FATHER AND SON TOUCHED BY THE POWER OF GOD

At one place where I was, a lame man was brought to me who had been in bed for two years, with no hope of recovery. He was brought thirty miles to the meeting, and he came up on crutches to be prayed for. His boy was also afflicted in the knees and they had four crutches between the two of them. The man's face was filled with torture. There is healing virtue in the Lord and He never fails to heal when we believe. In the name of Jesus -- that name so full of virtue -- I put my hand down that leg that was so diseased. The man threw down his crutches and all were astonished as they saw him walking up and down without aid.

The little boy called out to his father, "Papa, me; papa, me, me, me!" The little boy who was withered in both knees wanted a like touch. And the same Jesus was there to bring a real deliverance for the little captive. He was completely healed. These were legs that were touched. If God will stretch out His mighty power to loose afflicted legs, what mercy will He extend to that soul of yours that must exist forever? (Smith Wigglesworth)

AMAZING CONVERSION OF A MED-DOCTOR VIA INTERCESSION

Charles Finney began his ministry as a Presbyterian and later on became a Congregationalism He knew something about the Holy Spirit. He is known as the man who prayed down revivals.

Finney was holding a revival meeting in a certain city. The wife of one of the leading doctors of the city was a wonderful Christian woman and leader, but the doctor himself was an infidel. He would make fun of his wife. She felt that Finney, who had been a lawyer, would be able to help her husband. She kept insisting that Finney come to her house on one of his days off.

He agreed to come on a Monday for the noon meal. This doctor had a brother who was a farmer; he was a very religious man and had come to attend the meetings. This farmer brother was staying in the home with the doctor and his wife, so at the time appointed, Finney came and everyone was seated at the table. The lady asked Finney to pray; as he bowed his head, he was checked in his spirit and felt that the Lord wanted the farmer’s brother to pray. The brother began praying, when suddenly he took ahold of his stomach and started groaning.

He then jumped up from the table and ran to his bedroom. The doctor thought something was wrong with him physically, and jumped up to follow his brother. Finney followed. As Finney went into the room, the doctor was coming out to get his bag because he thought his brother had some kind of stomach cramps. Finney knew what the matter was.

He stopped the doctor, informing him that there was nothing wrong with his brother. Finney told the doctor that his brother had the spirit of travail and intercession and that he was praying for the doctor's lost soul. The doctor jerked loose from Finney and said that he did not believe it. The doctor left and Finney went into the room and kneeled down by the brother, and began to pray.

You can help lift a spiritual load just like you can a physical load. Finney said that within a few minutes he could feel the burden coming off on him. For forty-five minutes they stayed there weeping and groaning. When you do this, sometimes you feel as if your own soul is lost, but really it isn't. Because you are taking someone else's burden upon yourself, you actually feel on the inside of you, as if you are lost. Some have had this spirit of groaning and did not know what it was. It is intercession for a lost soul. If the Spirit of God comes upon you and groanings start welling up from your inner man, go ahead and groan and pray it out. Although you do not take it upon yourself to just groan in the flesh, there is a groaning of the Spirit when the Holy Spirit takes hold with you in prayer.

Finney said that after they had prayed, they started laughing. You should always pray until you have a feeling of praise. He said they rejoiced and laughed for awhile. After Finney came downstairs, he knocked on the doctor's study door. He told him that he had a word for him from his brother. The doctor opened the door and asked him how his brother was.

Finney told him that his brother had been praying for the doctor's poor lost soul. He added that they had prayed it all through and that he was just as good as saved. Finney said the doctor dropped his head and started crying. Then he fell down on his knees and was gloriously saved.

Yes, there is a prayer of intercession. Yes, there is a ministry of intercession. Do not be afraid to yield to it. (Kenneth E. Hagin)

ATMOSPHERE OF FAITH

When I was a young man I always loved the fellowship of old men, and was always careful to hear what they had to say. I had a friend, an old Baptist minister who was a wonderful preacher. I spent much of my time with him. One day he came to me and said, "My wife is dying." I said, "Brother Clark, why don't you believe God? God can raise her up if you will only believe Him." He asked me to come to his house, and I looked for someone to go with me.

