Letter from a dear friend
Here is a "letter" to bring sanity to my mind again. Thanks, Daniel! Actually I copied and pasted this from MSN.
Something of note, did God stop the signs of wonders as he did in Moses time when the power of God parted the red sea, pillar of fire and cloud leading the Israel, and in Jesus' ministry, where miracles of healings etc? Question - Do you believe that God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow?
So I believe in miracles
But not in the way it is practiced today, u know why? People talked so much on moving in the gifts of the spirit. The Focus is all wrong. Let's look to Moses' life. Moses walked with God and he is the only one that God said He knew face to face. The key to a prophetic apostolic ministry today, is not talking and exercising the gifts. The key is a relationship with God! Moses knew God face to face. If a person who is so close to God, who knows His heart, i am sure the man of God will do God's will and signs and miracles will follow him.The point is most christians today, in fact all, substituted our relationship with God to programs, to exorbitant worship session, to glamour services. Past revivalists don't talk about moving in the gifts, they walked with God and they waited before God. They intercede for the nations (or their own nation). They place their faith in God. That's the characteristics of an apostolic ministry. I believe the God moses serve, is the same today, and tomorrow, so there is no reason why God cannot move in signs and miracles. In fact, i believe the greatest miracle is when a die hard drunkard come to a repenting faith and never touch alcohol again, or when a father whose heart is turned back to God, and his famil. These are the signs we so often choose to ignore day after day and these are great miracles.
Lastly, like Paul advise Timothy, "Be a workman who is approved by God, hang on to the Sound doctrines/teachings passed on from the Men of God and apostles... and fight the good fight, and keep the faith" You are now a leader, read and let Apostle Paul's instructions to Timothy become yours. You will need it especially when u r teaching God's precepts to the youth.
Heed Apostle Paul's instructions and warnings.
