My earliest Pentecostal Holiness connection was through my paternal grandmother who started her attendance with them in Oklahoma City in 1913. When the women started wearing make up and cutting their hair and wearing pants, she held to the old ways until her death in 1985 just short of her...

Salute! I was a microwave radio repairman at the beginning of the real combat role of USA from Aug 1964 to Aug 1965. I had two friends with the same job as me killed by the "enemy" while "off duty".

I also am veteran of Viet Nam!

You should not presume you know how God will answer or whether or not He will. The casting of lots WAS letting God reveal His choice. This usage of lots was also used to the OT in order to hear from God. Men may look to casting lots as a thing of chance, but for God who knows the answer...

I did not say the man was already an overcomer of the world in all respects as was Jesus. How would I know that? How would you know that he was not? You did not answer my questions at all. You only asked another one which only raised a point which likely would apply to most or all ministers...

I only asked questions which in themselves expressed where I am. Sorry if you unnecessarily took offense. I cannot be where you are simply because you disagree with where I am. Only God gives any real increase!

Jesus being qualified, paid the price for everyone. What that accomplished was it opened the closed door/gate into the Tree of Life. Coming out of the tomb still bound up in our own ways which when followed lead right back to the death of sin, some work needs to be done. The wrok is walking...

Why didn't Jesus remove the graveclothes which still bound Lazarus instead of saying what He did? "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." John 11:44 Even though Jesus...

Is Shambaugh a shyster, that is, a deceptive or unscrupulous person? Do you know this from personal experience or are you listening to someone else's words?

Sometimes, but I don't need to. I am talking to God and He helps me to pray the right prayer at the right time. Often we cannot do that when we are directing ourselves: "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23 God...

You doubt? I glad you did not say that you knew. Every place that I have been God has called me out of... That is because they were all in their measure, in Babylon or confusion. Anyone who retains any measure of confusion in him... including me still needs to be called the rest of the way out...

The problem with your response may be that you expect every answer to be what your mind says is reasonable? What if your mind's definition of reasonable is in error? What if the entire written Bible is 'message in tongues' from God awaiting an interpreter and the interpreter is NOT the logical...

This world on planet Earth was all created by God, but man has formed or reformed it according to his own purposes rather than as God led him. God has given us the reins to our own lives, but He wants us to give those reins back to Him and to keep on giving them back. When we do we learn also...

Was it? I apologize for that as it certainly was not my intention. Same problem people had with understanding the parables which Jesus spoke. For his serious and close followers He provided the interpretation. The others remain without understanding. Today we have the Holy Spirit as an...

But what if the orthodox or accepted doctrine disagrees with God? Consider how many of the Jewish leadership stood against and conspired against Jesus. Was Jesus a heretic?

My gift was not learned or coached into me. They tried that and it did not work. When everyone had given up with all of their foolishness, God gave me a gift. I don't claim that mine is in any human language although I know from experience with others and the scripture and God that sometimes...

No, God responds in different ways. Recall for the still small voice with which He spoke to Elijah [I King 19:12]? To him God did not speak through the wind or the earthquake or the fire... at least not at that time, but He does use those and probably a multitude of other ways to communicate...

Sometimes it a very difficult thing when dealing with very sick, very dear and very elderly people. Now for these last few years, since my pastor's wife died [in 2012] I have taken or been given by God responsibility for much of his doings... especially secular. He is very frail and will be 94...

Do you see so well as that then? We all need to be moving from seeing through a glass darkly toward that "face to face": "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12 "Where there is no vision...