I went to a certain rich man who was very zealous for God, and spent much money in opening up rescue missions, and I asked him to go with me. He said, "Never you mind me. You go yourself, but I don't take to this kind of business." Then I thought of a man who could pray by the hour. When he was on his knees he could go round the world three times and come out at the same place. I asked him to go with me and said to him, "You'll have a real chance this time. Keep at it, and quit when you're through."

(Some go on after they are through.) Brother Nichols, for that was his name, went with me and started praying. He asked the Lord to comfort the husband in his great bereavement and prayed for the orphans and a lot more on this line. I cried, "O my God, stop this man." But there was no stopping him and he went on praying and there was not a particle of faith in anything he uttered. He did stop at last, and I said, "Brother Clark, it's now your turn to pray. He started, "Lord, answer the prayer of my brother and comfort me in this great bereavement and sorrow. Prepare me to face this great trial." I cried out, "My God, stop this man." The whole atmosphere was being charged with unbelief.

I had a glass bottle full of oil and I went up to the woman and poured the whole lot on her in the name of Jesus. Suddenly Jesus appeared, standing at the foot of the bed. He smiled and vanished. The woman stood up, perfectly healed, and she is a strong woman today.

We have a big God. We have a wonderful Jesus. We have a glorious Comforter. God's canopy is over you and will cover you at all times, preserving you from evil. Under His wings shalt thou trust. The Word of God is living and powerful and in its treasures you will find eternal life. If you dare trust this wonderful Lord, this Lord of life, you will find in Him everything you need. (Smith Wigglesworth)

MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY…

When I was in the plumbing business I enjoyed praying for the sick. Urgent calls would come and I would have no time to wash, and with my hands all black I would preach to these sick ones, my heart all aglow with love. Ah, you must have your heart in the thing when you pray for the sick. You have to get right to the bottom of the cancer with a divine compassion and then you will see the gifts of the Spirit in operation. I was called at 10 o’clock one night to pray for a young person given up by the doctor who was dying of consumption. As I looked, I saw that unless God undertook it was impossible for her to live. I turned to the mother and said, “Well, Mother, you will have to go to bed.” She said, “Oh, I have not had my clothes off for three weeks.” I said to the daughters, “You will have to go to bed,” but they did not want to go. It was the same with the son. I put on my overcoat and said, “Good-bye, I’m off.”

They said, “Oh, don’t leave us.” I said, “I can do nothing here.” They said, “Oh, if you will stop, we will all go to bed.” I knew that God would move nothing in an atmosphere of mere natural sympathy and unbelief. They all went to bed and I stayed, and that was surely a time as I knelt by that bed face to face with death and with the devil. But God can change the hardest situation and make you know that He is almighty. Then the fight came. It seemed as though the heavens were brass. I prayed from 11:00 p.m. to 3:30 in the morning. I saw the glimmering light on the face of the sufferer and saw her pass away.

The devil said, “Now you are done for. You have come from Bradford and the girl has died on your hands.” I said, “It can’t be. God did not send me here for nothing. This is a time to change strength.” I remembered that passage which said, “...men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).

Death had taken place but I knew that my God was all powerful, and He that had split the Red Sea is just the same today. It was a time when I would not have “No,” and God said “Yes.” I looked at the window and at that moment the face of Jesus appeared. It seemed as though a million rays of light were coming from His face. As He looked at the one who had just passed away, the color came back to the face. She rolled over and fell asleep. Then I had a glorious time. In the morning she woke early, put on a dressing gown, and walked to the piano. She started to play and to sing a wonderful song. The mother and the sister and the brother had all come down to listen. The Lord had undertaken. A miracle had been wrought.

The Lord is calling us along this way. I am thanking God for DIFFICULT CASES. The Lord has called us into heart union with Himself; He wants His bride to have one heart and one Spirit with Him and to do what He Himself loved to do. That case had to be a miracle. The lungs were gone, they were just in shreds, but the Lord restored lungs that were perfectly sound. There is a fruit of the Spirit that must accompany the gift of healing and that is longsuffering. The man who is going through with God to be used in healing must be a man of longsuffering. He must be always ready with a word of comfort. If the sick one is in distress and helpless and does not see everything eye to eye with you, you must bear with them. Our Lord Jesus Christ was filled with compassion and lived and moved in a place of longsuffering, and we will have to get into this place if we are to help needy ones. (Smith Wigglesworth)

WHEN THAT BURDEN COMES ON YOU TO PRAY, PRAY! SOMEONE’S DEAR LIFE MAY BE ON THE LINE.

