EZEKIEL 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come,
and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned;
if the sword come, and take any person from among them,
he is taken away in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Pentecost
There are Christians who actually believe that God stopped listening
to prayer two thousand years ago around 58 A.D. They would never admit it but
if you listen to them carefully, they, in effect, say that if you
ask God for something, He will totally ignore you.
They believe that if you ask for
healing of an injury, ailment, or disease, he will not heal you.
They believe that
if you have an important life decision to make and you ask God for
direction, he will not direct you.
They believe that if you talk to God, God will not
answer back. What these Christians are actually saying is that
praying is a complete waste of time. They would never admit to
this, but if you listen to them carefully, that is exactly what
they are saying.
God performs miracles every single day all over the world. God talks
to every born again Christian every single day, we just don't always
hear Him. Some Christians claim they never hear Him. They are just
not listening.
Most miracles are done completely within science. God may make
a butterfly decide to turn left instead of right in South America,
which, because of the butterfly affect, ultimately causes a stick
to be blown off the road in North America and gives you a safe trip.
This does not have to be due to a prayer but often is. God is
more likely to perform a miracle if you pray for it. He is
even more likely to perform a miracle if you believe it with
all your heart. The more people who pray and believe, the more
likely that God will perform that miracle.
There are no Bible verses whatsoever that say the gifts of
the Pentecost stopped two thousand years ago.
If you believe such as thing, you are adding to the Bible
which is strickly forbidden.
DEUTERONOMY 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the
LORD your God which I command you.
If you and others ask for health and wealth and you and others
believe in health and wealth with all your heart, God is far
more likely to say yes than if you don't.
It is not enough to just go to church every week.
You must be born again. You must be born of the Spirit.
There is a problem if you are doing it for personal gain,
or do not admit that you are a
sinner
but as
long as you are doing it solely for Gods glory,
admit that you are a sinner, and more people
are getting into heaven because of your actions, then what you
are doing is a good thing.
