Christianity EtcRe: Why I Left Atheism By John N. Clayton by Ranchhoddas: 1:18am On Dec 01, 2016
darbeelicous:
I've being a silent follower in these christain and atheists thread recently.
I've always opined that atheists are those who are afraid in one way or the other to dedicate their lives and be totally committed in a supreme being........ So they choose to live free.

A valid opinion which might hold for a lot of people but don't you think that it's a rather rash generalization?

Writing styles like our handwritings are unique to a very large extent. I believe there was someone else using that monicker that day as some of the posts were very different from the norm. In fact it got me confused at a point.

The way of God isn't the way of man. You exoected to see miraculous changes in your life immediately but everything works according to God's timing.

Usually when people fall that way it is as a result of the light of God dispelling evil forces from their lives. For every sin you commit, you attract demons into your life and give them a legal ground in your life. Meaning that demons feed on sin. What happened that day was the start of your deliverance. You see during biblical times the power of God was heavy on his prophets and miracles occurred instantaneously but such power is rare today among pastors/prophets though it still exists. But believe me, something happened in your life that day which you have no knowledge of since you obviously lack insight of the spiritual. When the holy spirit impacts, he doesn't do so for nothing.

If you read the account of urhem.e here on NL, you'd recall that the holy spirit kept sweeping him off his feet and he felt those mild electric shocks multiple times and in the end he saw positive results in real life as he bacame healed of an ailment. These are real life experiences that happens to Christians which you atheists debunk repeatedly here not knowing that it has happened to you before.
Hmm...

Ranchhoddas you were not exposed to any form of electricity yet you felt a mild form of electric shock which swept off your feet and landed you on the ground while prayer was going on.

You should have asked yourself pertinent questions like, "why did I fall"? "What power was behind that mild electric shock"? What you felt that day defies science because according to my knowledge, people don't just get random electric shocks out of the blue.

[b]You my dear felt the power of the holy spirit whether you like it or not. [/b]If that wasn't the holy spirit then what was it? Don't even tell me it was your mind.
To what end?

You who don't believe God exists have about 11 of your threads on the first page of the religious section and they are all about the christian "GOD" who "apparently" doesn't exist. Why do you lose sleep over an inexistent being sire?

Are you that jobless? Can't you get busy and productive with your energy? If you could channel all the energy you're wasting here to PHCN Nigeria would have constant light.

Come to God with humility and simplicity of heart. You cannot come to one you want to learn from with the mindset that you already know!

Take him as your lord and saviour and then ask for the Holy spirit just like a dry land thirsts for rain.

The more you desire God the closer you get and the closer you get the more he reveals mysteries to you. Its not rocket science really. Its all in two words, FAITH AND DESIRE.

You were deaf to the action in the utterance of the Word. The spiritual power in it was not revealed to your spirit. You were only seeing the Pastor preaching and assessed him based on the words he spoke but did not open yourself up to the action in the Word.

2nd Cor 3: 6

He has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
How do you become 'undeaf'?

naijadeyhia:
You did not dare anyone to say anything different. You were deaf to the Rhema in the word. Your spirit was not alive to it. You just wanted so literal expose but the words of God are spirit and its your spirit man that appreciates it and not your brain.
What does this mean exactly?

You thought you could preempt God and began to determine what you wanted to hear or not .

2nd Timothy 4: 3

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
I did not. I always dared them to say something I'd not heard before. They never could. It was the same thing.

Your usual busy mind became skeptical. So you feel nairaland now holds the answers for you and such reservations should be told to fellows with same reservations who had no solution to offer.
I knew the Christian perspective, I had gone to church all my life and I knew practically everything a preacher was going to say to me before he/she even said it. So it was only sensible that I looked elsewhere for answers. I got them on the internet (some of them at least).

Yet you said there are no spirits. You needed to see them to believe they exist.

One thing with the Holy Spirit is that, he doesnt force. He gives you an invite, just like he did. When you got the invite, what did you to?

Says 'Behold i stand by the door and knock, if you open the door, i will come in and sub with you'. But if you refuse? Will he break your door? No sir. He will simply leave you alone.
Show me where I said there are no spirits.

Why did you stop? What do you mean by the rest is History?
Skepticism happened. After a while the euphoria of salvation wore off. I did not the see the point anymore. I kept my doubts to myself but when I discovered nairaland, I saw that there were many people like me. It became easy to express my reservations about the whole thing.

