    Answering Objections to Physical Healing in the Atonement

    I believe in physical healing because I have seen Jesus do it! My grandmother had heart disease in 2000 and the doctors did give up on her. the virus progressed and led to her death. The line went flat and she was literally dead for a few minutes but after we prayed Jesus allowed her to live...

    The Tarry Service

    Yessir you are right! Every believer receives the indwelling of the Holy Spirit at the point of salvation. Yet the prophet John the baptist spoke of another act of the Holy Spirit done by Jesus Christ in Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me me will come one who is...

    The Tarry Service

    Yes many "claim" to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit yet they have not received the precious baptism or immersion of the Holy Spirit. Yes speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is the initial evidence; but there is more to living by the Holy Spirit than tongues its a life...

    The Tarry Service

    That is true. Attending Pentecostal and Charismatic services I believe you need to attend being a new believer with someone who is more seasoned and has greater discernment. And as you grow in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit new believers can understand more of what happens in...

    What denomination would you say is the one most genuinely representing the original teaching of Chri

    None of them are closer than others. Jesus uses all denominations to spread His gospel and nurture and mature His believers. Yet it was not the original will of God for the Church to be split into several factions but to be united by the Holy Spirit. Yet when we leave anything in the hands of...

    The Tarry Service

    Oh yessir it is awesome! Yeah we do not do that now. Many churches have gotten away from the tarry service. As we have grown in the knowledge of the faith and matured in Jesus Christ we have learned that there is one critical component that was there in tarrying and in believing and that is...

    The Tarry Service

    I can attest to both of you all's experiences! We had some good ole church. Just to hear the corporate praise and worship without much instrumentation. We really believed in receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost by faith! We stressed tarrying which is just waiting for salvation (after the...

    The Tarry Service

    Many people may not have experienced the tarry service but I remember those times when we did. We would call it a "tarry service" or "Holy Ghost service" or "Fire Service" or simply "prayer service". Most would happen on Sunday evening, Friday evening, Saturday night or Wednesday night prayer...

Where people would fill the church or tent up and just shout, dance, run, fall out, weep, cry, pray, kneel and just be free in the Holy Spirit! I miss...

    Have the leadership of the church become pawns of the Devil?

    I do not believe all of the church leadership has become pawns of Satan as you put it. I believe though there are so who have came under the influence of Satan by either not being called by God or falling to temptation and sin and thus corrupting themselves. Yet there is still a lot of godly...

    The Power of Our Witness

    That is so true sister. And isn't it something when your Creator says depart from me I NEVER knew thee. He created you and would say that. To me I would not want God to tell me that! That is why I strive to live a life of a godly testimony and witness so He can say "Well Done, thy good and...

    The Power of Our Witness

    Jesus Christ founded the faith on His redemptive work and teachings of righteousness. Yet He knew that the only way the world and the unsaved would come to Christ to the Light is through the testimony and witness of the believers. In Acts 1:8 He gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us to witness...

    The Church (Protestant & Catholic) holds the truth and the standard of truth! When Jesus left He gave the Church power(Acts 1:8) to witness and bear testimony and light of the truth!
