as a real disciple’s life is modeled after Christ, not some awkward hybrid of worldly living combined with a slightly higher moral conscience! Then the sign will follow how many church today are actually seeing miracles how many street pastors and Christians this the Church is not within the 4 walls just hoping for the unbelievers to come in we are to go out unto them unto the high ways and byways to compel them to come in Peter and Paul to mighty disciples not counting the rest of the disciples and the amazing miracles that is handed down for us if we would come out of the world be not afraid to do what God says. Pray for me I need I want to to do these things ...
1Co 2:4 kjva And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Do what things? Paul looking at one after He preached, percieving He had faith to be Healed, saying rise and walk.
Paul was not preaching that God is mysterious, and you just never know what God might do. God sometimes heals, and sometimes, not. After all God answers prayer yes no or maybe.
That causes no faith in anyone to be healed.
Even the disciples asking, Why can't we cast him out, Jesus saying, because of your unbelief. Even the best in the World failed when it came to Miracles by faith. This was after Jesus personally gave them the power and authority to do so. The Power was ON, their faith was not. I guess a bigger and more scary devil made them doubt as the boy cast himself into the fire and was acting very strange.
If you want to be used by God in this area, then study to show yourself approved. Paul said Miracles come by hearing of faith. (Gal 3:5) You must have a foundation and be convinced fully it's God's will to set people free of all maner of things.
Many on this forum have lots of knowledge, but deny any power connected to that knowledge. A Gospel with no power.
If you stick to teaching the Word of faith, that is in our mouth. (Rom 10:8)
The Word will be comfirmed with signs following.
One girl coming up after giving her life to the Lord asking me. Will God heal me. (She was going in for surgery that Monday)
She confessed Jesus as Lord, I said God will heal you right now.
Now as a minister, I will tell you what was in my mind when I said that.
She just gave her life to Jesus. She don't know God, and figures God just might be able to help her. IN my mind she is a Daughter of the most High, but most important she is the seed of Abraham now.
Jesus saying, Ought not this daughter of Abraham be healed on the Sabbath? God made promise to Abraham and his seed for eternity, a everlasting covenant that He will not break.
I have the Word of God, His Promise, His covenant to back up me laying hands on this girl. There is no doubt, no what if it don't work. I have God's word on this, that this girl is now the seed of Abraham, and the devil has no right to afflict her anymore.
I said devil, In the name of Jesus. You get your hands off God's daughter, be healed.
She was healed instantly. (Not all healing is instant, in this case it was)
her parents came to my house to show me the medical reports, they were not at the service, but so thankful and amazed they just had to find out where I lived.
I healed nobody, but I know how many ways the devil will came at me and say what God said is not so. I have a foundation though. I have a reason we are the healed. It's not based on what I think or said. It's based on what the creator of the universe said, and that trumps everything, man can say, the evil report can say, and what any devil can say.
Be blessed.
Luk 13:16 kjva
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Gal 3:29 kjva And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