Raw Unbridled desire. You cannot desire the Holy spirit and still be afraid of him. Fear and doubt work hand in hand. He is loving and given as a helper.

What was your experience.
After giving my life to Christ a week earlier, we were asked to come out for the impartation of the Holy Spirit with the manifestation of tongues. Someone laid hands on me and I fell backwards. I think I was one of the few people that reacted that way. The guy told me that whenever I got the urge I should just speak away. I did... The rest is history.

That person was edifying HIMSELF or HERSELF and its actually part of what speaking in tongues does (if Genuine).

Regarding your BLW experience my advice is ....Go get Baptized in the Holy Ghost and it will all become clear to you.
How does this happen? Laying of hands? I had an experience once
Christianity EtcRe: Scientific Study Of Speaking In Tongues by Ranchhoddas: 7:36pm On Nov 29, 2016

Firstly your expectation was wrong. You were trying to condition the Holy Spirit which can never happen. He is boss and not you.

You got to campus and then drew a conclusion because of the people you saw who were speaking in tongues as if they are the standard set by the Holy Spirit.

On both counts you got it wrong
What other conclusion was I draw? You'd be walking on the road and someone would walk part you speaking in tongues. I went to BLW one day and the pastor came on the pulpit and told everyone to begin to speak in tongues and on cue everyone started to speak. It was frightening.

Did you see any electrical appliance with the one who prayed for you?

The reason why a lot of people say God is not real is likened to your narration here. You came to Church, were prayed for and after it you went expecting a Miracle...Under what Conditions?

Jesus Gave a parable of the Sower and how some seeds fell among thorns and by the way side and then on good soil. In order to receive and have an expectation come to pass you need to be A GOOD SOIL.

Some come as they are just to see if God would do it without any effort from them to purify their heart and when God does not do what they desire they turn around to blame God and conveniently forgetting that Sin and God do not mix.

God can only break this protocol if it is absolutely your time for liberation and often times if he has bigger plans for you just like in the case of Urheme.
I did not go to church expecting anything. It was just a regular service for me. I always thought that something spectacular happened to people who fell down so I was expecting something spectacular. It was the same way I considered speaking in tongues special and sacred till I entered the University and saw every Tom, Paul and Harry speaking in tongues. It was a rude shock.

Thank you very much for that reply. But may I ask another question... Where you exposed to any form of electrical appliance or wires hence the shock?
Why are you asking me this?

Lol... I'm not at war with anyone. So can you explain what happened that led to your fall?
I don't know exactly. I felt something like a mild electric jolt and my legs weakened. Na so I come stagger fall for ground like drunkard. I got up, dusted myself and went home expecting a miracle...

naijadeyhia:
No its just the way they are. Same way some eat more food than others consistently. All in all there is a reaction inwardly which shows outwardly.
So it's a reaction and nothing else. The pastors are usually shouting 'receive it! receive it!' so I always assumed that the 'fallers' were receiving something until I started falling and did not receive anything. I started getting suspicious.
Christianity EtcRe: Scientific Study Of Speaking In Tongues by Ranchhoddas: 2:52pm On Nov 29, 2016

What fell you down? You were hypotised too? If yes, prove it scientifically.
I did not mention hypnotism. Not everyone is at war with you so you can stop reading meanings into my post.
Christianity EtcRe: Scientific Study Of Speaking In Tongues by Ranchhoddas: 2:48pm On Nov 29, 2016
naijadeyhia:
The Point is not the falling. The point is the cause of it. Did anyone push you down? it wasnt your physical body actually falling. It was your physical body responding to the reaction from your spirit in the presence of the holy spirit.

The point is for you to know that there is one that is greater than you and whom you need and it is meant to make you desire to know him. Its not a show its an invitation
Some people appear to be more receptive to this anointing than others i.e they are consistent 'fallers'. Does this mean they are getting more invites?
Christianity EtcRe: Scientific Study Of Speaking In Tongues by Ranchhoddas: 2:33pm On Nov 29, 2016
naijadeyhia:
So who pushed you down when you fell? Was it aided or unaided and did you wound yourself when you did?
I have also fallen under the anointing more than once in different places. What exactly is the point of it? You just fall and get up and life goes on.
