I agree - if you check out my blogs you can see that is exactly what we are doing. We are praying for the sick and they are being healed! I guess it makes me so excited when I see people coming to worship and coming to Jesus !! Marlene
your doc would say sleep paralysis.
spiritually, you might have had a hightened since of awareness, many people already have these spirits crawling around them, behind, them, in them.
do a search for "fullness" on bible gateway and focus on being so full of Jesus nothing else can fit.
Yesterday morining as I was about to wake up, I felt something try to enter into my mouth. It was sying something that I did not understand in a wispery way. I got really scared and said the lord's prayer in my head and it stopped. Something not audible, but more of a feeling told me to get up after it stopped. I didn't wake up for I was already awake at that point, but my body unparilized. I was shaking afterwards. I don't know what to make of it, but I was drifting away from the Lord and my heart was becoming spiritually dead until that experience. Yesterday I renewed my faith and asked God to keep that from happening again. I don't know if a demon was trying to posses me or if I have some weird sleep disorder. What do you think?
Just pray for each other then, otherwise you make the church in florida and todd bentley and idol. The prayer or a righteous man avails much. Jesus said pray believing that you receive it.
tjpetersen: (1) How could praying in tongues be a private prayer language if it is to be interpreted
answer: in public setting, it needs to be interpreted, private situation is different and simply part of the God-you relationship, God may give you the interpretation if that is his will.
tjpetersen: (2) How could praying in tongues be for self-edification?
answer: 1 Corinthians 14:4 says so
(3) How can praying in tongues be a private prayer language if tongues is a �sign to unbelievers
you are taking this verse to be an all encompassing context regarding tongues since you do not allow it to be a private experience as described in 1 corinthians 14:4
1) New Testament consistently describes tongues as human language:
False. there are angelic tongues also 1 corinthians 13
2) prayers get answered anyway
not the point, the point is praying the perfect will of God, whether it be in your own native tongue, or whatever tongue the holy spirit desires to speak through you at any give time, whether that be at home alone, or in a public setting. How do you know it's god? test the spirits as outlined in the bible (Jesus has come in the flesh, etc. and so on), keep yourself cleaned out, repent from sin continually, give your self over to God completely and so on.
texnartist: yes mormons have messed up theology, but if you put all the denominations list of beliefs under a biblical microscope you will find that they are all wrong in some area. Like the Israelites in the old testemant, we have the tendency to drift away from true theology in Christ/God.
folks, you need to weigh things in perspective. He said "way of the master" scripts are not the "way of the master" Jesus didn't stick to a script, but was guided by the father through the spirit, then that is the what we should emulate. Now, if you aren't being influenced by God, then go pray and repent. How much time to you truly spend with God on a daily basis? 5 minutes? 10, 15? if that is you, We'll, then, it's no wonder you aren't being guided by the spirit and you need to follow a script rather blindly. Yes, the way of the master script is better than nothing, yes, the word does not return void, but the wotm script is getting abused and someone had to say it.
every denomination falls short of God's glory, we are playing church here in Western Christianity and we need to repent of "playing church" take the gospel to the streets, cloth the naked, feed the hungry, take up the cause of the widow and the downtrodden, send out more missionaries to the poor of the world and stop worrying so much about our buildings, programs, and body counts. People are dying, it's time for the "body of christ" to rise from it's grave on this third day as Christ rose from the grave.