In 1956 when my wife and I were in California, I was awakened suddenly in the night. It was as if someone laid his hand on me. I sat bolt upright in bed, my heart beating rapidly. "Lord," I cried, "what is the matter? I know something is wrong somewhere. Holy Spirit in me, you know everything. You are everywhere as well as within me. Whatever this is, You give me utterance." I prayed in tongues for an hour and then began to laugh and sing in tongues. (When praying this way, always continue praying until you have a note of praise. Then you will know that whatever it is you are praying about is settled.)

I knew what I had been praying for had come to pass. I had the answer, so I went back to sleep. I dreamed that I saw my youngest brother become extremely ill in Louisiana. I saw an ambulance with lights flashing take him to the hospital. In the dream, I stood in the corridor outside his hospital room door. The door was shut. Then the doctor came out that door, pulled it shut behind him, shook my hand and said, "He is dead." "No, doctor, he is not dead," I replied. "What do you mean, he is not dead?" said the doctor "The Lord told me he would live and not die." I replied. At that the doctor became angry and said, "Come with me and I will show you that he is dead. I have pronounced too many people dead not to know when someone is dead." He took me by the arm and led me into my brother's room. He walked over to the bed and jerked the sheet back. When he did, my brother's eyes opened. The doctor saw that he was breathing. He began to stutter, "You knew something I didn't know. He is alive, isn't he?"

In the dream I saw my brother rise up from the bed, well. That was what I had been praying about. Three months later we came home to Texas. My brother came by to see me and said, "I nearly died while you were gone." I told him that I knew he'd had an attack during the night while staying in a motel in Louisiana, and had been rushed to the hospital. He thought someone had told me about it, but they had not. I told him about my burden of prayer followed by the dream. "That's exactly how it happened! They told me that for about 40 minutes at the hospital the doctor thought I was gone." (K. E. Hagin.)

RAISING LAZARUS OF WALES BACK TO LIFE

One day I went up into the mountain to pray. I had a wonderful day. It was one of the high mountains of Wales. I heard of one man going up this mountain to pray, and the Spirit of the Lord met him so wonderfully that his face shone like that of an angel when he returned. Every one in the village was talking about it. As I went up to this mountain and spent the day in the presence of the Lord, His wonderful power seemed to envelop and saturate and fill me.

Two years before this time there had come to our house two lads from Wales. They were just ordinary lads, but they became very zealous for God. They came to our mission and saw some of the works of God. They said to me, "We would not be surprised if the Lord brings you down to Wales to raise our Lazarus." They explained that the leader of their assembly was a man who had spent his days working in a tin mine and his nights preaching, and the result was that he had collapsed, gone into consumption, and for four years he had been a helpless invalid, having to be fed with a spoon.

While I was up on that mountain top I was reminded of the transfiguration scene, and I felt that the Lord's only purpose in taking us into the glory was to fit us for greater usefulness in the valley.

As I was on the mountaintop that day, the Lord said to me, "I want you to go and raise Lazarus." I told the brother who accompanied me of this, and when we got down to the valley, I wrote a postcard: "When I was up on the mountain praying today, God told me that I was to go and raise Lazarus." I addressed the postcard to the man in the place whose name had been given to me by the two lads. When we arrived at the place we went to the man to whom I had addressed the card. He looked at me and said, "Did you send this?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you think we believe in this? Here, take it." And he threw it at me.

The man called a servant and said, "Take this man and show him Lazarus." Then he said to me, "The moment you see him you will be ready to go home. Nothing will hold you." Everything he said was true from the natural viewpoint. The man was helpless. He was nothing but a mass of bones with skin stretched over them. There was no life to be seen. Everything in him spoke of decay.

I said to him, "Will you shout? You remember that at Jericho the people shouted while the walls were still up. God has like victory for you if you will only believe." But I could not get him to believe. There was not an atom of faith there. He had made up his mind not to have anything.

