FOLLOWING JESUS

Many Christians may think they are following Jesus but are they doing what He did?

Healing the sick?

Casting out demons?

Raising the dead?

Calming the storm?

Multiplying food?

Changing water into wine?

Yes, I'm raising the dead, Hal....

No, of course I'm not. But, I don't think that means I'm not following Jesus. Perhaps it means I haven't got faith the size of a mustard seed -- which means I haven't got faith -- it's not the amount of faith, it's just do I have faith? And is it my fault if I don't have faith? I want to have faith... I ask for faith, but I'm not a miracle worker, which, like I said, perhaps translates to I don't have faith.

My double-mindedness, my selfness, get in the way. I don't want them to get in the way, but there it is. What to do? Hmmmm....

When the time is ripe I believe we will see a proliferation of these things, just like in the time of Christ.

I've learned that we can be healed by God we ask and believe in the name of Jesus!!!! We follow the plan that the bible gives us!!!

I think at times many people go through thoughts like why doesn't God heal someone now!!!! Why don't we recieve financial blessings now!!! I know I get this in my head and have to ask God Why? Maybe I should just stop asking why????? I believe every word in the bible and I want to see God heal people and bless people and that includes me!!!!

One time I did CPR on a young lady who had hanged herself. She started breathing on her own . She died a day later from brain damage. She was raised from the dead? Do you think she is in heaven? Thanks

If she was dead do you think cpr would work?

I do not believe a botn again Christian who commits suicie is therefor lost.

At the time I was doing the CPR I was also calling on the Lord to bring her back to life!!! I have told her mother that she did not die from suicide but from the brain damage, do you think this is correct? thank you!!!

All these things that we are suppesed to do in Jesus name are things that people need in this life. I believe that God wants us to do these things for people, so we need to get busy!!!!

Since it is y understencing that suicide is not an unforgiveable sin she is not lost
