SAD BUT TRUE

As many pastors have learned, preach conviction and they risk eviction.
Tickle there ears and he will have no fears.

But if he wants them to respond he could preach on their need to change. And they would change -- churches.

TEST OF OBEDIENCE

Letting go and letting God requires being willing to change -- give up control.
It means making Jesus our Lord.

HOW TO MAKE sATAN GRIN

Ignore celebrating Pentecost Sunday

HOW TO MAKE sATAN GRIN

Ignore what Jesus directs in Luke 11:9-13

SO

Evangelism plus pteaching will add to the church.

Evangelism plus preacing plus God's signs and wonders will multipy the chuch.

TRUE OR FALSE?

Our unbeleif may be due to the fear that believing would mandate a commitmen we do nt want to make.

THOUGHT

Although the Bible has much to say about casting out demons, it is rerely, iF ever, even mentioned in sermons or Bible classes. Which makes the Devil smile.

A QUESTION

Why do some churches prefer to spend millions on a larger sanctuary to avoid the inconvenience of more services?

A THOUGHT

When confronted with a specif Scriptural directive, I find it is often homogenized with less specic Scritures from which we can extact an interpretation that fits our presuppositions.

A QUESTION

I understand the reason seminary students learn Hebrew and Greek is so they can do their own exegesis. But iosn't it really the exegesis of the one who wrote the dictionaries they use?

A QUESTION

Bible study is helpful in learning what God wants to do for us. It is also helpful in finding out what God wants us to do for Hm but are we realy interested?

Luke 10:2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

GOD'S LOVE UNCONDITIONAL?

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

sO WHAT ABOUT LUKE 11: 9-13?

BIBLICAL PROOF TEXT?

To the extent that proof, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder, is there eny such thing as a biblical proof text?

IS BECOMING CHARISMATIC AN ORDER?

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
This says to me that, as childrem of God, we "have" the salvation measure of the Holy Spirit
In Luke 11:9-13 it says that we, as spirit-filled children of God, are to ask, seeek, and knock to receive the Holy Spirit from our Heavenly Father.
To me, this must be something more - the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
To me, it is an order.
Also, acts 1:8 was an order to the early church.
am I wrong?

A NICE COMPLIMENT

Hello Again!

Thank you so much for the link to your blog! I absolutely love it!!! You are a real blessing! Thank you so much!

Have a wonderful blessed day!!!

A MIIRACLE OR NOT?

Hal-
Here is my healing testimony for you to post on your website.
Stephen was 13 when he was struck by a car in Coronado, CA. The car, turning right at a stop light and not seeing pedestrians ran stephen over. Stephen fractured his left foot, sprained his knee, back and neck. After over a year of rehab Stephen was healed through medical doctors. X-Rays showed in 2004 that Stephen had developed a severe case of Arthritis inside of his left foot. Doctors managed to remove all of the affected bone.
When Stephen turned 19 in 2007, years after the accident his neck & back pain returned with more pain than ever before. Doctors tried multiple forms of medication, rehab, treatment and possible surgery. During that time in late 2007 Stephen developed a painful form of TMJD (Temporo mandibular joint disorder). With all of the pain together, the only explanation was through Stephen's body growing to fit his body type of an Adult Male, all the pain from the car accident had never been shown through X-Rays or through any pain fully, until Stephen turned 20 years old. At times Stephen could not exceed limited athletic activity. Have a locked jaw many times in one day and not be able to turn his head in multiple longitudes.
Unable to pay the medical bills that would come with more Rehab and Surgeries. Stephen was working at the time, and still is to this day, St. Pauls United Methodist Church in Coronado, CA. Through working in the youth program Stephen was introduced to Hal Weeks. In a group setting, Stephen attended Hal's famous "Healing and Prayer Class" on Wednesday Nights.
Upon prayer on Stephen, the pain went away. Stephen fell to the ground upon power of the holy spirit. When Stephen awoke he was pain free and could move in directions with his body he could never before. The Holy Spirit also blessed Stephen with the ability to speak in tongues.
Today in 2009. Stephen is still living and working strong for the Lord, working within Ministry and has been pain free since. The words, "Thank You Jesus" is the only medicine needed.

PREACHING VS TEACHING

http://bibleforums.org/forum/showthread.php?t=111311

A THOUGHT

Bible studens that do not include spiritual warrfare may have the sword of the Spirit but are powerless to wieeld it.

DID YOU KNOW?

Jesus regularly pointed to the signs and wonders as the proof of His claim to being the Son of God.
As His represntives today they are available t o us, in HI name, for the same purpose.

SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Luke 11:9-13 Is an order given by Jesus to the spirit-filled children of God to ask, seek, and knock until they receive the additional power of the Holy Spirit. See John 7:37-39.

The choice not to do so is only available to the disobedient.

YOUR DENOMIONATION LOSING MEMBERS?

Try Luke 11:9-13

AN INSULT?

To not obey Luke 11:9-13 iS to deny that which Jesus died for!

JOHN CHAPTER 16
1 ¶ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 ¶ A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

THE BIG QUESTION

In the early church signs and wonders were commonplace.
So why are they so out of place in so many of the presI day churches today?

I would be blessed by your comments

MORE ON SPEAKING IN TONGUES

http://www.jimfeeney.org/speakingintongues.html

HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM

I have observed that there is a practice of using the the prepositions in, with, of, and by interchangeably when referring to the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Since they all have different meanings they cannot all be correct. Since baptize means to immerse, "in' would seem to be the correct choice. The use of"by is the most misleading, since it refers to a different baptism.
5 Romans 6:3
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
6 1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

LUKE 11:9-13 GIVES US OUR MARCHING ORDERS!

THE ULTIMATE BAILOUT

12 Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

GOD'S ECONOMY

In God's economy the coin of the realm is His supernatural,
And it is available to His obedient sons and daughters.
Luke 11:9-13

DD YOU AGREE?

Studying the Bible is doing for ourselves.
Doing what is says is doing for God.
Not doing what it says is disobeying God.
If we are not applying what we read, it doesn't matter if we read it or not.

tHE GREAT OMISSION?

when a denomination's leadership avoids the supernatural and
their seminaries avoid the supernatural, and turn out ministers who do the
same, Is it any wonder their church limit themselves in carrying out the
great commission?
Don' they know they are denying very power that launched the early church. Is it any wonder they are losing members?

AN ANNOUNNCEMENT

It took a bit of doing but today I arrived at my 96th birthday.
Tne secret; it was done one day at a time.

A THOUGHT

If your Bible is a menu you are holding out on God.

A THOUGHT

Bible study without do is like clouds without rain.

TRUE OR FALSE?

No minister dares ever preach on sin or all the sinners would leave. It would not bring conviction but eviction.

PROOF TEXT?

II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 4
1 ¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 9 ¶ Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 16 ¶ At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

BIBLICAL JUDGMENTS

Since the Bible does not provide a pablum rendition of judgment it is not a suitable subject for a sermon in a comfort zone, I 'm OK, your OK and that is OK with God, church.
And it is not the fault of the minister!

That ever sine the birth of the church, God has found it necessary to send revival to rekindle the supernatural fire of the Holy Spirit testifies to its tendency to become apathe kn keeping it burning.