It is a blessed thing to learn that God's word can never fail. Never hearken to human plans. God can work mightily when you persist in believing Him in spite of discouragements from the human standpoint. When I got back to the man to whom I had sent the post-card, he asked, "Are you ready to go now?"

I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe. I know this -- no man looks at appearances if he believes.

No man considers how he feels if he believes. The man who believes God has it. Every man who comes into the Pentecostal condition can laugh at all things and believe God. There is something in the Pentecostal work that is different from anything else in the world. Somehow, in Pentecost, you know that God is a reality. Wherever the Holy Ghost has right of way, the gifts of the Spirit will be in manifestation; and where these gifts are never in manifestation, I question whether he is present. Pentecostal people are spoiled for anything else than Pentecostal meetings.

We want none of the entertainments that the churches are offering. When God comes in He entertains us Himself. Entertained by the King of kings and Lord of lords! Oh, it is wonderful. There were difficult conditions in that Welsh village, and it seemed impossible to get the people to believe. "Ready to go home?" I was asked. But a man and a woman there asked us to come and stay with them. I said, "I want to know how many of you people can pray." No one wanted to pray. I asked if I could get seven people to pray with me for the poor man's deliverance. I said to the two people who were going to entertain us, "I will count on you two, and there is my friend and myself, and we need three others." I told the people that I trusted that some of them would awaken to their privilege and come in the morning and join us in prayer for the raising of Lazarus. It will never do to give way to human opinions. If God says a thing, you are to believe it.

I told the people that I would not eat anything that night. When I got to bed it seemed as if the devil tried to place on me everything that he had placed on that poor man in the bed. When I awoke I had a cough and all the weakness of a tubercular patient. I rolled out of bed on to the floor and cried out to God to deliver me from the power of the devil. I shouted loud enough to wake everybody in the house, but nobody was disturbed. God gave victory and I got back into bed again as free as ever I was in my life. At 5 o'clock the Lord awakened me and said to me, "Don't break bread until you break it round My table." At six o'clock He gave me these words, "And I will raise him up." I put my elbow into the fellow who was sleeping with me. He said, "Ugh!" I put my elbow into him again and said, "Do you hear? The Lord says that He will raise him up." At 8 o'clock they said to me, "Have a little refreshment." But I have found prayer and fasting the greatest joy, and you will always find it so when you are led by God. When we went to the house where Lazarus lived there were eight of us altogether. No one can prove to me that God does not always answer prayer. He always does more than that. He always gives the exceedingly abundant above all we ask or think.

I shall never forget how the power of God fell on us as we went into that sick man's room. O, it was lovely! As we circled round the bed I got one brother to hold one of the sick man's hands and I held the other; and we each held the hand of the person next to us. I said, "We are not going to pray, we are just going to use the name of Jesus." We all knelt down and whispered that one word, "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" The power of God fell and then it lifted. Five times the power of God fell and then it remained. But the person who was in the bed was unmoved. Two years previous someone had come along and had tried to raise him up, and the devil had used his lack of success as a means of discouraging Lazarus. I said, "I don't care what the devil says; if God says he will raise you up it must be so. Forget everything else except what God says about Jesus."

The sixth time the power fell and the sick man's lips began moving and the tears began to fall. I said to him, "The power of God is here; it is yours to accept it." He said, "I have been bitter in my heart, and I know I have grieved the Spirit of God. Here I am helpless. I cannot lift my hands, nor even lift a spoon to my mouth." I said, "Repent, and God will hear you." He repented and cried out, "O God, let this be to Thy glory." As he said this the virtue of the Lord went right through him. I have asked the Lord to never let me tell this story except as it was, for I realize that God cannot bless exaggerations. As we again said,"Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" the bed shook, and the man shook. I said to the people that were with me, "You can all go down stairs right away. This is all God. I'm not going to assist him." I sat and watched that man get up and dress himself. We sang the doxology as he walked down the steps. I said to him, "Now tell what has happened."

It was soon noised abroad that Lazarus had been raised up and the people came from Llanelly and all the district round to see him and hear his testimony. And God brought salvation to many. This man told right out in the open air what God had done, and as a result many were convicted and converted. All this came through the name of Jesus, through faith in His name, yea, the faith that is by Him gave this sick man perfect soundness in the presence of them all. (Smith Wigglesworth)

ATMOSPHERE OF SYMPATHY & UNBELIEF

When I was in the plumbing business I enjoyed praying for the sick. Urgent calls would come and I would have no time to wash, and with my hands all black I would preach to these sick ones, my heart all aglow with love. Ah, you must have your heart in the thing when you pray for the sick. You have to get right to the bottom of the cancer with a divine compassion and then you will see the gifts of the Spirit in operation.

