Hi CJ.
I'm not too sure what your stance is on tongues.
Mine is based on the teachings of Paul in 1 Cor 14
I believe today they continue but only in a dialect that no-one knows or understands and not as in Acts 2:4-6
re healing as the Apostles were able to do I am unaware of any where laying of hands onto a terminally ill baby has resulted in said baby recovering within hours.
Of course there have been claimed healings in those of sound mind but we must not forget the power of positive thinking/belief
I have no doubt that if GOD so desired He can MIRACOUSLY heal with the hands of other as the NT Apostles were able to prior to losing that ability eg Paul 1 Tim 5:23
Ever hear of cushings disease?
My dog had it and it is horrible.
A horrible death is the fruit of it.
It is terminal.
I have possibly the only dog on the planet that MIRACULOUSLY recovered supernaturally.
God is bigger than any devil.
God lead me into matt 18:18.
I claimed Matthew 18:18 over her for over 2 months everyday and probably over a 100 times a day.
I went to bat for her and I did not give up.
The only thing I heard from heaven was "stay with it".
And it truly seemed like nothing at all was happening. In fact, she got worse.
One night she lay there breathing heavily. And I knew she was dying, so I called my mother and I told her the bad news. And that we had failed, and I felt she would be dead by in the morning.
At 3:40 in the morning. My dog woke me up and ran to the door wanting to go outside. She jumped off the front porch and didn't even go down the steps and she ran to the back where the farmer has a plowed field, and she ran all around that field for an hour.
100% healed of cushings.
Get this.
The vet would not talk to me.
I went to another vet that knew cushings destructive outcome.
He did not believe me.
I said " i can prove it" do a blood test.
His jaw dropped when he saw it was near perfect.
See how it is? God does things and the skeptics spit on it.
I am opposite of a skeptic. I believe with every fiber God changes things.
BTW, they banned me from the cushings site.
Kicked me off.
Why? They said you give people false hope.
For me my walk with God is a wild ride.
For the skeptic it is status quo. No power.
