them a newer larger building much better for their church.
The woman had no idea what she had said. When Pastor's team told her what she'd said, she broke down almost in convulsions for joy and in humility over the Lord using her so to bring such a longed for message to her congregation. As I understand it, that did then transpire exactly as she'd declared in a language she did not know.
On the same mission trip, they went to a very wealthy church led by a Pastor who lived in a wealthy home with marble walls etc. Pastor visited the man's opulent home.
Holy Spirit spoke to Pastor and told her that the man was having an affair with his secretary and that Pastor must confront him and call him to repentance. Pastor has a very powerful prophetic gifting though is not per se a prophet.
Pastor told their local tour guide who was in personal relationship with all the pastors of the churches they visited--including this wealthy one. She replied to Pastor: "You'd better be right!"
Pastor confronted him and he admitted it. He did not repent but justified it with sleezey rationalizing that he was 'supposed to love the sheep.'
I felt when Pastor related the story that the man has since, rather soon after that, died but I haven't verified that even with Pastor. She may not know.
I’m neither of those.
I’m your conscience, rebelling against false doctrines, arrogant attitudes when people don’t buy your B.S. on the spot, when you mention UFOs and try to denigrate folks who, again, don’t buy your B.S.
I do this because it is obvious that your God given conscience has long since left the building.
Finally, it is rich to hear someone like you complaining about people who don’t believe your posts or they believe and they don’t glorify you, you define the word, martinet.
PRAISE GOD.
I’ve long thought that
GOD could EASILY do it EITHER WAY and probably did use both phenomena—speaking a language not learned AND hearers hearing their own language from a language they hadn’t learned.
I think I’m going to start compiling these examples from FREEPERS in a Word doc.
ANYONE personally experiencing or personally knowing of reliable reports, please let me know.
BTW, Thanks tons for your kind words. It’s a mucky swamp full of quicksand. Alas, no one else seems to want to hotch scotch across the backs of the alligators.
And, Holy Spirit and the spiritual truths involved ARE worth it.
You were pushy there, if no one believed you'd trot out how many years you've spent on the 'subject', then you would get blustery.
Is it because it destroys your credibility on this thread? Don't don't get too excited, you don't have any credibility with me.

You are welcome to see my close relatives as liars if you wish.
Sounds like she may be about to publish a book with the medical documentation.
If you’ve never met an arrogant doctor utterly convinced of his own brilliance, CONGRATS, you’ve led a ‘charmed’ life.
HE wants everyone to come to HIM.
And, yes, a BIG AMEN to God works in ways we do not understand.
INDEED.
The death grip on bitterness, resentment, vendettas against perceived and/or real slights and insults from evidently years and years ago as well as however recent . . . seems to be thicker than ice on the North Slope in January.
And yet we’re supposed to kowtow, kiss toes, smile submissively etc. to the poison spewed from all that bitterness, resentment and vendetta mentality stuff.
Not planning to comply on my watch.
What the heck? Is he a Mormon?
Copeland right out denies the deity of Christ here. That makes him a false prophet, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Bad move, it strips Christianity of its foundation and as Paul said, if Christ never rose from the dead, then we Christians are most foolish. So who is Copeland building his Church on sand on, himself?
In Genesis, God revers to 'our' when describing creation. Some have said he was talking about angels but it makes more sense he was describing Jesus Christ. After all, God is a triune God which means three in one for the Godhead, God himself, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I see Copeland's name on shows as I go through the channel listing. Never had an urge to watch it.
Mine either, I'm too busy laughing.
Are you going around actually checking posts? Check this person out, check this post - who responded, who didn't. Busy, busy, busy doing the Lord's work. LOL!!
Ugh! I'm glad I don't have this type in my church.
As Quix braves the mucky swamp full of quicksand, hop scotching across the backs of alligators(post 342), the air is full of the spewed poison of bitterness, resentment and vendetta mentality “stuff”. “Onward, ONWARD”, he shouts. “To the North Slope of ice and certain/perceived slights and insults. This parable of great price shall stand in testament to the “confused”. And in victory to the ‘informed’. Let he who has eyes hear”....
What’s wrong with that? He went to be with The Lord. I sure hope they didn’t stop rejoicing - or it’s only for healing?
Unless it's a cat thread or the photos posted are related to the thread or the post, then posting pictures is a cowardly cop out.
You don't want to write anything because you know I have your number.
Please stop
with the attempts
To appear
witty
By posting
using this method.
Pretentious
it makes you.
It's always fascinating to observe the TYPES OF FOLKS
who seem to be convinced that
I'm INTERESTED in credibility with them!
Yeah, I was thinking of that myself. I think some prefer the ‘badge’ instead of the ‘scroll on by’ button.
AMEN!! The JOY OF THE LORD.
Now now.
It may be unkind to expect folks to use the scroll by button . . .
when . . . they . . . uhhh . . . welll . . .
You are right. I’m thinking they would think/do like me and ....scroll on by.
There I go comparing others with myself. Bad freeper!! Twenty lashes with a wet noodle OR someone will take me to task on it. LOL!!!!!