I was called at 10 o'clock one night to pray for a young person given up by the doctor who was dying of consumption. As I looked, I saw that unless God undertook it was impossible for her to live. I turned to the mother and said, "Well, mother, you will have to go to bed." She said, "Oh, I have not had my clothes off for three weeks." I said to the daughters, "You will have to go to bed," but they did not want to go. It was the same with the son.

I put on my overcoat and said, "Good-by, I'm off." They said, "Oh, don't leave us." I said, "I can do nothing here." They said, "Oh, if you will stop, we will all go to bed." I knew that God would move nothing in an atmosphere of mere natural sympathy and unbelief.

They all went to bed and I stayed, and that was surely a time as I knelt by that bed face to face with death and with the devil. But God can change the hardest situation and make you know that He is almighty.

Then the fight came. It seemed as though the heavens were brass. I prayed from 11 to 3:30 in the morning. I saw the glimmering light on the face of the sufferer and saw her pass away. The devil said, "Now you are done for. You have come from Bradford and the girl has died on your hands." I said, "It can't be. God did not send me here for nothing. This is a time to change strength." I remembered that passage which said, "Men ought always to pray and not to faint." Death had taken place but I knew that my God was all-powerful, and He that had split the Red Sea is just the same today. It was a time when I would not have "No," and God said, "Yes." I looked at the window and at that moment the face of Jesus appeared. It seemed as though a million rays of light were coming from His face. As He looked at the one who had just passed away, the colour came back to the face. She rolled over and fell asleep. Then I had a glorious time.

In the morning she woke early, put on a dressing gown and walked to the piano. She started to play and to sing a wonderful song. The mother and the sister and the brother had all come down to listen. The Lord had undertaken. A miracle had been wrought.

The Lord is calling us along this way. I am thanking God for difficult cases. The Lord has called us into heart union with Himself; He wants His bride to have one heart and one Spirit with Him and to do what He Himself loved to do. That case had to be a miracle. The lungs were gone, they were just in shreds, but the Lord restored lungs that were perfectly sound.

There is a fruit of the Spirit that must accompany the gift of healing and that is longsuffering. The man who is going through with God to be used in healing must be a man of longsuffering. He must be always ready with a word of comfort.

If the sick one is in distress and helpless and does not see everything eye to eye with you, you must bear with him. Our Lord Jesus Christ was filled with compassion and lived and moved in a place of longsuffering, and we will have to get into this place if we are to help needy ones. (Smith Wigglesworth)

Really?! Considering your total ignorance of Islam (except what you read on Islamophobic websites), I will pass over that. But, then, have you ever read the Bible well? If yes, you must have read these crimes of Jesus, among others:

And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly
destroyed the men, and the women, and the little
ones, of every city, we left none to remain.
Deuteronomy 2:34

And we utterly destroyed them, ... utterly destroying
the men, women, and children, of every city.
Deuteronomy 3:6

And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them
before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly
destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with
them, nor shew mercy unto them.
Deuteronomy 7:2

And thou shalt consume all the people which the
LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall
have no pity upon them.
Deuteronomy 7:16

Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city
with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and
all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the
edge of the sword.
Deuteronomy 13:15

But of the cities of these people, which the LORD
thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt
save alive nothing that breatheth.
Deuteronomy 20:16-17

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city,
both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and
sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 6:21

So smote all the country ... he left none remaining,
but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD
God of Israel commanded.
Joshua 10:40

Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... go and smite
Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and
spare them not; but slay both man and woman,
infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
1 Samuel 15:2-3

What U fail to get is that Jesus never kills anyone or encouraged killing. Those hybrids that resulted from angelic beings having sexual intercourse with humans - the result was destruction.
Besides, Jesus had not yet shared His blood. When He came, He shared His precious blood for d whole world including U. Hence, there's no more such killings.
U know Islam encourage killing of infidels - & that's one aspect I don't like about the religion. The killings over the years is enormous my brother.

