Laying On Hands With Demons

Hi, I have been involved in the demonic deliverance ministry for many years and can most assuredly guarantee you that the 'oppression' of demons can certainly occur from the laying on of hands. My mother when she was pregnant with the twins had a different doctor than normal do a final scan after which one of the twins immediately went into breach position. Found out later the doctor was an abortionist.

Who is Myles Munroe?

The point of his message is that we cannot sit idle and wait for God to move. We must do what God asks and wants us to do. The second point is that we do not understand how a true Kingdom works, and he shows us how a Kingdom works since this is how the Spirit world is set up. The third point about permission and God not being able to work on this world without us is evident in the scriptures. It is not that God does not have the ability, but rather that God set up Laws when He created this world that would force interaction with His creation in order for Him to move in this physical realm. And He will not break His own Laws just like he will not break His own Covenant with us.

My Girlfriend Isn't A Virgin

I can't tell you how much I feel your pain. There are some truths you MUST remember every day. 1. All sin is ultimately against God. 2. Sin is not simply what we do, but what we are. 3. Your sin debt to God is infinitely beyond what any person "owes" you (Matthew 18) Forgiveness hurts. It recognizes the hideousness of sin, and assumes the consequences of that sin. Don't give up the fight. I am also young, but I know a man in this situation who has been married for 15+ years and it still bothers him. If you marry this girl, your marriage will be a vivid picure of the gospel every day. It hurts more than you can imagine, but it is beautiful. I 100% endorse the book When Sinners Say "I Do" by Dave Harvey.

Pay Off Debts Or Pay Tithes

Defaulting on debt brings occasion for God to be defamed. But do not rob God to pay for your consumption. If you are in excessive debt you are likely in a position of spending more than you make, which will always end in trouble. Make the sacrifices necessary to give to God as well as make payments on your debt. Learning to live within your means will bring blessing to your life financially and spiritually.

Are Some Sports Unchristian
	#1 Interesting question. At the heart of every sporting evant is competition, so the true question is: Is competition a Christian attitude?

Today's Best Church Leadership
	The same person that has been doing the 'calling out' for the past 2000 years, The Holy Spirit.

How To Be Obedient
	Present yourself a living sacrafice. Put to death the deeds of the flesh. Pick up your cross daily. Submit to the Holy Spirit.

Is Jerusalem An Important City
	I believe the New Jarusalem will be the greatest city the world has ever seen. Do not love the things of this world, they will pass away.

Does God Recognise My Marriage

1Cr 7:10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 1Cr 7:11(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. 1Cr 7:12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

Why Are Some Pastors Lazy

It's true that the majority of pastors have very little accountability in their work week, so this makes personal discipline and work ethic a must. But for those complaining, so much more goes on behind the scenes than people realize. In addition to keeping office hours, 4-5/7 weeknights are taken up with church work/visitation etc. The pastor is on call 24 hours a day, and is the one to 'work out' any and all problems. I just shake my head at the armchair quarterbacks who think they can do a better job. Surrender then and do it! We are at a shortage as it is! By the way, I get 2 Sundays off a year, and preach 4 times a week the other 50. I'm not complaining, I love what I do, I just wish other people would get a clue.

What Country Are You From
	Born in Alberta, and now reside in Nova Scotia, Canada. Lovely place.

Witnesses Don't Believe Trinity

Each person will choose to believe whatever they desire. There is, however, only one truth. If you do not submit to The Holy Spirit, Christ the Son and God the Father and you choose to believe something that is in conflict with His word than He will be the judge of that. It is not the responsibility of the Christian to brow beat people into understanding. Understanding is only given through the Spirit it is His job to convict.

Faithful Christians Are Attacked

The missing key to healing is unforgiveness. Unforgiveness and bitterness will bring literal deterioriation to your bones and body, the bible says so. Bones will rot from the inside out, literally, from unforgiveness. Show me a bitter, unforgiving iconoclast and I'll show you someone that has trouble all around them. Iconoclast gone wrong. Doing the devil's accusing of the brethern and calling it God's work. Ever notice how rotten you feel when you read too many exposes that go for dirt they can dig up on someone and call it just the facts? Read too many of them and you feel as if you need to take a bath. It's dirty work. But it rubs back off them, too. Unforgiveness stops healing.

Faithful Christians Are Attacked

Writing long, drawn out exposes on everyone you consider to be a non-Christian, false teacher, false prophet may have it's place...but it takes a toll on the one writing them. Especially when the writing is filled with bitterness. It comes through, loud and clear. There's also something amiss about needing that kind of negative attention. There's nothing that edifies or exhorts. Like I've said, read too much of it and it makes me feel sick at heart. Being the critic of others as a life's work, I don't really think it's a work that pleases God. He alone is the Righteous Judge, and people aren't that qualified.

What Is Reprobate Mind
	That's a farse. There is no such thing as predestination, or predestined to be a reprobate. If you consider yourself reprobate, that would be of your own decision to be one. If you enjoy the idea of being a reprobate, it's doubtful that you have actually become one. Blogging about Christianity doesn't make one a Christian and thinking you might be too far gone for God is false humility and error.

Prophet Divinator Differences

The "prophet" here uses bible codes and other occultic divining tools for their prophecies. That is witchcraft. That's a prophet of divination, a false prophet. God's prophets do not require any kind of a tool, herescope or sign to give a prophecy. They are led of the Holy Spirit. They can hear God's voice without any form of witchcraft. They also know when someone is lying through their teeth. They can recognize one person trying to be all things to all people and getting it very, very wrong. A doubleminded false prophet, taking all sides of the debate will receive nothing from the Lord.

Spiritual Warfare Weekend

I'd tell them to think about a person that can shapeshift, become angry at the slightest provocation. Extreme anger is a sign of demon activity. Anger always comes with a demon. You won't a demon that doesn't become angry. They serve the father of all anger, and lies. Shapeshift, throw themselves on the floor, slither like a snake or contort their face like an animal. Demons are demonic creatures that can tear when coming out. If you don't know what you're doing, you have no business trying to cast out demons, a novice or inexperienced person could get the demon possessed person hurt.

Catholic To Marry A Muslim

You know what we're called, why are they building their churches all over the USA? Houston has a multitude of them now. Why do they want to come here when everything we stand for is to be despised. What a double standard. We're not allowed to take a stand on our own turf, because it's politically incorrect. It is the end days of apostate church, and blind as bats. Someone said every 400-500 years the power swings from west to east and east to west and back again. We're due for the switch, "they" say. I suppose that's due to corruption from within, playing the fiddle while Rome burns. We've done zilch to pull ourselves out of energy crisis in almost 40 years. Pathetic.