PastorKun:
The worse thing that even makes it an obvious scam is that these so called men of God twist biblical tithes from agric products to money before mis applying it to the church. These are men that are supposed to know better but their greed and love of money has blinded them to the truth. Lately many of them are now twisting and redefining the biblical first fruit and using it to extort the first salary of the month from believers even though it's glaring that Christians are meant meant to obey any of these Mosaic laws.

The thing is that most Christians dont care about reading the Scriptures for themselves. if only they will take the time to read the Bible, what difference it will make?

its amazing how they use HELL FIRE to threaten people to PAY TITHES. Can we really owe our Big Daddy? Do i expect my 1yr old son to PAY me some % monthly? I owe my son his welfare. I clothe him, feed him etc & not the other way round.

Some paint God as a thief. They said He'll always take His 10th thru sickness, accident etc. How could one lie to His infinite love, mercy, grace & truth.

Romans 2:14 - For when the GENTILES, WHICH HAVE NOT THE LAW, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves…… vs 15

God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under d law, TO REDEEM THEM THAT WERE UNDER D LAW, that we (Jews) might receive d adoption of sons. Gal4:4,5

If U be led by d spirit, U ARE NOT UNDER D LAW. Gal5:18

Law in Rm2:-17- , Paul was addressing d Jews

Levi COMMANDED to take TITHES (purely a law thing) according to the LAW heb7:5

Romans 3:19 - Now we know that what things soever the law saith, IT SAITH TO THEM WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Sin shall not have dominion over U: FOR U ARE NOT UNDER D LAW, but under grace. Rm6:14 What then? Shall we sin, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER D LAW, but under grace? God forbid….Rm6:15

The Law made men high priests which have INFIRMITY; but d word of d oath which was b4 d law, made d Son…heb7:28

Unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; TO THEM THAT ARE UNDER THE LAW, AS UNDER THE LAW, that I might gain them that are under the law…1cor9:20

What shall we say then? That d GENTILES, WHICH FOLLOWED NOT AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, HAVE ATTAINED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, EVEN D RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH. But Israel, which follwed THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, HATH NOT ATTAINED to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? (Y?) Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by d works of d law. For they stumble at that stumblingstone. Rm9:30-32

Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:……… Acts 21:25 AS TOUCHING THE GENTILES WHICH BELIEVE, WE HAVE WRITTEN AND CONCLUDED THAT THEY OBSERVE NO SUCH THING (LAWS), save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

clevvermind:
where do tithing falls into?

My brother, its so CLEAR THAT TITHING its of the LAW. It was never given to Nigerians to keep. It was only an Israelite thing. My my people are so blind n will do anything to enter heaven. God knows their heart - that they just wanna enter heaven without caring about loving Him.

Some even lie that if u don't tithe, God will still take His tenth thru sickness, accidents etc how could one say such about This Great Live God? I don't tithe because its not for us n am really blessed by d Lord Jesus.

Deception is rampant. Nigerians are even ready to bribe their way to heaven.

Many poor have tithes for years with nothing to show for. When will they wake up? If u support a bad church (as we have many) u are partaking in their evil. Watch!!!

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Acts 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Acts 13:39 And by him all THAT BELIEVE ARE JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Acts 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:…Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:16 |But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE,….Ephesians 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power….

2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2 Thessalonians 2:12 THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

PURPOSE OF THE LAW

BEFORE FAITH CAME, WE WERE KEPT UNDER D LAW, shut up unto d faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal3:23

Galatians 3:24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [TO BRING US] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

For until d law sin was in d world: BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED (credited, counted) when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam 2 Moses, even over them that had not sinned after d similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is d figure of Him that was 2come. Rm5:13-14

Moreover d LAW entered, that d OFFENCE might ABOUND. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rm5:20-21

O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin; & D STRENGTH OF SIN IS D LAW (ouch!!!). 1cor15:55-56 (read from1)

SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER U: FOR U ARE NOT UNDER D LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE. Rm6:14 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under d law, but under grace? God forbid….Rm6:15

Sin took occasion by d COMMANDMENT (LAWS)& wrought in people all manner of evil concupiscence. FOR WITHOUT D LAW SIN WAS DEAD. Rm7:8, 11(Those Holy-Rollers – struggles with sin a lot)

The Law had a SHADOW of good things to come…heb10:1

The law was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith is come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER (LAW) Gal3:24-25,26 (Y suffer for nothing?)

The law works WRATH (extreme anger): for where no law is, there is no transgression. Rm4:15

We know that the LAW is good, if a man use it lawfully; knowing this, that THE LAW IS NOT MADE FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN (2cor5:21, Icor1:30 if u’ve receive Jesus, U’ve been made RIGHTEOUS), but for d lawless & disobedient, 4d ungodly & 4 sinners, 4d unholy & profane, 4 murderers of fathers/mothers, whoremongers (Prostitutes), manslayers, defilers, menstealers (kidnappers), liars, perjurers (one guilty of perjury – offence of willfully telling an untruth) 1tm1:9-10

Wherefore, my brethren, U also are become dead 2d law by d body of Christ; that U should be married 2 another, to Him who is raised from d dead, that we should bring fruit 2 God. For when we were in d flesh, d MOTIONS OF SINS, WHICH WERE BY D LAW (kai!!!), did work in our members 2 bring forth fruit 2 death. But NOW WE ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW (praise Jesus), that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, & not in d oldness of d letter. Rm7:4-6

Wherefore why then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; Gal3:19

Romans 7:7 - What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Romans 7:9 - For I was alive without the law once: BUT WHEN THE COMMANDMENT (laws) CAME, SIN REVIVED, AND I DIED.

Romans 3:20 - Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: FOR BY THE LAW [IS] THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.

Romans 7:11 - For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].

1 Corinthians 15:56 - The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.

KEEPING THE LAW DOESN’T SAVE U

Galatians 2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Avoid strivings (efforts, contend, struggling to keep d law) about the law tit3:9

Behold, I Paul say to U, that if U be circumcised, Christ shall profit U nothing. For I testify again 2 every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor 2do d whole law. Christ is become of no effect 2U, whosoever of U are justified by d law; U are FALLEN FROM GRACE. For we though d Spirit wait 4d hope of righteousness by faith. Gal5:2-4 -6

Being justified freely by His grace through d redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God has set forth 2b a propitiation (appease, conciliate, make peace) through faith in His blood, 2 declare His righteousness for d remission of sins that are past, through d forbearance of God; To declare, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, & d Justifier of him which BELIEVES in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay: but by d law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without d deeds of d law. Rm3:24-28

But that no man is justified by d law in d sight of God, it is evident: for, ‘The just shall live by faith’. Gal3:11

Romans 3:20 - Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

Did U receive d Spirit by d works of d law, or by d hearing of faith? Are u so foolish? Having begun in d Spirit, are U now made perfect by d flesh? Gal3:2-3

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Gal6:15

He that ministers 2U d Spirit, & works miracles among U, does he do it by d works of d law, or by d hearing of faith? Gal3:5

If righteousness come by d law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal2:21

Galatians 3:21 - [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
It is one God who will justify d circumcision by faith, & uncircumcision through faith. Rm3:30

Law could not bring perfection heb7:11

Law is carnal commandment heb7:16

Now d righteousness of God without d law is manifested, being witnessed by d law & d prophets; even d righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all & upon all them that believe…Rm3:21-22

The law is not of FAITH. Gal3:12

The Law IMPOSED on them could not make them perfect heb9:9-10

THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, but d bringing in of a better hope did ; by which we draw near to God heb7:19

There is therefore now no condemnation 2 them which are in Christ Jesus. For d law of d Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from d law of sin & death. FOR WHAT D LAW COULD NOT DO, IN THAT IT WAS WEAK THROUGH D FLESH, God sending His own Son in d likeness of sinful flesh, & for sin, condemned sin in d flesh: that d righteousness of d law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after d flesh, but after d Spirit. Rm8:1-4

What shall we say then? That d GENTILES, WHICH FOLLOWED NOT AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, HAVE ATTAINED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, EVEN D RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH. But Israel, which follwed THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, HATH NOT ATTAINED to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? (Y?) Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by d works of d law. For they stumble at that stumblingstone. Rm9:30-32


Acts 15:5 - But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses.
Acts 15:1-41 - And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
